Armand Hammer f/ El-P - "The Gods Must Be Crazy" (willapted33, #3) vs Nothing But Thieves - "Oh No :: He Said What?" (jtd, #4) Absolutely wild production on The Gods Must Be Crazy and I love it, and it helps all three deliver fantastic verses. Oh No's one of NBTs weakest singles lately, not a fan of the synths used. beabadoobee & Laufey - "A Night to Remember" (reputainbow, #3) vs Lil Yachty - "A Cold Sunday" (willapted33, #4)Both solid but I respond more with the smooth old-school hip-hop production on A Cold Sunday than the bossa nova on A Night to Remember Ariana Grande - "we can't be friends (wait for your love)" (M5AGTS, #3) vs Quadeca - "PRETTY PRIVILEGE" (Mayman, #4)
Ariana's gonna sneak in but this is far more potent, the crushing production and atmosphere here is great. Really glad I checked out Quadeca's album. Brooke Murtle - "Emotion Sick" (CLD, #3) vs Muni Long - "Made for Me" (SabrinaFan, #4) Still not wild for Muni Long. She's alright but having gone back to 00s R&B recently, she doesn't hold up with the artists then or now. Emotion Sick was a pleasant discovery Jorja Smith - "Falling or flying" (jtd, #3) vs AMAKA - "Cruisin'" (woods, #4)Battle between the R&B acts here and tricky as both of these were good while doing two different things. Overall, just by a hair, I liked Cruisin more. Really dug how sexy it sounded. Yuka Kitamura & Alex Roe - "Spring ~A Journey of Water~" (Khan, #3) vs Smallpools - "Night Shift" (maine, #4) Smallpools was rather generic pop rock that you could get from any pop rock band like WALKTHEMOON or Foster the People. Sping was just a beautifully composed piano track. I'm surprised how underground this is because this sounds so epic and orchestral without feeling loud or overly bombastic. I'm definitely excited to here more from this act. acloudyskye - "Surface" (wheatsquares33, #3) vs Zach Bryan - "Tourniquet" (Khan, #4)AGH, this really sucks as both of these were really good. I really liked acloudyskye's album and I like the shift to indie rock...but Tourniquet was one of my favorites on Zach's album and it's still so crushing months later. Just a gut punch of a song. Also would like to say Thank you to all those who got me this far as I got all 6 of my songs past the Prelims! You really love me!!

beabadoobee & Laufey - "A Night to Remember" (reputainbow, #3) vs Lil Yachty - "A Cold Sunday" (willapted33, #4)
- I do probably prefer ANTR but A Cold Sunday was a solid first listen! Gonna give it my vote since it’s not likely to get a lot of votes it seems.
Ariana Grande - "we can't be friends (wait for your love)" (M5AGTS, #3) vs Quadeca - "PRETTY PRIVILEGE" (Mayman, #4)
- I think I like this Quadeca song more than the one from WTM! Meanwhile wcbf is my current favorite from eternal sunshine.
Brooke Murtle - "Emotion Sick" (CLD, #3) vs Muni Long - "Made for Me" (SabrinaFan, #4)
- 🗣️ NOBODY KNOWS ME LIKE YOU DO!
Jorja Smith - "Falling or flying" (jtd, #3) vs AMAKA - "Cruisin'" (woods, #4)
- Cruisin' is great but Falling or flying was one of my extras so it gets my vote.
Yuka Kitamura & Alex Roe - "Spring ~A Journey of Water~" (Khan, #3) vs Smallpools - "Night Shift" (maine, #4)
acloudyskye - "Surface" (wheatsquares33, #3) vs Zach Bryan - "Tourniquet" (Khan, #4)
- Really cool production in Surface!

Armand Hammer f/ El-P - "The Gods Must Be Crazy" (willapted33, #3) {8.9} vs Nothing But Thieves - "Oh No :: He Said What?" (jtd, #4) {7.2} oh no is the best recent nbt song i’ve heard but the gods must be crazy is such an interesting sound & it constantly grows on me
beabadoobee & Laufey - "A Night to Remember" (reputainbow, #3) {8.8} vs Lil Yachty - "A Cold Sunday" (willapted33, #4) {8.6} voting for my song to get back some respect :100: :100:
Ariana Grande - "we can't be friends (wait for your love)" (M5AGTS, #3) {7.5} vs Quadeca - "PRETTY PRIVILEGE" (Mayman, #4) {8.4} scrapyard is so good man
Brooke Murtle - "Emotion Sick" (CLD, #3) {6.3} vs Muni Long - "Made for Me" (SabrinaFan, #4) {7}
Jorja Smith - "Falling or flying" (jtd, #3) {7.8} vs AMAKA - "Cruisin'" (woods, #4) {7.6} falling or flying was a highlight from the album, cruisin’ is also a good discovery but i slightly prefer jorja here
Yuka Kitamura & Alex Roe - "Spring ~A Journey of Water~" (Khan, #3) {7.4} vs Smallpools - "Night Shift" (maine, #4) {6.4}
acloudyskye - "Surface" (wheatsquares33, #3) {7.8} vs Zach Bryan - "Tourniquet" (Khan, #4) {8.3} surface was a really good discovery though

Armand Hammer f/ El-P - "The Gods Must Be Crazy" (willapted33, #3) vs Nothing But Thieves - "Oh No :: He Said What?" (jtd, #4) Interesting political illusions mentioned in The Gods Must Be Crazy. Oh No :: He Said What? falls apart when I hear the similarity to Sacrifice, which is imo very overrated stiff song.
beabadoobee & Laufey - "A Night to Remember" (reputainbow, #3) vs Lil Yachty - "A Cold Sunday" (willapted33, #4) A Night to Remember is about what one will expect from the collaboration between these two. Still not particularly amazed by either vocal but it's a solid listen. A Cold Sunday feels too stream-of-conscious for me to like.
Ariana Grande - "we can't be friends (wait for your love)" (M5AGTS, #3) vs Quadeca - "PRETTY PRIVILEGE" (Mayman, #4) WCBF is a knockoff of Dancing On My Own but it still works considering how bad mainstream pop are nowadays. PRETTY PRIVILEGE is weaker than TEXAS BLUE by a lot. Don't really like the production at all.
Brooke Murtle - "Emotion Sick" (CLD, #3) vs Muni Long - "Made for Me" (SabrinaFan, #4) Interesting wordplay for Emotion Sick (motion sickness, dopamine/dramamime), but I don't particularly like her Triple A leaning vocals. Made for Me would feel a bit basic if it was actually released in 2000s but Muni Long's emotional delivery, particularly in the chorus, sells it well.
Jorja Smith - "Falling or flying" (jtd, #3) vs AMAKA - "Cruisin'" (woods, #4) Not particularly like the climax for Falling or flying. There was a moment where I wanted to guess the producer for Cruisin' and Kaytranada's production is so easily recognizable lol, and I think his production is the best at listening sometimes like in these games.
Yuka Kitamura & Alex Roe - "Spring ~A Journey of Water~" (Khan, #3) vs Smallpools - "Night Shift" (maine, #4) Old song alert but Spring ~A Journey of Water~ has a solid ethereal and hymnal vibe in the vein of VGM of JRPGs. Night Shift is a very generic pop rock song.
acloudyskye - "Surface" (wheatsquares33, #3) vs Zach Bryan - "Tourniquet" (Khan, #4) I think the core melody for Surface is a bit underwhelming but the instrument details are somewhat cool. Tourniquet is mid-tier for me among all songs in Zach Bryan self-titled album, but it still has the heart-wrenching factor that makes a lot of Zach Bryan songs work better than they should. Also I often forgot there is a Zach Bryan song in this Madness.

Hot Milk - "BREATHING UNDERWATER" (Au$tin, #3) vs Julia Holter - "Spinning" (MoD, #4) I thought I would not like "Spinning" but as how it progressed, I enjoyed it more. "Breathing Underwater" gave me vibes that it could be on a playlist called "Christian Beast Mode" and that was enough for me.
Bennett Coast - "Pretender" (maine, #3) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Jade Green" (recordyear, #4)

Hot Milk - "BREATHING UNDERWATER" (Au$tin, #3) (strong 6 to light 7) vs Julia Holter - "Spinning" (MoD, #4) (light to decent 8) I charted Candy Coated Lies from Hot Milk back in 2019. I've generally liked what I've heard from this band, I like the dueling vocals. Spinning is gorg though.
Bennett Coast - "Pretender" (maine, #3) (decent to strong 7) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Jade Green" (recordyear, #4) (decent to strong 7) Both of these were great! Jade Green + Cardinal have won me over on the new KM album, I think. May listen to it some time. Liked Pretender a bit more though, kinda reminds me of Band of Horses.
Baby Lasagna - "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" (Leo, #3) (light to decent 5) vs Baby Tate - "Jersey" (Hamed, #4) (decent to strong 6) Baby Lasagna vs. Baby Tate is a funny pairing. I don't love Rim Tim Tagi Dim, but I think it's a fun madness pick anyway. Sounds like Rammstein but more camp. Jersey grew on me as it went along.
Megan Thee Stallion - "Hiss" (singingrulebritannia, #3) (decent to strong 7) vs Logic1000 f/ Rochelle Jordan - "Promises" (wheatsquares33, #4) (light to decent 8) Well, I'm 5/5 for my songs making it through prelims (for the first time ever), so if I have to go down against Hiss I'm at peace with that.
Kali Uchis - "¿Cómo Así?" (wrip, #3) (light to decent 8) vs Dylan Scott - "This Town's Been Too Good To Us" (bigfan101, #4) (decent to strong 5) Revisiting so many songs from Orquideas this madness has me appreciating that album a lot more. I liked it when I listened to it, but a lot of the highlights are hitting harder with me here than the first time around. This might be my favorite song from her in this madness.
Nourished By Time - "Hell of a Ride" (Zach, #3) (light to decent 8) vs Acopia - "Disengage" (lyhom, #4) (light to decent 8) Aw. This one's tough. I submitted Quantum Suicide last madness (and it got fucked), so I wanna support Nourished by Time here (I liked his new EP too). But Disengage is actually so dope. I might actually like it a little more... But idk I'd kinda feel like a cow if I didn't support NBT here...I'm voting Disengage, sorry Zach :'(
Mohama Saz - "Ursus" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #3) (light to decent 7) vs Jade LeMac - "Grapevines" (Au$tin, #4) (light to decent 6) I ran out of time, to write a comment here, I'm just gonna vote

Hot Milk - "BREATHING UNDERWATER" (Au$tin, #3) [2.23/5] vs Julia Holter - "Spinning" (MoD, #4) [3.37/5]
- I was surprised by the high rating for "BREATHING UNDERWATER" on rym; I thought it sounded like a generic Skillet ballad, lol. I was thinking it was okay enough until the key change came in and completely destroyed any hope I had for the song. Poorly executed, and the transition from the bridge to the chorus was jarring. "Spinning" falls into the lot of songs that I think are really pretty and good but something I'd never really listen to again? I just don't have much of a use for these kind of songs even though I think they're good first listens.
Bennett Coast - "Pretender" (maine, #3) [4.21/5] vs Kacey Musgraves - "Jade Green" (recordyear, #4) [2.68/5]
- I learned of Bennett Coast through YouTube autoplay after Guster's new single. I definitely recommend checking out his music videos; he is a VERY talented filmmaker and he mainly makes music as soundtracks to his short films. I've listened to a lot of his music now, and he's definitely grown a lot as a musician and this is his best. Just a really pretty song with a good vocal and guitar. "Jade Green" is easily the worst I've heard from Kacey's new album. Really boring and sounds like it's gonna go stomp and holler or folktronica on us any second but then it doesn't, lol.
Baby Lasagna - "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" (Leo, #3) [0.77/5] vs Baby Tate - "Jersey" (Hamed, #4) [3.12/5]
- What in the Keaton is "Rim Tim Tagi Dim"??? Worst song I've heard this Madness. "Ludilo Brale" is the greatest song to come out of Croatia. "Jersey" was good, but I think I'm getting a little tired of this sound I'm these games tbh.
Megan Thee Stallion - "Hiss" (singingrulebritannia, #3) [3.88/5] vs Logic1000 f/ Rochelle Jordan - "Promises" (wheatsquares33, #4) [3.27/5]
- "HISS" goes super hard. I think this is my favorite thing Megan has ever done?? Loved this. "Promises" was nice too, but it almost falls in the same category as "Jersey".
Kali Uchis - "¿Cómo Así?" (wrip, #3) [3.77/5] vs Dylan Scott - "This Town's Been Too Good To Us" (bigfan101, #4) [1.39/5]
- I've been enjoying what I've heard from Kali this tournament, and this is my favorite so far. I like the production a lot. Dylan Scott can't sing, lifeless production, songwriting is horrible, melody is awful. Amazing effort by Dylan here but not surprised knowing his other songs. I thought we left him and this sound in the mid-to-late 10s where they belong.
Nourished By Time - "Hell of a Ride" (Zach, #3) [3.51/5] vs Acopia - "Disengage" (lyhom, #4) [3.44/5]
Mohama Saz - "Ursus" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #3) [3.50/5] vs Jade LeMac - "Grapevines" (Au$tin, #4) [2.68/5]

Baby Lasagna - "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" (Leo, #3) vs Baby Tate - "Jersey" (Hamed, #4) want to like "rim tim tagi dim" more than I do because it's such an interesting underdog in the eurovision context but I'm still at the point where a lot of the songs there sound off outside of that context lol

Hot Milk - "BREATHING UNDERWATER" (Au$tin, #3) vs Julia Holter - "Spinning" (MoD, #4)
BREATHING UNDERWATER" kind of reminds of a song from Demi Lovato's 'Holy Fvck' album. So uh, not particularly my favorite. I usually love key changes but this felt a little unnecessary. "Spinning" is pretty nice, even if it's not my among my favorites from Julia Holter (I still love "Feel You" the most).
Bennett Coast - "Pretender" (maine, #3) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Jade Green" (recordyear, #4)
"Pretender" definitely could be mistaken for a lost 2000s post-britpop hit. It's pretty nice. "Jade Green" is my second favorite from 'Deeper Well' right below "Cardinal". Very nice guitar throughout.
Baby Lasagna - "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" (Leo, #3) vs Baby Tate - "Jersey" (Hamed, #4)
I may have slightly overrated "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" when I was listening to all the Eurovision songs this year, but I still don't think it's too bad. "Jersey" has a nice hook and some nice production. Makes sense this is a Jersey club song, haha.
Megan Thee Stallion - "Hiss" (singingrulebritannia, #3) vs Logic1000 f/ Rochelle Jordan - "Promises" (wheatsquares33, #4)
"Hiss" is so, so good. It's my favorite #1 of 2024 for sure. I think about the "Megan's law" lyric a lot especially, because it's such a good bar. This song is just full of them. Insane production too. Rochelle Jordan makes consistently good music, and "Promises" is quite nice. But, there's not many songs I'd vote against "Hiss".
Kali Uchis - "¿Cómo Así?" (wrip, #3) vs Dylan Scott - "This Town's Been Too Good To Us" (bigfan101, #4)
"¿Cómo Así?" is at the top of my favorites from 'ORQUÍDEAS'. It has a really nice intro and I love how bouncy the chorus is. It's so catchy. Easy matchup here, since "This Town's Been Too Good To Us" isn't very good. Bro-country is one of my least favorite genres.
Nourished By Time - "Hell of a Ride" (Zach, #3) vs Acopia - "Disengage" (lyhom, #4)
I wish I liked Nourished By Time's music a little more, but "Hell of a Ride" is still pretty nice. "Disengage" also has a nice, chill vibe to it.
Mohama Saz - "Ursus" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #3) vs Jade LeMac - "Grapevines" (Au$tin, #4)
"Ursus" doesn't completely gravitate towards me, but I didn't mind my listen at all. "Grapevines" is kind of in the same boat, but to a lesser extent.

Hot Milk - "BREATHING UNDERWATER" (Au$tin, #3) vs Julia Holter - "Spinning" (MoD, #4)
I did not like the Hot Milk song. The vocals don't sound very good and the key change did not help. The beat on Spinning took some time to get used to but otherwise it's a lovely and surreal art pop song.
Bennett Coast - "Pretender" (maine, #3) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Jade Green" (recordyear, #4)
Both of these songs are almost 3 minutes long, have pleasant guitar melodies and vocals. I was leaning towards Pretender at first but then I was feeling Jade Green more on the second listen.
Baby Lasagna - "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" (Leo, #3) vs Baby Tate - "Jersey" (Hamed, #4)
Battle of the babies. Rim Tim Tagi Dim is a strange song and a little funny but not something I'd return to. Jersey definitely lives up to its name.
Megan Thee Stallion - "Hiss" (singingrulebritannia, #3) vs Logic1000 f/ Rochelle Jordan - "Promises" (wheatsquares33, #4)
I wish a different song was paired with Hiss. Promises may be more up my alley as a deep house/alt R&B track but I also want more out of it. I have listened to Rochelle Jordan's other recent releases so I might find something that hit hard enough for me to submit (What You Done - Late Nite Mix has come close).
Kali Uchis - "¿Cómo Así?" (wrip, #3) vs Dylan Scott - "This Town's Been Too Good To Us" (bigfan101, #4)
Oh my god, quit making me listen to Kali Uchis' album. There are too many of her songs in this tournament! Country music ain't getting enough support in this game. Pulse is just TASTELESS!! Cómo Así = TRASH This Town's Been Too Good To Us = MASTERPIECE
congrats wrip
Nourished By Time - "Hell of a Ride" (Zach, #3) vs Acopia - "Disengage" (lyhom, #4)
I wish Nourished by Time's vocals were easier on the ears on Hell of a Ride because I love the production style. (Oddly enough this wasn't much of an issue for me during Wintertime Madness) Acopia has shown up in my Discover Weekly and Disengage is a pretty pleasant listen.
Mohama Saz - "Ursus" (Dinosaur Encyclopedia, #3) vs Jade LeMac - "Grapevines" (Au$tin, #4)
I'm happy to discover music from Spain that sounds different but still appeals to me. Grapevines is a decent short pop song but not enough here.

Bennett Coast - "Pretender" (maine, #3) vs Kacey Musgraves - "Jade Green" (recordyear, #4)
Jade Green is one of the more memorable tracks from Deeper Well but also not my absolute favorite. Pretender was a nice enough discovery for me to vote for it, and Kacey is represented enough in this madness so I don’t mind voting against her.
Baby Lasagna - "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" (Leo, #3) vs Baby Tate - "Jersey" (Hamed, #4)
- Not the baby matchup
Megan Thee Stallion - "Hiss" (singingrulebritannia, #3) vs Logic1000 f/ Rochelle Jordan - "Promises" (wheatsquares33, #4)
- Promises was really nice, I just love Hiss though haha
Kali Uchis - "¿Cómo Así?" (wrip, #3) vs Dylan Scott - "This Town's Been Too Good To Us" (bigfan101, #4)
- This was the clear standout from the album for me I gotta say! The production goes hard.
Nourished By Time - "Hell of a Ride" (Zach, #3) vs Acopia - "Disengage" (lyhom, #4)
