Wow...."Take a Byte" is probably the song I revisit most often after "Make Me Feel"
I don't know what some of you are on, but I certainly don't want any.

The "Crazy, Classic, Life" - "Take a Byte" - "Screwed" trilogy is definitely the highlight of this album for me, aside from the singles. I gave them 4.5 - 4 - 5 ratings solely based on these songs as standalone tracks. But in the flow of the album "Take a Byte" works perfectly fine.

The opening line "I'm not the kind of girl you take home to your mama, no/I tell you no lies" over that thumping bass line is everything

We're kicking off the top half with our first two 6s, which belong to a song that was in 1st place for multiple lists, but eventually got pushed back to the 4-7 area.
Highest Score: 6 (x2)

#5 didn't spend a single list outside of the 4-7(.5) range. It also has the lowest SD, thanks to it having the highest low score of the whole game, and being the last song remaining without any 6s.
Highest Score: 5 (x4)

For today's last reveal, we have a second single, meaning Screwed has made the top 3. This song only missed the top 3 by 0.5 points, but was initially doing terribly, spending four lists in the bottom 2.
Highest Score: 6 (x2)

Great top 3. Would've preferred if I Like That made top 3 instead of Make Me Feel, but MMF missing top 3 was never gonna happen anyway so. The two best songs on the album are still in the running though, so that's good.

#3 is tied with #2, but it lost the tie due to having less 6s. This has a fairly average SD, and more 4.5s than #2.

OK so it's my last 3 vs. my only 4 (which I used my 6 on). Go "Make Me Feel"! Janelle and Grimes, what a partnership. "Venus Fly" is sooooooo good.

Alright...it's time for the final reveal.
Make Me Feel vs. Screwed
The 2nd highest SD vs. the 6th lowest
87 points vs. 97 points
But which will win? Take a byte guess!

Well-deserved Top 2! For a moment I was worried "Pynk" would win. Glad that people appreaciated "Skrewed" as they should!

I find Make Me Feel overrated, but it's still good. Was pulling for the upset.

This was fun to do as a ratedown, there needs to be more of those!
Pynk is just such a good song, Janelle and Grimes are always magic together, see the already mentioned Venus Fly (give that a listen y'all). What I found weird at first was that while it very much sounds like something off Art Angels, it wasn't produced by Grimes, she only provided background vocals. Such a bop though and my instant favorite on the album together with Screwed, which I would have loved to give a second 6. Two anthems.
Make Me Feel was always gonna be the winner, and don't get me wrong it's a great song but I would've loved if Screwed, Pynk or I Like That pulled the upset victory.
Thanks for hosting Samo!

Thanks samo🦕 for hosting this ratedown. Expected winner but pleasantly surprised by Screwed and Pynk in the top 3.
