Oh sure, the type of crowd I’m often with, in terms of faves, loves to overthink “she’s really cool and is good at being cool over catchy loops.” Like, just deal w it

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.

I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.

Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

We can disagree on the vote, just don’t act like it’s more than a personal preference/agenda. That’s all this whole thing is!

Off Disintegration and no of course it’s not viewed the same. And TBF that’s a much higher seed that’s one of the best albums of all time, but still

Sure if you count the repeated “interludes” that are less than 30 seconds each.

Drop the first 5 songs off the Cruse album and look at that, it’s not all that strong an entry! Weird

SaveMeASeat @savemeaseat.bsky.social · 1d

These both deserved to not meet for at least another round, and both are incredible. Janet’s is just too strong, the ways it pushes dance music and pop while still nailing the hooks it legit may get my vote all the way through

“Take a record loaded with several great songs and imagine it’s an EP without any of its best songs”

No LP in the field would survive this. If you like Julee’s album better that’s fine (I’m a huge fan of it, even if voting the other way) but there’s no objective exercise involved there
