WWWWWWWW. MIDWEST INDIGO FIREEEEEEE
Is that just on desktop
I’m going vignette even tho I listen to lavish more cus it’s more punch core and that makes no sense but wtvr. Nobody thinks what I think frrr
NAH WHAT. SNAP BACK DOOKIEEEEE
The correct opinion
Snapback is peak clancy and I'll defend her with my life
HOUNDED BY A BUNCH OF DEAD WHEN THE SEARCH PARTIES FOUND HIM 🧟 🔥
Nah none of the songs are dookie
Verito by Beach Bunny on top 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

No you are keeping it for that terrible opinion. Thank you and good day
Hmmm I don’t think it’s overrated but I do think you and I might consider it worse than the rest bc, and I’m assuming you did this as well, personally I overplayed the hell out of it and while I still love it I need a break from it
we're talking abt the song thi
yesss
The others have that freshness bias
fr second best mv on the album
i didn't take in the first place
NO NOT ME, IT'S FOR A PROCTOLOGIST
??
cross linoleum!?
Lavish MV is better but the Vignette lyrics are deeper and more meaningful
ITS A TRIBUTE TO ZOMBIES 🧟♀️🧟♀️ OF WHICH IVE BECOME
nooooo I love vignette 😭 but penny loafer squeak... it has to be lavish unfortunately
yeah but lavish
most based opinion
vote lavish to be correct
I knowwww😩
if we're going off vibes, lavish
Reading this chat is fun
this is way too hard
BIG FLEX, COMPLEX NAPOLEON 💪
pure chaos
at it's finest
GUYS EVEN IF VIGNETTE LOSES IT STILL HAS A CHANCE BUT LAVISH WILL BE ELIMINATED IF IT LOSES THIS
I can't not vote the song that the lyrics are in my name
Lavish winning would be funny tho
youre making me feel guilt
Well it’s attached to you
Was it in here twice?
I love lavish cause I too sip a Capri sun like it's dom perignon
lavish has one life and vignette has two lives 😭
nuh uh
lavish is a vibe
I aswell have a penny loafer squeak
fr
Penny loafers squeak
argh, i just voted over vignette😭
NOOOOOO
YES
lavish is so forgettable and especially knowing that it's in between much stronger songs
If Snap Back is eliminated, then why wouldn't Lavish be
WWWW
Lavish is the song to shut off ur brain and vibe
nah
your proctologist does NOT have both hands on your shoulders while you're bottomless
i mean it is to me
why are you out here for vengeance; what did lavish do to you😭

LEVEL UP: You are now level 7!
Lavisweep

Nico you're not voting so go away
Lavish is elevator music
PEACE IT BACK✨ ALONE ✨ HOPE IT HELD TOGETHER 🔥🔥

across linoleum 💪💪
CERTIFIED BANGER
LITERALLY 😭😭
i say whatever and whatever that I want
BRO HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT HE IS SAYING BUT IT IS A BANGER 🔥
real
🔥freshhhhh🔥 off a binger in the woods, fleshhhh ✨covered in bites ✨
I vote for Overcompensate 🔥
click the other one it'll change
VIGNETTE 
don't worry I'm changing it back 🤞
people keep saying my name 
JEEESUS THAT WAS THE HARDEST ONE YET IMO
yay lavish!
what did you vote
vignette
it’s a song i catch myself singing a little bit more often than lavish
my boyfriend and i will pass each other with high pitched voices going clinging to promises
but i lovveeee lavishh
such a fun sing along song
such a tough decision ):
i’m gonna guess u voted lavish hahha
my two faves against each other </3
lavish upset
istg
because it's better
haha your username is awesome
thanks!
Vignette, not even close
it's ok, it's catch but the lyrics are very unpoetic and too straightforward to the point where i was like "that's just not them"
atrofd is sooo good !! i love the message and its so catchy ! i catch myself singing it all the time
😔
THANK YOU
I respect your opinion, but I will say it's my fav in the album 😁
same! I always sing it
yeah. I’m not even an enormous Vignette fan and this one is just so obvious
Both very good but 1 IU s simply the best
one is a bit of a filler song with really weird production and honestly weird vocals and the other is a powerful song about addiction with classic tyler falsettos
that's fair, i do like the sound of atrofd but the lyrics feel like they're mocking top in a way
but… vignette
I could go on for ages about my reasons for disliking Lavish but people consistently attack me for it, so Imma just say Vignette clears and leave it at that until I’m pushed
the vocals in vignette are amazing but I just rock with lavish
is this the bracket so far?
indeed
lavish is listenable, but very forgettable and lyrically quite terrible?
this server has odd taste sometimes
they disapointed me with the ns bracket
so much
that song made me cry when i heard it for the first time
it's so powerful while being extremely catchy and well produced
yep
LEVEL UP: You are now level 3!
it clears the whole record
lavish wont win but i vote lavish cuz i like it more
I have three major issues with it
one, it doesn’t fit in the album by any stretch of the imagination; even to provide relief from the heaviness of previous tracks
two, it’s evidently supposed to be a fun song, but I don’t find it fun at all; instead it comes off as very boring, underproduced, and lacking effort in both delivery and writing
three, as far as rap goes, it’s some of the worst they’ve ever put out
if lavish loses than it's out of the bracket
wsp nico
well i think it’s fair to say just because you have a favorite song, that doesn’t mean it everyone’s favorite song.
that’s the point of the bracket. everyone gets to vote for their favorites for whatever the reason.
i enjoy most of tyler's rapping but his flows on the song are really really bad.
):
and the rhymes are extremely uncreative
sure, i agree, but some things are objective
I'm praying that it wins
vignette is such a mid song im sorry
i think you can change your vote ?
i saw in past messages someone was able to
lavish is the easy vote
ns is objectively more musically interesting than midwest
this. and even if they’re not objective, you still have the right to make a case for your point
criticising someone’s opinion isn’t removing their right to that opinion
Doesn’t matter
I love em both
So much
oh my gosh ur pfp is soo cute !! love it
all opinions are fine, but objectively vignette is miles ahead of lavish
Also my username isn’t a lie
yeah
opinions don't matter here it's apples and oranges
it's comparing radiohead to 100 gecs
awe thank u !!
and Lavish isn’t? you’re insane
I played ns while running on a treadmill and I was able to do smthn really hard for me
lavish is so catchy
guys arguing wont change people's vote
It gives me so much hope and energy
True
let's all just hold hands and sing
Vignette is ridiculously catchy too what are you on
But WE ALL HAVE GUNS FOR HANDS
YEAH
both songs are good choose which one u like better womp womp
let’s hold guns and sing
Not sure when it’s started 
Welcome
To the new
wrong reply? 😂
ehh i dont find it catchy its just kinda boring to me
clinging to promises dont hit as hard as the proctologist line
FIGHTING OFF THE VIGNETTE
exactly my thoughts on Lavish
it’s just boring
CRAP this is close for me but I'll have to go Vignette, Lavish is a really fun song though
i hope this is a joke
even tyler dislikes the proctologist line
I changed it back to vignette 😭
who told u dat
Wait what? When did he say this?

tyler tweeted that it's stupid or something along those lines
Lavish does get stuck in my head pretty often
i think
it’s got shock value and for that reason it is catchy
but it is not a good bar
yall should listen to more rap
how 😭
AGREE
even top has levitate ots and stuff which have great rap verses
fr
everyone who thinks the rapping on Lavish is luxurious and smooth needs to listen to Childish Gambino or Little Simz or Denzel Curry
gambino is mid 😭
disagree on ots, but Levitate’s rap is insane
seems like you haven't heard his latest song
someone hasn’t listened to gambino
it's soooo good
is vignette gonna win this whole thing lmao
NO NOT ME ITS FOR A FRIEND
i feel like tyler (not joseph) nailed the vibe lavish was aiming for on cmiygl
which is a fantastic album
YO THAT’S SO TRUE
WUSYANAME is literally Lavish if it was flirty and good
yaaaa
okay listen to Rollin Stone by Little Simz. that’s some luxurious flow
the whole album sounds like you're a rich guy on a three story yacht
you’ll like it I promise
i like little simz
it does 😂
i haven't heard this tho
it’s so good
there’s a fire switchup
but it’s one of those where I genuinely don’t like one beat over the other
i'll check it out
there’s also a song called JUICE by Tobe Nwigwe. one of my favourite rappers oat
which gives off the same energy, just a bit more hype
cool cool
ping me when you do
I wanna hear your thoughts
LAVISH LAVISH LAVISH LAVISH
So hard this one
They need to have a button to the side that's a can't decide/both
that button exists
it’s called ‘don’t vote’
it has the exact same effect
💀
Yeah I know but like
I wanna see how many other people couldn't decide either
what would you get out of voting for both
right
Its like eh I don't have to vote anyway but I just wanna see the margin that's like me ig
sorry 😔
Kinda like the polls on youtube or twitter where there's a “I just wanna see results”
that’s a thing?
it's looking like lavish is gonna lose
as it should
Yeah people do that so randoms arent voting willy Milly just to see the voting margins
gg lavish 
oh right yeah
bro...
I thought you meant like an inbuilt button
as opposed to another option labeled that
that makes sense
Vignette easily
I love the lavish video and the song is pretty good too, but Vignette is one of my favorites from Clancy
Lavish gave us memes, merch and a dope music video
but vignette has 2 lives and lavish has 1 life left
Still don't understand how that works tbh
memes and merch do not a good song make
-Master Oogway probably
and Vignette also has a dope mv
each song starts off with 2 lives and if they lose against a song they have one more life
Nah i definitely heard him say that at the end credit scene
If lavish wins this i'm gonna cry
if they lose again it's out
yeah you had to stay an hour after the movie
no hate but vignette is easily my fav
vignette is still gonna be in though
good man
double elimination
Vignette plot twist at the ending was the greatest plot twists in history imo
Oh ok thanks
lavish is gonna get out already...
my question is how tf did navigating win agaist routines
like BRO
cause it’s better
it is by a significant margin
😒 🙄
this is why I don't like navigating
because it makes me angry
everyone likes
it
but it's not that good
Wash ur mouth out excuse you
the chorus is garbage
because other people like it? that’s some interesting logic
LOL
but the versus are decent
alr explain why then
happy to hear reason
and gone
I don't think you honestly would tbh
it just doesn't sound good and the vocals are all over the place
🧍
no genuinely, I’ve had my mind changed on music I could have yelled at someone about because good points were made
I’m confident in my points cause I believe them, but I’m open to better ones
just my opinion
Oh nvm i thouthh that was abt explain why the chorus was GOOD mb
oh no LOL
no I love it
I was asking for an explanation on why it was bad
cause I don’t think there’s a good one
yeah im just slow this morning lol
nws
No not me it’s for a friend (denial)
it's fine
Wii music
WHERE ALL THE VIGNETTE FANS
Convinced its the same red paper in my blood tbh
(to preface, I’m not gonna respond to ‘it doesn’t sound good’ cause that’s not an explanation)
the vocals being all over the place is fair, but I don’t think that really makes or breaks the chorus. the vocals are really powerful imo and the melody is super dynamic. the big jump in notes is definitely marmite though, I reckon on that point it’s down to taste so if you don’t like it fair enough. however on the other merits of the chorus I’d argue that the chorus is very succinct and well-written; it’s not too wordy and it’s extremely catchy (they used the key change trick they’ve often utilised in other songs to achieve this, and it always works). the subject matter is evident from the lyrics and yet it’s still very poetic
that was more than intended
but you get the gist
it’s a good chorus
COOKED
Oh this is… this is… a criminal battle
fair enough still not gonna change my opinion about it just not one of my favorites
The thing about navigating is that it's not something we've seen in top, we've basically never seen something as heavy and rock as navigating and it sounds insanely good, it's really important for the lore and it is very relatable because of the meaning, it's one of those that hits very very hard and yeah
The bridge in navigating is also super good and you can tell it really came from tylers heart
yeah
that's fair
people just center way too much in the songs musically (even if it's important) but it's weird in the matter of top when they question why people like certain songs when prob they're forgetting the idea of top is how you can relate the songs and messages to your life by giving your own interpretations 😭
LAVISH
Okay now this is difficult
VIGNETTE
I LITERALLY WENT TO A LAVISH LOCATION THE OTHER DAY
Clinging tooo promises, fighting off the vignetteeee!
Lavish>>>
These are my 2 fav songs whyyyy
Lavish is cooked
i mean lavish is cool but it's very joking while the entire album is very serious so that contrast makes it weird
even if you can give it a serious message the music video just makes it a funny song and that's all
i love lavish though
God I love lavish but it got paired with 2 songs that were decidedly better, it had no chances 😭
but I'll go with vignette
VIGNETTE IS SOOO GOOD
vignette hits so hard with the addiction topic and whatnot
clinging toooooo promiseeeeess
it's so relatable
I agree
vignette has probably the best rap among the raps in clancy
it's up there
but you forgot Overcompensate
autocorrect
LOL
yeah it's so cool
we won't hesitate to maybe overcondensate
-my bathroom windows
I'll be honest I didn't think through the message
I just wanted to make a pun
i think this would be my rank but i'm not too sure
1- overcompensate (not overcondensate)
2- vignette
3- at the risk of feeling dumb
4- routines in the night
5- lavish
lavish don't deserve to be last 😭
hmmm
is that all the rap in the album
wait does routines have rap
sice when
yuh
yeah that's my only complaint about clancy, it barely has raps
and most of them last like 1 second
I saw someone in YT comments saying it's a rap oriented album 💀
xnkskddn not even half of the album has raps this is amazing
unfortunately the most rap oriented album they have is Vessel and most of those raps are terrible
Reoccurring keeps coming around, rem cycle skip night psycho trip verse
that's not rap
not by tøp standards at least
rap can be melodic, but whenever the pilots have rapped they've not done it melodically unless I'm forgetting any
i get why scaled and icy was not that rap centered but i personally was expecting to see more raps in this new era
but it's fine like it's not a bad thing
just that i thought we'd see raps like trench
if that's not a rap then this is worse just 4 raps 😭
honestly most of the time their rap is kinda mid so I'm not too mad about it, despite being a hip-hop head
Trench is some of their best showing hip-hop wise
I hope vignette wins, the last two votes have been absolutely braindead
i love their raps because most of the times they're the moment of breakdown in the song and where you usually see the heaviest lyrics
forest could be a good example
that is fair, but as a rapper and a hip-hop enthusiast, from a technical perspective a lot of it is really not good
like I get the emotion but it's not as great as it's made out to be
yeah
i barely listen to hip hop so i can't appreciate the difference you're saying here
but that makes sense yeah
maybe their way of making the raps is not the conventional way of doing it
besides they don't have swears
It's not that it's unconventional (although to a degree it can be), it's just extremely basic most of the time
painfully so
oh
🤓 !!
I don't disagree you're right
so vessel for example is not that good in terms of raps you're saying?
🤓
Yes
well pretty much the entire album has raps so idk
i like them maybe i like basic raps
I can understand the emotional power behind them, and for that reason I get why people enjoy them. and for a band whose lead singer isn't a rapper, they are above average
but from the perspective of someone who very regularly listens to and studies rap of all kinds, and has participated in the genre as an artist for years, there is very little technical merit to be found and almost no comparison to be made with real hip-hop
not gonna bash you for enjoying it
in terms of music i don't honestly care, if i like what i'm listening to then I'll like it, and i think top builds around that, like for starters it doesn't even have a music genre, even if they might enter in a certain category they do whatever they want and it sounds good so yeah
i like their raps because it's not the "sex, i have money, lots of money" you see often
that's just my very different perspective
I will say, this is not as frequent as it's made out to be
I could name you a ton of rappers who don't participate in that kind of lyricism
but I digress
ultimately yeah tøp has massively improved in terms of how they write rap, but I stand by my points that they have a lot of really rubbish hip-hop verses
i think they can't be considered a rap artist they just do rap their way, it's unfair to compare top to artists that know what they're doing and are really talented in that genre
as previously mentioned they are above average for an artist that isn't a part of the genre
but going at it without that in mind
that's how I'd argue it is
that's probably their style even if it's not that good
but like
do you like it?
even if it's not the best
personally, depends on the verse
I'm not a fan of their delivery in a lot of instances
but I don't base my objective opinions on my personal enjoyment of the songs
idk man
You do you lol
it's more complex than i thought
is it fair to say it's just a different way of doing rap and that would work?
idk what you're trying to get me to admit here?
I feel like I've explained my position already
it's okay to disagree on it
nono that's not what i meant
okay- well in that case
I’d say not really
yeah, it's just i find it weird that i've never heard of something like this and it's like "man, why are they that successful?"
however like I said, that only really applies to their rap from the very beginning through to some of Blurryface
and some outliers like Lavish and such
mostly, their rap from Trench onwards has been a major improvement, and can be compared to artists more solidly in the hip-hop world
still not exceptional, but genuinely good
I’d argue they’re so successful because of their lyrics, emotional power, and unique production
I don’t think their success is in any way due to their rapping ability
Do you actually enjoy music
based
that makes sense, thanks for taking your time (and patience)
np
glad you got some value out of this
I love Vignette but I can’t not choose Lavish lol
Facts
OMG NICE
Does the video make vignette funny?
lavish ftw
Routines have rap?
Also i like bavckslide rap (Verse 2) and snap back
backslide is mid
i’m sorry but i am a devout hater of backslide and can not stand that song
backslide is my favorite in the album haha
how come?
I didn't really like it at first but it grew on me like crazy
it’s not well put together
like at ALL compared to anything else on there
i mean backslide compared to midwest indigo
midwest absolutely cooks it
put together in what way?
production
like i can understand the meaning but it just never grew on me at all
Backslide is not best by any means but its not bad.
but I don't think it makes the song awful
it's just a weak point
like it was really really underwhelming and i tried getting into it
Backslide better than snap back
yeah I think it was stupid to make it a single, so in that sense I get the idea of it being underwhelming
but in a vaccuum
it has a lot more merits than it gets credit for
i don’t think it’s objectively bad at all (again, i say this about every song) but even if it has flaws i could find flaws with every song on the album and i still love them all
they could’ve given that single to smth like midwest indigo or routines and could’ve gone for the radio push
easily
also this is pretty funny to me because I didn't make any effort to get into it
but I was in my feels and decided to stick it on for no reason
and something clicked
suddenly I loved it
it was weird
totally get not enjoying it though
Kinda, but at least it had more time to grow on me and there was less disappointment when album dropped
Anyways I agree, routines should have been 3rd single instead of backslide
honestly I think people would appreciate it more if their only points of reference weren't Overcompensate and Next Semester lol
those are some giants to compete with
so having expectations for the next single matching those two
and then getting Backslide
is pretty bad
but in the context of the album I think it'd be more enjoyed from the jump
Thats good point, but if all singles slapped then there would be more disappointing tracks on the album itself
i honestly like backslide more than the two singles before it (it took me a while to get into overcompensate especially) but i guess they were more widely liked than backslide
Routines would be ideal single, tbf
True, but all albums have duds; and I feel like people would understand why the singles were picked to be singles then
Routines or Navigating
Navigating couldnt be single because of the lore video
lavish has single potential too
True!
Routines or lavish, imo
Navigating would be cool if the video wasn't lore
OC video is lorr
*lore
I think it'd work
Yea but then there would be no lore video on release day and that would suck
:3
i think i like the two other singles more bc they are so much better produced and better sounding to me and my music taste practically derives from both alt rock and rap
lavish is awesome buuut vignette is my baby
Agreed
oh not Lavish fighting off the Vignette
‘cross linoleum
sorry lavish, you're a fun song and all, but vignette is a phenomenal song
are we doing this based off of preference or objectivity 😭
tbh i think it should've been routines or navigating instead of backslide. like i love backslide and i love the blurryface vibes, but it's not a great song to be a single imo, especially coming after the giants that are overcompensate and next semester
how are y'all debating backslide right now omg
i might vote lavish just for that slander
okay but i love lavish because it's so upbeat and easy to repeat but just the chorus and post-chorus of vignette beat it
tyler's higher vocals 🥰
I’m going off objectivity
but I don’t think many others are
me and my 70 backslide listens are cringing at this chat
Gotta be real... these two are at the bottom of my Clancy ranking
fair
Vignette definitely has more legs to stand on when compared to Lavish imo
Rip lavish
lavish is just one of my go-to's because it doesn't make me
sad like some of the others 🥲
honestly very few of them actually make me sad
it’s quite a hopeful album imo
ok fine i meant tired and sad but i didn't want tired to be taken as boring
routines in the night is amazing but it's too chill
for me to constantly have it on
LOL
i'm dozing as we speak like please help
if you consider Navigating tiring idk what to say
I didn’t know which message to reply to, that’s my bad 💀
I meant, if Lavish to you is a relief from the tiredness of the rest of the album, that surely implies Navigating is counted among that
especially considering it’s right next to Lavish
Easy win lol.
literally everything tires me out so i wouldn't take that so seriously
cute sleep disorder things ig
yup LOL
genuine question what does everyone mean when they say a song is objectively better? like what factors are you considering? in my opinion music can’t really be objectively judged (like most art), its all personal preference
LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!
oh funky
for me at least i just mean objectively like not considering how often i listen
or if i have an attachment to it
i see why that's confusing tho
it’s really hard to phrase; because obviously yeah in the grand scheme of things music isn’t objective. However there are objective elements to it, which you can judge by detaching your personal emotions towards the music from your judgements on the music
No song is objectively better than another.
However, one song can be better based on metrics used. Those metrics though are still subjective.
that was all the same thing LOL
then what are the objective elements? like how catchy it is, or the lyrics, or something else?
hopefully that helps
i can see lyrics being objective but beyond that everything still seems like opinion
It’s kind of (though this analogy will break down if you look at it too hard) like a detective case. two detectives might look at all the evidence given for the same case, and come out with completely different thoughts on it because they interpreted how they all fit together differently
that also depends on the person and the song
lyrics are big for me but i'm okay with goofy songs like lavish too
the two major things I use (which can be broken down into smaller elements depending on the song), are:
1: what the song is trying to achieve. if it was attempting to be one thing, how close did it get to reaching that goal?
2: comparing it to other songs in the same genre or by the same artist
i'm not good at words idk what to tell u fam 🙏
going based off of less subjectivity is that better
That's subjective but I get what you're trying to say.
I think that’s as objective as you can get
this is so hard to explain
the only real objective metric you can use to judge art is ‘did it achieve its goal’
ig it’s just like, detaching emotions and looking at it analytically, do you think it did what it was supposed to
that’s how I do it
I think there might be a slight disconnect between the way "objective" is used in casual speech and what "objective" actually is.
yes
ok that one makes sense a little. i will stand by my belief that all music and i think all forms of art too(?) are subjective and even if they’re generally regarded as better that’s mostly a societal thing (a lot of people see something as good so that becomes the standard) but i think i understand what you’re saying a little more than before
Society says that RAB is bad and society is absolutely correct.
yeah exactly. like nothing about art is actually ever 100% objective, other than like who made it, what materials were used, etc. but you can look at it without letting your emotions on it cloud your thinking
if that makes sense
yeah for sure thanks
hold on WHAt did you just say about RAB
wha- ok
Forest is the most overrated TØP song simply because some people like it.
RAB is like the Cars 2 of top’s early music
Self Titled was good, RAB went off on a whole other thing, and then Vessel returned to form
not going to try to change either of your opinions but i respectfully disagree haha
fair lol
Imagine being a TØP fan in 2011 and hearing the original version of Trees. 😭
LEVEL UP: You are now level 5!
genuinely I listened to it for the first time recently and couldn’t believe my ears
Trees is my favourite tøp song and RAB Trees is my least favourite
it’s that drastic
that’s fair
kitchen sink is one of my favorites though
that first verse hits hard
I find the metaphor a bit weird and convoluted
but it’s nice enough
I enjoy Glowing Eyes
Kitchen Sink is good I will admit.
The pretty screaming.
dON'T LeAVE MEEE ALOOOOOOOONE
Kitchen Sink I find really funny, because it has an actual rapper on it and it shows the contrast so well between Tyler’s level of rapping at that point and what the standard is in hip-hop LOL
“* Are you searching for purpose? // Then write something, yeah it might be worthless // Then paint something then, it might be wordless // Pointless curses, nonsense verses // You'll see purpose start to surface // No one else is dealing with your demons // Meaning maybe defeating them // Could be the beginning of your meaning, friend”
clear has grown on me a lot especially the chorus if we're on the topic of RAB
What do you think about the verse?
I don’t think it fits on the song, but that might just be because I’m not used to hearing features in tøp’s music
it’s good in a vacuum though
Oh.
I think it's a horrendous abomination of a rap verse. But it's okay because the chorus and everything other than the verses on Kitchen Sink is good.
his brother is a famous rapper? that's news to me
I mean yeah if you put it in the context of hip-hop as a genre it is the bare minimum 💀
but it is serviceable
The rhymes are creative
It starts off decent but the lyrics at the end are just horrendous.
the gambling man line is weird yeah LOL
The good thing is that it goes right into the chorus after the bad part of the verse.
I think he’s the same guy as on Pet Cheetah
what are y'all taking about 😭
choons
is that not tyler's brother??
Zorp, zleep glorb.
it is
Tyler’s brother is also on Pet Cheetah
why u callin him "the same guy" then 😭
I think Jocef counts more as an "actual rapper" than Tyler's brother.
bro has no name anymore
cause I don’t know his name LOL
I forgot if it's spelled with a k or a h.
oh yeah it’s in Lane Boy isn’t it
I don’t like that song
so
I don’t usually think about it
Hot take but me too.
I enjoy that one lol
good production there
and the performance is actually convincing, unlike most of that album
although if you didn't like it it wouldn't matter cuz i get to go see it live woooo
unless they change the setlist entirely
then that rlly sucks
maybe
this is why i stay out of debates 💀 i usually like all the music my favs have put out
Fairly Local is one of the most hated songs on Blurryface for some reason. (According to aoty.)
screw aoty
Can it be a debate if it's just music?
:(
I love aoty it's much better than other sites.
I don’t even like Blurryface but I enjoy that one
Aoty is a very easy website to use and there's much to interact with.
that's nice and all
i don't like the people on there i use it to keep track of stuff
that's ab it
Fairly Local, Doubt, and Goner
the three good songs on that project
LEVEL UP: You are now level 13!
review sites are a big reason people are so hateful about entire artists
This is kinda based
i don't care anymore i wouldn't enjoy anything if i listened to
the people on that site 😭
Goner is awesome
Clancy is a 3.3/5 (which is a 6.6/10).
On RYM.
not everyone can be right yk /j
Heavydirtysoul
so basically Anthony’s rating
unsurprising
I wish Goner was recorded with a decent microphone.
it’s a bit of a mishmash so I’m not a huge fan, but it’s passable
the judge?
that used to be my favourite tøp song but it’s grown off me
it’s a bit repetitive
All the Blurryface songs that I like:
Goner: 7.5/10
Heavydirtysoul: 7.5/10
Stressed Out: 7/10
Fairly Local: 6.5/10
Fight me.
Blurryface is probably the most boring top album but it’s not the worst
Doubt?
Self titled is the worse by far
RAB
fair
i love all of blurryface, but again, personal preference
only if you don’t count RAB
im out bro
but even then, Self Titled has some good songs
air catcher is amazing argue with the wall byeeee
To rank all TØP albums:
Trench: 9/10
Clancy: 8.5/10
Vessel: 8/10
Self Titled: 7/10
Scaled and Icy: 6.5/10
Blurryface: 3.5/10
Regional at Best: 1.5/10
Rab is much better I really like slowtown, glowing eyes and ruby
Hell yeah.
No.
Listen to Trapdoor and tell me ST is bad.
Trapdoor is my favourite st song
Scaled and Icy below Self Titled is the only thing I’d change
The rest is mid
Trapdoor is not my baby but it is my adopted son.
otherwise that is perfect
Fall away, taxi cab, Johnny boy and the pantaloon are also decent
Ngl trench is a 2/10 for me what’s the hype
No way.
