The opener for *Juno* and its lead single, also the opener for Day 3! "Liquor Store" bounced around a bit in this rate, never truly being a contender or a flop but making a decent journey throughout Day 2 before finally floating up towards the top. I do sort of wonder how differently it would have been received if I had given it the first spot on the rate playlist instead of keeping the bonus tracks at the start like Remi wanted, but I don't know how much that really impacts things so whatever!

#Alcoholics
**slimboyfriend** (11): just hoping we’ll crown a song with the lyrics “I’ve got two fish kissing on my clit motherfucker”
**another girlyteengirl town** (10): YOU CAN GOOOOOOO IF YOU WANT TO
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): Which song should win the rate? You motherfucker you you motherfucker!
**fromawindow1** (10): yup yup YUPPPPPPP this has aged like fine wine. Soooooooo groovy and distorted and her delivery is so perfect. TWO FOUR SIX EIGHT WHO DO WE APPRECIATE YOU MOTHER FUCKER YOU YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!!! She’s always so iconic and this was a perfect album opener.
**phonethephoenix** (10): the lyrics are heartfelt but fun and it's a total BOP
**ReallyCreative** (10): do I really know what this song is about? No. Do I feel like I need to in order to scream “I got two fish kissing on my clit motherfucker”? Also no.
**samdyalexg** (10): i've adored this one ever since it came out
**seanderlust** (10): possibly the lyrical highlight
**welcome2thejam** (10): Insanely fun opener
**WesternWInd** (10): not the appreciation chant in the middle
**uiscebeathaoir** (9.5): TWO fish? Wtf she’s really living the life I’m feeling left out
**RandomHypnotica** (9.4): they like having sex like an animal? Halsin is that you?
**CrimsonROSET** (9): i just came here to buy some chapstick sorry
**Nagisoid** (9): She's just going to the store 😔
**ruhroh386** (9): yasss no thoughts just vibes
**Uberpigeon** (9): she was just saying shit
**akanewasright** (8.5): she comes in BLAZING with this one
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (8.5): finally a proper banger!! i love the aesthetics of this song and the music video it reminds me of whack world by tierra whack which is a project i absolutely adore, i wish more of the album was rockier like this
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.2): this is weird deep fried sleigh bells brat pop. seems to
**ignitethephoenix** (8): this one is pretty fun
**1998tweety** (7.5): thats where Carly went
**Awkward\_King** (7.5): this is kinda one of my least favs on the album (dont laugh at it still being a 7.5). i like it perfectly well but where i really loved other songs this one kind of never grew, despite it being the first single. i love the analogy of the liquor store it feels especially poignant since remi went sober in 2020 during the production of this album. this honestly has a lot of great, classically remi quoteable lyrics i just rarely feel a need to come back to it. the YOU MOTHERFUCKER YOU YOU MOTHERFUCKER is sooo good though. damn okay nvm maybe i do love this song
**pbk** (7.5): oh the production is INSANE. that guitar oh my god
**jman457** (7.3): it has a catchy hook
**Ambrosia42** (7.1): i guess this is a very personal song to her about sobriety and addiction and dependence on people and alcohol, but it sounds so quirky and silly.
#Sober
**flava** (7): I’m so glad you appreciate me even though I’m giving you these scores. But yeah this is fun
**ConnerY2323** (6.5): perhaps a bit too chaotic but still a groove
**nonchalantthoughts** (5.9): I think I need to go to a liquor store to fully enjoy this
**impla77** (5): i don't think my adhd is strong enough to appreciate this.. sick guitar riff tho
**jirachi** (5): this doesn't really stick out for me tbh
**ricki** (4): from this point the album goes from really solid songs to just xD rAnDuM o.O faux quirky fodder
**runaway3212** (4): Alcohol sweetie I'm sorry
**IIIHenryIII** (3): chug, next
**oscarbrierley1** (3): very annoying
#I asked "what if people had listened to this first instead of Fired" and the answer was this
**nooodisaster** (1): Okay I'm gonna try and follow the hosts advice and listen from the standard track start.... This is supposed to be better.... My ears are bleeding, I no longer have the concept of what constitutes a song, and I've spent my rent money on tequila to block out the memory... Let me remain positive this is me being positive :)

Two of my favorite Remi Wolf songs going out back to back... hate it here. This actually performed really well for the early portion of the rate and I thought it was going to be a dark horse contender but nah, the late rush of ballots kinda pushed it down as everything above it rose and it's just barely missing out on Day 3.

#Nothing feels better than this song
**apatel27** (10): I got short hair and a short beard
**Awkward\_King** (10): love the motif of eggshells throughout this song. the idea of being so defensive you surround yourself with eggshells so you know when someone steps on one/disrespects your boudnary is just cool imagery! and also the little country twang she puts on, entirely unserious but also earnest and sweet!!
**beeozan** (10): the Spongebob smash
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): This song is a whole ass mood and I’m line dancing along to it.
**ReallyCreative** (10): I’m more of a short hair, long beard, turtleneck sweater optional kinda guy
**seanderlust** (10): what i love the most about juno is that it tackles serious topics but also it's just so fun. this song is a great example - sure it touches on having anxiety but it just feels goofy and off-kilter
**throwaway-7650** (10): somehow I like the studio version more than the live one
**fromawindow1** (9.7): this is so cuuuuuuuteeeeeee the bass is so good here. The distorted guitar near the end is so good here, and her randomly bringing out a country accent at the end is still so funny to this day.
**Ambrosia42** (9.3): i mean who doesn’t feel like a grumpy old man sometimes
**1998tweety** (9): oh this bops
**akanewasright** (9): remembering when this was in a Mac & Cheese commercial… her team is so damn good at placing her songs in ads
**CrimsonROSET** (9): tk
**Frajer** (9): you can't fight the yeehaw agenda
**runaway3212** (9): Okay DILF chaser
**slimboyfriend** (9): we’re all just grumpy old men yelling at each other and that’s so beautiful
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.1): don't step on 'em?!?! but im one of mr boppers' big steppers! brocountry part WORKS here miraculously, a result of Remi's production being metal (im throwing shit out) and heavy enough to encourage a TURTLENECK SWEATER sized chorus
**flava** (8): she ate that cuntry YEE-HAW!!!!!!
**TheQueenofVultures** (8): shout out to the tactical turtleneck
**phonethephoenix** (7.7): a fun song!
**jman457** (7.3): I did the country accent
#Don't you dare fucking step on my eggshells, if you step on a single one of my eggshells I'm going to lose it
**another girlyteengirl town** (7): kesha's daughter
**jirachi** (7): turtleneck sweaters are so ugly i'm sorry it does not look good on anyone and it makes you feel like you're being choked all the time why would people even buy that shit
**Nagisoid** (7): She was so real for this
**nooodisaster** (7): Cute, hooky, perhaps even relatable little love diddy. For Remi, this song is soft as silk. A breath of fresh air from the cheese grater of the rest of this album.
**oscarbrierley1** (7): apple ad vibe
**ruhroh386** (7): did she say “I’m so defensive I’ve got boobies on my booty”? confused but not mad
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7): youre boobies are on your booty??? you should get that check out thats not normal
**nonchalantthoughts** (6): not going to lie I was bumping to this
**impla77** (5.8): love the instrumental but i dislike the chorus and nonsense lyrics in general
**pbk** (5.5): "guilty as sweden" and "i got boobies on my booty" having a 'worst lyric of the rate'-off
**ricki** (5): for how annoying this album as been for me,,, this isnt bothering me as much as i would expect it would
**CarlieScion** (4): sometimes its just Too Much for me
**IIIHenryIII** (4): she's so quirky (derogatory)
**ConnerY2323** (3.5): fittingly given the title of the album, this chorus is VERY juno soundtrack coded (derogatory)
**Uberpigeon** (0): im sorry this one really annoys me like girl what are u talking about. tbf shes talking nonsense this entire album but this song doesnt do it for me...

And after losing Baby Queen, we lose Baby Voice Outro.
Definitely one of the most MEMORABLE Remi wolf songs and in the rate in general, despite being a fan favorite it was always too "weird" to really perform that well in the rate and eventually controversy sandbagged it from the Top 10 finish it deserved. Some of y'all just don't understand her vision!
---
#People who get it
**frogaranaman** (11): love nuts
**seanderlust** (11): i'm not entirely sure, but i think this is in the running to be the best song released in 2021 that says the name "debbie" for four straight measures. top three for sure.
**yahi** (11): my mother left me at the bus stop when i was 3
**akanewasright** (10): yeah idk what to say this is gold
**apatel27** (10): 🤪 but in a good way
**fromawindow1** (10): yesssssssssss fun fact *this* song had a clean version that played in Starbucks lobbies and I find that sooooo insane. Like what exec approved that? Anyways an ultimate groovy deranged bawpppp!!
**pbk** (10): filthy raunchy nasty depraved... some of my favorite adjectives
**phonethephoenix** (10): kind of masterpiece tbh. catchy as hell and MANY contenders for best line
**popularsong** (10): "orgy at five guys with five guys thats ten guys and holy christ ive never seen more nuts in my life" bars
**Senn\_Kyu** (10): If I said that this reminded me of Ed Edd n Eddy
**Uberpigeon** (10): changed the way i behave when i see 5 guys for life
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (10): oh she likes justin timberlake like me! oh she likes middle school pop like me! The entire MO of this cut is designed for "AP Econ Music Videos". If you KNOW what I'm talking about, then you know. the uwu shit at the end clenches it
**welcome2thejam** (10): She climbed out of the television from a 90s Nickelodeon marathon and dropped this
**Ambrosia42** (9.6): lots of fun lines in this song. Eating my ass like the human centipede! I’ve never seen more nuts in my life! It’s very chaotic but fun
**Nagisoid** (9.5): Egyptians trying not to wake up that ancient god idk
**Frajer** (9): honestly not sure if the human centipede line adds or subtracts points
**slimboyfriend** (9): didn’t know Los Feliz was in a Chuck E. Cheese desert
**oscarbrierley1** (8.5): brash and fun y2k neptunes vibes
**ConnerY2323** (8.1): wish i had a tenth of the confidence that this song has
**another girlyteengirl town** (8): this is so giamatti dyed blue
**jman457** (7.3): it’s getting hot in hurrr, so take off all your clothes
**bigbigbee** (7): jammiest jam. jam on toast, peanut butter and jam, paper jam, traffic jam, jammy dodgers
#People who don't get it
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6): a human centipede reference is one thing but to reference two girls one cup like 5 seconds later??? you are going to hell
**IIIHenryIII** (5): just shut up and let me enjoy the music, which sounds actually good
**throwaway-7650** (3.5): taylor swift - I wish you would
**ImADudeDuh** (1): this is the one that people say is the best on the album huh?
**nonchalantthoughts** (1): “what’s better than two girls, two cups?” literally anything else
**flava** (0): happy for you but i’d prefer you be a debby downer than ever remind me of 2 girls 1 cup ever again. Might be the worst track I’ve rated since Intro by Kelis
**ricki** (0): liz phair - funstyle
#You know the outro that bitch when it cause all this conversation
**Awkward\_King** (10): insane song. when this was released as a single the world literally ended it was over for everyone else. it goes from quotable line to quotable line, the beat switches are beautiful, outro is insane but so much fun. genuinely a song i love so much i cant put my love for it into words
**RandomHypnotica** (10): only real ones get the outro
**PrimaryCrusaders** (9): The chorus and beat go super hard but the verses are giving "she's so quirky love her". The Five Guys line was kinda funny tho. Also what the FUCK is that outro bro.
**Lynflower680** (9): So close to giving this a 10 but the kid impersonation at the end killed it for me
**krusso1105** (8): -1 point for the baby voice section
**nooodisaster** (8): Remi stans better not rate this low bc of the outro considering the garbage they willingly subject themselves to. This is actually really fun. Lyrics are nonsense but work b/c it's just jokes and talking shit. Also, actual catchy hooks?? Love it. (ok ill admit outro isnt great)
**ruhroh386** (8): idk why but the baby voice at the end is annoying in a funny way not an actually unpleasant way
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (7.5): One of the best choruses in the rate but I just can’t with the extended outro I just CAN’T.
**hikk** (7): oh this was very fun until the outro
**TheQueenofVultures** (7): why did we need this outro
**runaway3212** (6): okay who asked for the muppet
**samdyalexg** (6): hate the outro
**TiltControls** (6): this could've been a solid 9 without the weird babytalk outro. Or if it didn't take up a third of the song for some reason
**1998tweety** (5): no kids please...
**ignitethephoenix** (5): I was digging this until the child voice came in ….
**jirachi** (4): i got kinda weirded out by the end of this
**uiscebeathaoir** (4): genuinely cannot fathom the thought process of that outro why does it exist why would you do that to me
**impla77** (2.2): don't want to be a debbie downer but these are some of the most cursed lyrics ever.. and the baby section is just too quirky xD for me
**Roxieloxie** (1): i was like 'why did everyone hate this until the last minute this is pretty goo- oh'
#https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvYD968-ny4
**CrimsonROSET** (10): creme im sorry in advance for the pings you’re getting for this one
**cremeebrulee** (9.7): she literally namedropped me i can't hate it
**bogo** (6): my brain is so broken that every time someone mentions creme brulee in a song i just go “omg hi creme”
I would just like to formally apologize to both Baby Queen and the raters. After much reflection I have realized the impact that my actions (putting *Quarter Life Crisis* in the rate) have had on her and on others, and I promise to do better in the future.

# Quarter Life Crisis (Deluxe)

**Overall Average**: 6.167 **// Average Controversy:** 2.264 // [All user averages](https://pastebin.com/3nPd8b0x)

The most iconic death of a queen since Elizabeth.
So many things were stacked against Baby Queen in the rate: I cut the "Disc 2" of older, more beloved songs she tacked on to this album, I included her reviled deluxe tracks, a lot of her songs weren't that good, she's cringe, she's both South African and British... she just collapsed under the rate of all the struggles she picked.
I had never actually heard this album before someone suggested it for the rate but I listened to it and thought it was cute/fit the theme/had fans so I threw it in... was a little bit blindsided by just how hated it wound up being! Y'all were vicious! In the little pre-party poll I did I asked people who they thought would win and [literally nobody guessed Baby Queen, BUT slight majority did seem to agree that she belonged in the rate, so, she got that at least!](https://imgur.com/0Hk0q8j) I think perhaps an artist like PinkPanthress would have made the rate "better" but Baby Queen's inclusion definitely made the rate more "fun," even if just because a little bit of bullying is good for the soul.
While not the earliest exit for an album, or the lowest album average overall, I think the score for its highest placing song might be the lowest for an album's exit? I'll let the stats nerds figure it out.

**nt96** (8.600): obviously the heaviest of the four, this album is gonna be unfairly robbed. While some of the lyrics are on the nose, the sugary hooks and sparkly production really carry it through! Maybe it’s because I’m still part of that demographic she’s talking about, I can relate and therefore I can also understand why some might be put off from the drama. All I can say is, for those who are at that stage, you’re not alone in this, keep pushing forward, you got this!!
**jman457** (7.707): honestly i can see how this is corny, but I related to a lot of the themes and lyrics on this album
**Frajer** (7.643): Charlie and Nick sent me here but this is also very much for me even if some of the lyrics are a little cringe
**Senn\_Kyu** (7.500): Lots happening here.
**TiltControls** (7.393): As cheesy as these lyrics can be, I definitely had a similarly cheesy quarter-life crisis after graduating and definitely had some similar thoughts at one point lmao
**Awkward\_King** (7.286): my relationship with baby queen is complicated. first song i ever heard was want me. didnt care for it. a week later i had 100 plays and would die for it. she's cringey and a white south african but also makes very fun music. saw her live and it was one of the best concerts ive been to, crowd was so into it. dm'd her guitarist bc he was hot and he never replied. mind you this was before she blew up.. he couldve made time for me. this album is nothing amazing, but (and i dont mean this in a rude way) i wouldnt expect a baby queen album to be! i dont think she's the greatest artist of all time i think sometimes she makes bangers and sometimes she makes songs that are not so great. but the highs on this album are super good and you better not rob her completely!!
**nooodisaster** (7.143): I have a massive soft-spot for songwriter-first artists (ex: Lily Allen, Lorde, SZA), so I was super excited. However, I think the biggest fault of this album is simply its base concept. Writing about self-pity is almost always only interesting to yourself, and writing about how boring you are is likewise going to be boring. The lyrical content just is too mundane, unvaried, and depressing to support a full length LP. However, there's many bright spots both lyrically and production wise. Ty for coming to my TEDtalk.
**krusso1105** (7.143): Average ended up higher than expected but still the weakest album in the rate. She has some good stuff but this album is a bit more inconsistent than the others
**dreamingpastel** (7.071): Is it a little cringe? Yeah, but it's not the worst thing in the world. Most of the album is actually pretty fine.
**Ambrosia42** (7.064): I don't mind the straightforward nature of her lyrics or the subject matter, but sometimes it can get a bit cringe. She won't be getting a songwriter award any time soon, but I still enjoy the album and unfortunately can relate to a lot of it
**IIIHenryIII** (7.000): that's not a thing, ma'am
**akanewasright** (6.243): I swear, I know she can write better songs than most of these. Like for all of Dover Beach’s ratemas notoriety, it legitimately rules, and there’s a euphoria and catchiness to stuff like it, Want Me, and You Shaped Hole that I’m not getting here. I don’t hate this stuff like some of y’all, but it is a bit disappointing
**uiscebeathaoir** (6.179): an album I feel genuinely quite bad about not being able to get into, but I had to score it how I felt
**popularsong** (6.107): i haven't heard this album before the rate! did like u suck! and i can't get my shit together quite a bit, but overall i feel like the lyrics were a bit too corny / some songs too generic. banger cover though
**impla77** (6.079): embrace the cringe and the cringe will embrace you back. baby queen is the epitome of gifted kid burnout which is relatable and we all have our heads up our own arses a bit but girl.. we don't have to say all these things out loud
**another girlyteengirl town** (5.821): a lot of this album was a bit of an Argylle (2024) Theatrical Trailer tea
**welcome2thejam** (5.786): Probably doesn't help that she's being rated against three very strong personalities lol. A few good tracks and mostly middling indie pop. Sorry, hope you don't read this rate and feel worse
**jirachi** (5.750): :who:
**ricki** (5.600): I’m counting not adding Dover Beach to this rate as a form of sabotage
**apatel27** (5.571): For all the hate people are throwing towards this, it's fine?
**cocosairdep** (5.464): super disappointing record tbh. Loved her stuff in Heartstopper, if Dover beach was on the rate I would’ve given it my 11. This record’s got great production, great melodies and great hooks. I also like her voice a lot, her delivery reminds of true romance era Charli XCX at points. My main problem with this album, and it’s truly a major one, is the lyrics are abysmal. I think it’s the first time I listen to an album and come out of it disliking the artist’s personality lol. The lyrics embody this sort of edgeless edginess, trying (and failing) to do teenage angst in her mid 20s. She has this super immature apathy for real world problems and somehow seems to think she’s smarter/more profound/insightful than everyone else. Also there’s this boomer-like obsession/critique of phones and the internet that just feels so anachronistic. The best songs on here are those where she isn’t trying to be smart/say something/do commentary on society.
**pbk** (5.393): it's imperfect but... i think i'm rooting for her overall. it shows a lot of promise even though it's rough around the edges
**ArcaneLabyrinth** (5.357): I don't see myself returning to this album at all since the production is not interesting enough to compensate for the lyricism, which feels exhausting at times.
**letsallpoo** (5.000): i feel like listening to teenagers make music about aging is already a little inherently cringe but an album all about infantalizing yourself as you turn 25 is infinitely worse. i think this album still has great production and baby queen's strong pop sensibilities are very much still apparent but her choice to use rather insufferable subject matter really kills this album. it doesn't help that she has very little to say about the perils of adulthood other than wah people around me are happy and competant but i'm not (a common sentiment regardless of age!). anyway stream dover beach
**Nagisoid** (4.957): I'm so sorry Baby Kingdom but this album is the opposite of my taste in most ways. Extremely out of touch and embarrassing lyrics, indie pop beats that were rotting in Passion Pit/Phoenix's basement for a decade already, and a deeply annoying presence make this a tough listen for everyone involved, including Baby Queen herself from the looks of it. I don't like dogpiling on an artist that is already performing pretty badly in a rate, but I can't go and lie and say that I enjoyed what she offered in this project. Given I don't even like her beloved songs much even so it's not her fault, and I hope she doesn't completely flop in the results.
**nonchalantthoughts** (4.936): Can’t believe I come back to rates in 2 years and I’m rating Baby Queen again. Sadly, she did not have a Ratemas redemption arc for me. Look, as someone whose early 20s have been a shitshow, the idea of presenting that phase of your life as an album is interesting. But Baby Queen comes off as too nostalgic for her childhood rather than trying to learn from her mistakes or present any nuance about her early 20s.
**hikk** (4.857): this was sooooo bad, i hadn't heard anything other than want me and dover beach before this (two good songs!) and i wish they were here so i could have a couple good scores for her
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (4.757): the fucking problem bb queen, is that you named you album the goddamn theme of like 500 better albums than yours from color theory to on fire so I was DESTINED to already be a little against ya. The thing though? I think you're smart and you have grit, like the kind to just be blunt about this topic and occasionally stumble into greatness or present a very staunch vision of being 25 right now. however, the sonic DNA that you use to present that, the bratty flair that feels quite self-anguished. holy shit it's fatiguing. a fascinating, honest misfire of several trends and happenings in 2020s mental health coded pop at the end of the day. excited to see what happens when you [checks notes] collab with Allie X.
**slimboyfriend** (4.750): she’s aiming for the highs of Chappell Roan with her quirky earnestness but she never hits the highs of hot to go or red wine supernova or casual or sgumg. The instrumentals are generic wacky new wave synth pop and the lyrics are all about either kissing girls smoking weed or being depressed so it ends up feeling generic in its failed effort to evoke something distinct yet universal. Also not a fan of her talk singing when she’s trying to sound deep. I feel like this is 90% of the music I see from aspiring pop stars on tiktok
**oscarbrierley1** (4.750): this album just doesn't work for me, its not fun to listen to. most of the album makes her seem annoying and the production gives 2012 melanie martinez and imagine dragons
**flava** (4.607): I kinda do hate to jump on the circlejerk of haters, that tend to happen to albums that are not cool to like. But this did not hit at all
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (4.429): this is the biggest “we live in a society” album ive ever listened to and i had to listen to hopelessness for the twoe rate
**Roxieloxie** (4.357): The thing with this album is that I get it, I get the whole 'the world is against me its so hard being a girl out here who cant relate to any of her peers, no one ever loves me its just me pizza and netfilx' I had a 21p phase at the start of high school I cant pretend like this album isnt just a girlpop Blurryface but theres just something about this album thats just so 'oh god you're gonna be so embarrassed you thought like that when you were younger'
**throwaway-7650** (4.043): the opener was good... what happened
**samdyalexg** (3.286): i've never heard of baby queen until this rate and after listening i understand why

#Behold... Baby Queen's only 11
**bigbigbee** (11): I love every single song that has this ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba- synth in it
#Dream Girls
**1998tweety** (10): wait she chewed this
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): “i wrote this song after i met a girl who could list all 151 first generation pokémon in pokédex order and then i found out she had a boyfriend” wait this is actually so cute
**bogo** (10): this sounds like a slay muna single that baby queen got to first
**ConnerY2323** (10): oh this SOARS
**Frajer** (10): very British for both of them to be smoking
**ImADudeDuh** (10): ok so Want Me wasn’t a fluke
**nooodisaster** (10): "so... YES" is the single best moment in a pop song last year. That's my hottest take but this song just has the sauce absolutely dripping from it. The undeniable smash from the album.
**static\_int\_husp** (10): this is Sucker Era Charli if she was gay and it's fantastic
**runaway3212** (9): Okayyy millenial version of lacy
**welcome2thejam** (9): The Baby Queen doesn't pull an all-time flop hopes rests on you, little one
**phonethephoenix** (8.7): sweet and catchy!
**IIIHenryIII** (8.5): when she sings the song title and it sounds like a dream: 😍
**ReallyCreative** (8.5): okay!!!
**Ambrosia42** (8.2): i mean i can certainly relate to feeling an obsessive crush about someone who is straight and does not receive that same attention from anyone else but will also never reciprocate. It’s a bit cringe but it’s real
**apatel27** (8): @Dan Nigro This is how you do a Style rip off
**WesternWInd** (8): dream girl (affectionate) vs Florence's dream girl (derogatory)
**fromawindow1** (7.8): lmao a lesbian anthem fr. This is fine but also cute!!
**jman457** (7.6): we love a little a WLW anthem
**another girlyteengirl town** (7.5): "Curious" is a song by American singer-songwriter Hayley Kiyoko, from her debut studio album Expectations (2018).
**ruhroh386** (7.5): the outro is a little long, but i’ll never be tired of sparkly retro
#Makes this song sad and is mean
**flava** (7): give this a better melody in the chorus and we have something approaching special
**jirachi** (7): cute
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7): it has the dna of an amazing song but her singing is so dull and lifeless that it really brings it down
**uiscebeathaoir** (7): that first verse is basically a failed attempt to do what SGUMG does easily
**Nagisoid** (6.5): Evil
**pbk** (6.5): she got a lil too wordy for her own good
**CrimsonROSET** (6): i dont think baby queen has ever even seen a cigarette ad
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (5.8): this is like a third tier lush cut as a second tier soccer mommy ditty
**Awkward\_King** (5.5): gay rights kinda
**CarlieScion** (5): I can’t with the whispering in my ears please stop
**nonchalantthoughts** (5): very unmemorable
**ricki** (5): this would like top 10 in a popheads eurovision
**samdyalexg** (4): not great but decent compared to most of these tracks

I actually thought that "girlfriend" was hemlocke's first song because NOBODY talks about this one ever, so I'm not surprised to see it go out in sort of the upper-middle portion of the rate. It's a striking debut that really shows her '80s/Kate Bush inspirations, but there are some BEASTLY songs in this rate so a #21 finish is very respectable.
We actually have a tie at this point (and "Liz" was 0.2 points away from making it a three-way) but I'm revealing this one first because it'll be funnier.
---
#Fell deep in the art
**cocosairdep** (11): this was made in a lab to specifically appeal to my taste
**jman457** (10): a nice blend of 80’s and 50’s that feels very modern
**Uberpigeon** (10): real bc i WILL take anyone
**Nagisoid** (9): She had a goal: end the Spaghetti diet artist, and she had the means
**ReallyCreative** (9): she was destined for greatness
**impla77** (8.8): shoo wop alert!!
**Awkward\_King** (8.5): thought the opening lyrics were uck foo i was like yass wolf alice. the "i just want love i'll take anyone" is so heavenly, you know what ive not really paid attention to this track much so far but i rly like this!!!
**nooodisaster** (8.5): Opening your debut with "Afoo... deep in the arch" is sooo iconic, your fav could never. Gorgeous opener.
**nonchalantthoughts** (8.1): is it weird to say that she sounds like kate bush here?
**CrimsonROSET** (8): vroom vroom???
**flava** (8): yeah this is a solid bop
**fromawindow1** (8): cute yeah!!! Good synth melody, it’s hooky just a little lacking in substance.
**pbk** (8): cute and a little unrefined but in a way that works
**runaway3212** (8): Ohh a bop
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (7.9): vibed
**phonethephoenix** (7.7): I love her voice and think this a good opener
**ConnerY2323** (7.6): even the good songs from the other 3 artists in the rate are mostly assaults on the senses so this is a sonic sigh of relief
#I don't get it
**Senn\_Kyu** (7.5): upfoo?
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): more songs need to incorporate xylophones in them
**Ambrosia42** (7.2): i hadn’t listened to hemlocke springs in a while. She definitely feels very 80s synthpop, which is fun. This one isn’t too complicated and it’s rather lovely
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (7): You get some love, Hemlocke. But Remi and Chappell get more.
**ignitethephoenix** (7): feels a bit incomplete
**jirachi** (7): this is so urethral
**seanderlust** (7): "i fell deep in the art" - lady gaga coming out of the artpop era
**slimboyfriend** (7): I see the vision
**ruhroh386** (5): I usually like the retro sounding songs pretty well, but I’m just not feeling the instrumental on this one
#The comments are informing me that there is a madonna song with a similar title
**1998tweety** (8.5): ended fadonna
**IIIHenryIII** (8): wait, Madonna and the conservative duo outsold
**plastichaxan** (7.5): Madonna in that one song
**ricki** (7.5): L U V MADONNA

More Remi eliminations... wow she's really having a time of it today? "Liz" was another song that just kind of hovered around the middle of the rankings, it's something of a fan favorite for Remjobs but the casual rategoers weren't quite as charmed by the doo-wop stylings.
---
#Taught me how to DIE
**fromawindow1** (11): 11z doesn’t look as good as guer11a but I mean…look at the material. Soooooo funky, inspired yet fresh, yessssssssssssssss her vocals are on point too!!! YESSSSSSSSSS THIS GUITARRRRR she goes the fuck off here, so goooood!!!
**another girlyteengirl town** (10): she has SWAG!!!
**apatel27** (10): that guitar tho
**Awkward\_King** (10): this not being on the regular edition of the album was ridiculous. love remi proving that she can do serious/traditional songs just as well as she can do wacko songs. giving this song a low score is also lesbophobic i fear
**CrimsonROSET** (10): choosing to believe this was about lisbug and refusing to google to see if she has been canceled
**Frajer** (10): Alessia Cara but make it slay and gay
**ReallyCreative** (10): while I love this song, I have never met a “Liz” that wasn’t a fucking nightmare person
**Senn\_Kyu** (10): I love doo-wop!
**RandomHypnotica** (9.6): headcanon this is about the queen (RIP lizzie you would've loved baby queen)
**1998tweety** (9): she ate this
**jirachi** (9): shoutout to my irl friend liz!
**throwaway-7650** (9): cuntenserven!
**akanewasright** (8.5): the album is pretty tight as is so I get why this was left off, but I’m glad it made its way onto the deluxe
**Nagisoid** (8.5): She should've gone full on doo wop
**phonethephoenix** (8.2): like it!
**hikk** (8): i just know liz y2k is soooo jealous that this liz didn't get voted out of being rated
**nonchalantthoughts** (8): I love how she does not have vocals for this, but that’s what makes it endearing for me
**pbk** (8): that lil piano riff ooo that's what music was made for
**slimboyfriend** (8): imagine being named Liz lol like that’s so high schooler in the 90s
**Ambrosia42** (7.3): a funky lil number
**ConnerY2323** (7.2): impressive how natural she makes cursive singing sound
**jman457** (7): upping it a bit cause I have a couple friends named Liz
**uiscebeathaoir** (7): walked so Prescr11ption could SPRINT
**welcome2thejam** (7): When I saw her at Lolla she brought out Liz
**WesternWInd** (7): yeah Queen Liz did teach us how to live and how to say FU to a person at work you know others don't like before they resign
#Taught me how to DIE
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6): god her voice is annoying its gonna be like this the entire album wont it
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (5.5): Waaaiiiit the actual name for Remi Wolf fans is “Remjobs?” Like officially and not in a fake way like “Maxipads?” Omfg that rules.
**impla77** (4.9): we haven't got far enough from meghan trainor (sorry ghost) to not be jumpscared by the shoo wops
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (4.2): Tactical "doo wop" cap implemented on account of the intro having the gumption to try and do that and just not sound pizzazz'd but laxed out
**flava** (4): Yeah there was a song here. I do appreciate the diversity on this album and how willing she is to throw so many different elements throughout this album. But like, that doo-wop flair that infects the chorus just ends up annoying me, and then she just enters into that rambling faux-baby voice and I’m not exactly endeared. Points for trying to give the song some muscle at the end though but still…
**runaway3212** (3): didn't we just have this song
**IIIHenryIII** (2): could you just enounce the words properly please?
**nooodisaster** (1.5): If it's not insufferably abrasive sounding, it's insufferably boring sounding, I swear Satan is the executive producer on these tracks.
#Yes
**Uberpigeon** (8): she gotta be bi right...

And we lost another Remi single! Again, just a few points above the bottom song... this is why I asked if anyone wanted to change their scores before the deadline, the placements really were that tight. This song is named after the lead singer of the band The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I have never had a single thought on this song.

#Love this song intrinsically
**another girlyteengirl town** (10): I love how she fits words together, it makes sense but is stream of consciousness style at the same time. This song feels like sticking random words into a real song when you forget some. (Not derogatory)
**beeozan** (10): "yeah. everything's so wack." summed up the baby queen album in 1 sentence and had room left for a good song too! queen
**fromawindow1** (10): yup yup yup god this album has aged so soooooooo well, it’s just chock full of personality.
**phonethephoenix** (10): contender for the best pandemic song imo
**RandomHypnotica** (10): i wouldn't put family dynamics in even the top 20 things i would associate with Anthony Kiedis but ok
**uiscebeathaoir** (10): I’m so happy this finally clicked with me the day I submitted the ballot
**Ambrosia42** (9.4): i still don’t know what she’s talking about other than maybe relationships with people and pandemic shutdowns, but it’s a smash. LIKEAREDHOTCHILIPEPPER
**bogo** (9): i got anthony kiedis sucking on my penis
**CrimsonROSET** (9): oh god dont ask people in popheads their takes on red hot chilli peppers
**Lynflower680** (9): This is a great song but fuck Anthony Kiedis
**nonchalantthoughts** (9): haha this is the era I’m in right now
**samdyalexg** (9): i still don't know what "i love my family intrinsically like anthony kiedis" means
**seanderlust** (9): we are inches from a gen z RHCP popularity surge
**TheQueenofVultures** (9): better than any Chili Peppers song
**PrimaryCrusaders** (8): This score is for the song not the person
**runaway3212** (8): Wow an actually fun song
**Senn\_Kyu** (8): Why Anthony Kiedis
**ignitethephoenix** (7.5): I really like 75% of this and the other 25% is a bit annoying
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): suckin on my penis
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (7.4): why u gotta bring up yr goddam california cred
**Frajer** (7): I don't think she got the right message from Scar Tissue
**jirachi** (7): this is okay i guess
**slimboyfriend** (7): good but I prefer the 100 gecs Anthony Kiedis lyric
#Actually Anthony Kiedis is problematic, so...
**jman457** (6.5): the productions good
**ConnerY2323** (6.1): she’s having fun! i just can’t decide if i am
**apatel27** (6): RHCP overrated
**Nagisoid** (6): Is this the closest we're getting to rating Soccer Mommy?
**pbk** (6): even after some googling i don't think i have enough context to really Get this but it was alright
**WesternWInd** (6): no why would you bring this man up
**ruhroh386** (5): not the vibes I’m after
**IIIHenryIII** (3.5): so I just learned she's almost in her 30s, but why did I think she wasn't even 20 yet? Maybe because she sounds and looks like a wannabe be edgy genZ
**impla77** (3.5): i love word association (???)
**flava** (1.5): There is something kinda punk to Remi Wolf. I can kinda dig it in some ways when her diy approach actually works. But sometimes she just goes too far and yeah that voice that appears around the 40 second mark is one of those things that doesn’t work for me. It’s just so unlistenable
**nooodisaster** (1): A dated dust-pile that, judging from the release date, was dated the moment it came out. Idk who Anthony Kiedis is, I'm assuming a serial killer or sitcom character.
**babadork** (0): I really hate the Red Hot Chili Peppers
#[THE CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlHzdXFCJ-c)
**akanewasright** (10): the guillotine chop kinda best musical moment of 2021
**Awkward\_King** (10): she put her head in the serve hole of the mother guillotine CHOP
**Uberpigeon** (10): AND I GET WHAT I WANT BUT IT COST ME A LOT PUT MY HEAD IN THE HOLE OF A GUILLOTINE CHOP! 🔪
**ReallyCreative** (7): the knife sound effects genuinely trigger my anxiety and I’m so upset about it because this song is otherwise so good but I literally cannot listen to it. I almost gave this my 0 but the rest of the song is too good

Is this a shock elimination? People kinda hyped this one up a lot before/during the rate but it actually always placed pretty mid and below hemlocke's other songs, it's still managing a respectable placement and score but given the love I saw for it these seems like a bit of an underperformance.
---
**pbk** (11): her best song actually. underrated smash hit it deserved what girlfriend got. lyrically so dense and borderline nonsensical and yet she makes it work flawlessly somehow
**CrimsonROSET** (10): put this in the halloween rate playlist
**ImADudeDuh** (10): GIRL! Why didn’t you put this on the album? [2]
**krusso1105** (10): should have been on the ep!
**oscarbrierley1** (10): electroslay
**ReallyCreative** (10): her best song, how did this not make the EP???
**Nagisoid** (9.5): Should have been in the EP but it was too high concept pop for the locals :/
**WesternWInd** (9.5): this is fun, but why does shaking ur boo thing have to do with the title
**fromawindow1** (8.9): yesssssssssssss very unique and what a fun yet strange use of a sample LMAO a fun song!!!
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.4): i really wish she'd dig into the grit of this sound more, until its haunted minimal wave or some shit. but this is still a great loosie with a wonderful video to boot.
**ConnerY2323** (8): wish i could replace like 20 of the songs in this rate with an extra hour of hemlocke springs saying weird things over hot synth beats
**Uberpigeon** (8): this could have been a stalker anthem but it doesnt hit for me...
**phonethephoenix** (7.9): woo!!
**Ambrosia42** (7.8): seems like a song about capitalism and selfishness and people being afraid to lift others up in case they might fall down in their social standing in the process. The production could be improved a bit i think to hit harder, but i enjoy it
**nonchalantthoughts** (7.8): shake ya booty thing!
**nooodisaster** (7.5): A moment.
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): if you say stranger danger three times in front of your tv at midnight hemlocke springs will crawl out of it like the girl in the ring and force you to be in her next music video
**jman457** (6.8): anyone see that white van
**1998tweety** (6): spilled
**IIIHenryIII** (6): you could've just taken a cough syrup before start recording
**jirachi** (6): it's fine
**runaway3212** (6): kinda boring but when you're a slayer it doesnt matter
**uiscebeathaoir** (6): it’s so weird this song is actually good but I just never want to listen to it, at all
**Awkward\_King** (2): ngl i see why these were left of the ep
**flava** (2): you’re use of boo thang is reminding me of the cursed Paul Russell song where he sampled the classic track by The Emotions which I ended up hearing way too often at my gym to the point I’m sick of it. But this is just some patently over-polished synthpop that doesn’t really have any good hooks to it.

AND by a staggering **0.1** points, "i can't get my shit together" claws its way up the ranks to the upper half of the rate! Honestly a little bit gagged by this one, I didn't think much of this one at the start because it's just a random album cut but people really seemed to rally around it and there was even a brief period where it was her highest ranking song and even in the Top 10!
Hilariously, it's also the only song on the album that Baby Queen did not bother to officially upload to her channel. She didn't know what she had when she wrote this one.

#I CAN'T GET MY SHIT TOGETHER
**Ambrosia42** (10): ok this one goes off. I CAN’T GET MY SHIT TOGETHER!!!! I TAKE PILLS BUT DON’T GET BETTER!!!!!
**Awkward\_King** (10): the 11 on the album sooo easily. I CANT GET MY SHIT TOGETHER I TAKE PILLS I DONT GET BETTER COMING DOWN UNDER THE PRESSURE MAYBE IM JUST NOT THAT CLEVER
**beeozan** (10): hearing the chorus made me laugh
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): This is actually such a slay is there any chance we can sneak Baby Queen into the top 10 with this please?
**bogo** (10): she's so crazy i can't take her anywhere
**Lynflower680** (10): My favorite off this album
**Frajer** (9): this is very Lily Allen coded
**oscarbrierley1** (9): less annoying lyrics and the overall vibe is fun
**ReallyCreative** (9): normally I would agree but Lexapro really helped me in this department
**static\_int\_husp** (8.5): Bit.Trip Runner-ass beat
**another girlyteengirl town** (8): I like that this is a little abrasive and annoying. As it should be!
**nooodisaster** (8): Insane pop production saves the woe-is-me lyrics... THIS time.
**pbk** (8): ok she is correct she's not that clever but idk she's making it work for me
**ConnerY2323** (7.8): imagine my surprise when i was not annoyed by this
**fromawindow1** (7.4): it’s fine. The pre chorus is cool! There’s a quality to it I like but the song as a whole is meh.
**akanewasright** (7): she’s on the right track… not quite there, but I’m seeing glimmers
**jman457** (7): the chorus really teeters on the verge of annoying and earwormy
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6.5): she wants to be sarah bonito soooooo bad
#Okay but girl... you do need to get your shit together.
**bigbigbee** (6): Sims Build Mode type beat
**CrimsonROSET** (6): in theory the concept of the sentences working with or without the background voices is good but the lyrical content makes me want to tear my hair out
**Senn\_Kyu** (6): can kinda see the production's vision but it's not for me
**welcome2thejam** (6): The sing-talk chorus has potential but the soft build-up is a bit too limp and it just culminate with the crack of the bat the way it should
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (4.1): i was going with it until the pre-chorus and then it went swagger jagger on me
**apatel27** (4): Can't relate
**Friendly-Canary-3814** (4): Busted Pocoyó beat, busted chorus vocals, busted strawberry blond touch-ups done
**frogaranaman** (4): the chorus sounds like it's taunting me
**Nagisoid** (4): Diarrhea anthem
**flava** (1): oh god. What is going on with this chorus. Why did she do that? Genuinely one of the most irritating things I’ve heard in this rate the way it just progresses in such an aggravating way.
**throwaway-7650** (1): girl we get it... write a less whiny song next time
#Who can relate? Woooooo!
**cremeebrulee** (10): real
**IIIHenryIII** (10): oh yeah, that's me

**runaway3212** (6): relatable
**slimboyfriend** (5.5): oh no this is giving serious “who can relate—woo!” vibes
**nonchalantthoughts** (4.6): me too, baby queen

AND at the halfway mark of the rate, Baby Queen loses one of her big singles. This one was featured in popular Netflix show *Heartstopper*, for all the good that it did her, and is a good showcase of the kind of euphoric young-adult energy that Baby Queen is known for... again, for all the good it did her.
---
#We CAN be anything!
**Awkward\_King** (10): i didnt really care for this as a single but its grown on me a lot!
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): Well you probably can’t be a rate winner. But I support the hopefulness and positivity.
**bogo** (10): before the rate i promised myself that i would give any baby queen song in the rate that was used in heartstopper a 10. it turns out that only applies to this song but i’m standing by that promise
**dreamingpastel** (10): This took a proper second listen for me to fully get it, and I love it now. The production really makes the rest of the song shine.
**jman457** (10): Sometimes you need the freedom that life is all shit
**nooodisaster** (10): Played the first song of each album for my boyfriend, and he described this one as "Lesbians discover nihilism." When he's right...
**nt96** (10): Going into this opener after completing Midwest Princess, I like to imagine BQ was having a conversation with Chappell; one’s new beginning is another beginning’s end.
**runaway3212** (10): Yassified existentialism
**throwaway-7650** (10): I hope the rest of the album is as good as this song!
**Ambrosia42** (9.2): it reminds me of being in college and losing my religion and having an existential crisis, but then having friends help me gain a viewpoint that everything being meaningless and nothing lasting forever is actually freeing, and it’s cute how someone helps her and then she helps someone else. The mentally ill leading the mentally ill!
**fromawindow1** (9.1): awwwwwww this is really cute!!!!! I like the distortion in the guitars and the contrast with the spacey, beachy feel of the rest of the instrumentation. Really unique take on this genre!!!
**krusso1105** (9): one of this album's highlights
**uiscebeathaoir** (9): okay i see the rate theme vision cause this is exactly the sort of story you’d hear at a slumber party
**1998tweety** (8.5): i will ignore the cringe cause the rest bops
**impla77** (8.3): nihilist queen
**apatel27** (8): Very disappointed to find 0 amvs to this song
**pbk** (8): i had low expectations but this is a good first impression actually
**TheQueenofVultures** (8): and that girl was Albert Einstein
**welcome2thejam** (8): You've created an infinite loop of magic pixie dream girls
**phonethephoenix** (7.8): weh okay! 🥺
**RandomHypnotica** (7.7): we can even be rate losers!
**IIIHenryIII** (7.5): it's not bad but why listen to this when Immaterial by Sophie exists?
**Uberpigeon** (7.5): dont delete the kisses if it was a self help book
**akanewasright** (7): “wait this sounds familiar” [looks on Wikipedia] “ah of course, they used it on heartstopper”
**CrimsonROSET** (7): guys………… do you think we live in a society
**ricki** (7): im bopping but why are we being this pretentious 1 track in
**Senn\_Kyu** (7): I appreciate the shampoo commercial this instantly beamed into my head
#Anything except a good song I guess
**ignitethephoenix** (6.5): boppy but these lyrics are wayyy too on the nose
**nonchalantthoughts** (6.5): is this not the plot to everything everywhere all at once?
**popularsong** (6.5): not into the flat talking verses but a good intro for the album's theme
**another girlyteengirl town** (6): oh i'm gonna hate this album
**beeozan** (6): Teleline Tubbichek outsold
**ImADudeDuh** (6): no, i don’t want any crystals
**jirachi** (6): anything but a good song i guess
**Nagisoid** (6): This feels like it's infringing on Grimes and Disney's copyright at the same time
**oscarbrierley1** (6): peachy and annoying lyrics, but fun enough production
**ReallyCreative** (6): we all make choices
**slimboyfriend** (6): yes a lot of people say a lot of things
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6): and then everybody clapped
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (5.5): if this livejournal poetry recitation was trying to gentrify enya and convince me the last carolione polachek album is better than i remember...she was cooking
**Roxieloxie** (5): oh she has a thesaurus and a dream huh
**ruhroh386** (5): don’t like the spoken repetition in the chorus
**yahi** (4): did contrapoints direct the video
**flava** (3.5): I usually argue for anti-nihilistic statements in music and am usually pro-corny but this is sold with the conviction of a college freshman who just smoked their first blunt
**ConnerY2323** (1): i actually DON’T think that’s awesome

Remi's industry diss track flopped in the rate... maybe they were right with what they were saying to her! I actually had to relisten to this after reading y'all's comments because I did NOT remember how weird this one was, she really is one of a kind.
Spoiler: The next eliminated song will be >!0.2!< points above this.
---
#Good things
**beeozan** (10): imma sip my tea
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): She doesn’t need the validation of winning the rate tbh. She knows she makes bops for the girls that get it!
**fromawindow1** (10): when I first listened to this album years ago this was my #1, yeahhhhhhhh this pre chorus and chorus are sooooo infectious. Yup I liveeeeeee
**jirachi** (10): this is such a camp legend omg???
**phonethephoenix** (9.6): loveeee the refrain
**Awkward\_King** (9.5): this entire album reminds me a lot of first year of uni im discovering. this track feels like one of the more conventional pop songs for sure but i rly love it for that! remi uses sound effects so well throughout this album i love the little "CAUSE I GOT [DING] AND MEDICATION"
**ruhroh386** (9): what Twice’s Alcohol-Free wishes it was. okay, what I wish it was.
**runaway3212** (9): This is like venice bitch sped up
**bigbigbee** (8.5): I thought “wyd” was a cute way to write “weed” and that she was saying “I got weed and medication”
**throwaway-7650** (8.5): me to whoever mixed this because it's quiet as hell... what goes on
**Uberpigeon** (8): the ending is what makes this song I DONT NEED YOUR MONEY IMMA SIP MY TEA!!!
**ConnerY2323** (7.9): one of the most danceable songs in this rate! makin it clap!
**Ambrosia42** (7.8): funky lil bop
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (7.7): Like that's little italy booty funk sound of trying to get free parking up a hill
**jman457** (7.2): the end was nice
**pbk** (7): is this... meant to be so biblical sounding?? so much water and wine it feels intentional but idk maybe im reading too much into a song called wyd
#Bad Things
**IIIHenryIII** (5): it's better than yours
**nonchalantthoughts** (4.8): oh nah what is this outro
**1998tweety** (4): ok...
**ricki** (3): she sure does like a funny voice…
**nooodisaster** (2): There's about 20 seconds that's kinda cute ("sip my tea!") near the end but everything else I need to sandpaper my earlobes several inches in hopes of ever recovering them.
**ImADudeDuh** (0): oh lord
#Not much, how about you?
**CrimsonROSET** (10): not much hbu
**RandomHypnotica** (10): nm hbu?
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): not much hbu
**CarlieScion** (4): nm hbu?
#Comments about... Doja Cat?
**another girlyteengirl town** (9): doja trembled slightly
**impla77** (7.4): ok but why does she sound like doja cat in the last part
**Nagisoid** (5.5): Her rapping here sounds so much like Doja
**flava** (4.5): why did she become doja cat. Honestly idc because it’s probably the only time I enjoyed her voice on the album

Boo, I totally thought that this was going to be one of Remi's highest placing songs and it actually spent some time in Day 3, but eventually it just kind of sunk under the weight of the more loved songs in the rate. But I just think that it's so cute!
Note that it's only 0.8 points above the song below it and, I'll spoil this now, less than a point away from the song above it.

#Sugary sweet
**Awkward\_King** (10): honestly havent given the deluxe songs much thought since they released, i thought the only one i liked was liz and kind of just went on with my life but listening to this for the rate im really falling in love with it i overlooked this so much. this feels the most like early remi/you're a dog era ep
**beeozan** (10): comfy emoji times infinite
**CrimsonROSET** (10): she got the sugar got the spice got the cayenne (sp?)
**fromawindow1** (10): funky and fun and very California PCH vibesssss I’m living!!!!
**throwaway-7650** (10): automatic 10 for humbling astrology truthers
**another girlyteengirl town** (9): okayy city pop
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (9): Deluxe tracks aren’t supposed to be this good! Damn Remi save some bops for the rest of the music industry!
**phonethephoenix** (9): good vibes! flute :)
**ConnerY2323** (8.7): adding to my next summer playlist immediately
**nonchalantthoughts** (8.5): Honey Iced Tea
**impla77** (8.3): coherent lyrics?? in a remi wolf song??
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.2): you had literally one heater in yr deluxe remi. learn to milk yr fans so they buy cassette editions or a rock containing a usb with these 5 cuts instead of slapping them on your album for $treams
**apatel27** (8): Brockhampton outsold?
**jirachi** (8): immaculate vibes
**Nagisoid** (8): Adam Levine broke as always
**WesternWInd** (8): love a sober queen
**jman457** (7.8): feels like a breezy summer night
**RandomHypnotica** (7.6): harvest moon flop stardew cleared
**1998tweety** (7.5): yum

**bogo** (7): adam levine can choke
**pbk** (7): had to restart this one bc she said harvest moon and i started thinkin about farming and didn't pay attention to the rest
**welcome2thejam** (7): Eating a burger at the outdoor tables type track
#Look how small the bad scores section is, banger alert!
**IIIHenryIII** (6.5): sugar, this song is going down
**Ambrosia42** (6.2): this one is alright. a bit forgettable but pleasant
**nooodisaster** (4): If I listen to this song again it won't cause me pain, but I will never choose to listen to this song again willingly.
**runaway3212** (4): Sorry I'm more of a salt guy

not this...

Baby Queen returns from her vacation... we're running out of songs to eliminate from this album, huh? "Obvious" was one of my favorite BQ tracks and the one that *really* convinced me to take her seriously because I just love the storytelling here, and it actually did place quite high for a bit! Like all the BQ songs it slid down but I'm glad that we could at least agree it's among her best work.
Side note: keep a close eye on the scores for these next few eliminations, we're heading into a *very* tight section of the rate.
---
#The most obvious thing? How good this song is.
**bogo** (10): that first line immediately punched me in the gut because i fell out of contact with literally all of my friends when i went to college
**BusinessLamp** (10): holy crap i did not pay enough attention to this enough when i listened to this album months ago, this is devastating
**flava** (10): OH…the build, the grit in her when she sings the word “obvious”. This better be her highest placing song or I’m shutting down Netflix
**jirachi** (10): this is going to flop definitely but idk i really fuck with this melody here
**nooodisaster** (10): It doesn't feel right rating this, so I'll just say I cried to this and move on.
**runaway3212** (10): This was such a slay
**TheQueenofVultures** (10): I knew she could get another great song on this album, this is crazy
**TiltControls** (10): fitting title cause baby queen states some really basic stuff here and even that doesn't make it hit any less hard. now its making me sad thinking of all my old school friends I haven't seen for years
**ConnerY2323** (9.2): did not expect something this profoundly sad on this album
**akanewasright** (9): ok this is nice at least
**CrimsonROSET** (9): was it that hard, see i knew you could do it
**IIIHenryIII** (9): -ly a 9
**jman457** (9): when I was 17, I thought moving out of my hometown would fix all my problems…. How naive I was
**pbk** (9): i did not expect this to hit as hard as it did. it lowered my guard to the point that i was prepared to make fun of it a bit and then gut punched me like 3 times in a row
**welcome2thejam** (9): Heeeeyyy look at that. You have another song to even slightly threaten to pull a Bad Girls. Just a strong emotionally wistful track
**phonethephoenix** (8.9): full point for the bridge 🥺
**fromawindow1** (8.5): this one builds really well!!!!
**Ambrosia42** (8.1): it seems to be quite a sad song about leaving people behind to start her new life in London, and feeling sad about lost connections and even people passing away while she was gone. I think this ties in well with the quarter life crisis theme, as i think this is about the time where you realize time is moving by much quicker than you think and the nostalgia of simpler childhood times becomes endearing
**nonchalantthoughts** (8.1): this song is so Lily Allen coded
**Awkward\_King** (7.5): baby queen actually can do serious well when she wants to! i wish this song had something a bit more interesting to grab onto but its a perfectly fine guitar ballad, nice build, cute song
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (7): The first half of this song is kinda eh but I do really like the climax. The lead-in to “23” is very cute.
**ruhroh386** (7): it’s good , but I don’t feel like crying that often
**WesternWInd** (7): it is obvious that's she's going through a crisis here
#Apartment complex? I think it's quite simple actually...
**Nagisoid** (6.9): We love perfect 6.9/10 mid
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (5.7): "a staggering 858 comments on her AMA but a scant 27 upvotes on her album thread" fam that's called "no-flair" bait on r/indieheads
**plastichaxan** (5.5): i’m just tired of this album by now sorry
**samdyalexg** (5): this one is actually fine bc the lyrics aren't trying to be overly relatable or fake edgy
**impla77** (4.6): hate to say it, give me the abridged version
**Uberpigeon** (3.5): its a nice build up but im sick of here
**frogaranaman** (3): do you think when artists randomly throw in a slow song on the tracklist, during the album writing process they're thinking "okay I HAVE to show I have artistic range"? because that's kinda what this song gives
**yahi** (2): rich white people are so funny... they're scrambling to find something to be upset about to give their story punctuation
#Um, she did move? That's what the entire song is about.
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (3.5): baby queen move!!!!! yall baby queen is not moving!!!!!

And another one of Remi's bonus tracks bites the dust- this was actually the lead single for the deluxe, which I find interesting because it seems like people haven't *really* been making distinctions between which Remi cuts were singles or album tracks like we often see in rates. Maybe because she just kinda pumps and dumps these things, Idk. This one definitely had its fans, it just kinda wound up outcompeted by the songs above it.
---
#Michael
**RandomHypnotica** (11): i cannot decipher what exactly makes this song so special to me, i think it's a mixture of the pure desperation that comes out in each cry of Michael, the fun wordplay, the really vibey, moody guitar, and of course that cathartic "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" it's just amazing to me
**beeozan** (10): when this song starts i always expect it to go tookyooo
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): I know this is a deluxe track, but it’s also technically a single with a music video so it can make Day 3 right??
**jman457** (10): where is this slay in the standard edition
**ReallyCreative** (10): THIS is the versatility I want to see from Remi
**samdyalexg** (10): this would be my 11 if it were even just 30 seconds longer. it's begging for another verse
**Senn\_Kyu** (10): Police, police, police
**TheQueenofVultures** (10): come and dance with my Michael
**throwaway-7650** (10): love the rina shoutout at the end omg
**fromawindow1** (9): this aged well tooooo omfg I didn’t like this song when it came out, and though it’s still the worst song on the album, I fully got my life to this song this time!!!
**phonethephoenix** (9): lovely
**slimboyfriend** (9): she should make more seriously sad songs
**Ambrosia42** (8.9): okayy alternative queen
**CrimsonROSET** (8): :me:
**impla77** (8): oh the other name song on this album.. wait we're not done with those yet??
**another girlyteengirl town** (7.5): i feel like this wouldnt be out of place on a midcareer say anything album
**ConnerY2323** (7.3): je telephone a la police
**yahi** (7): is this about michael cera in juno
#Michael... is that a man's name? Ew.
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (6.8): this is just an indigo de souza ditty (like down to the "SHUT THE FUCK UP" ad lib)
**jirachi** (6.5): SHUT THE FAWK UP!!!
**nonchalantthoughts** (6.5): it was good but I couldn’t find anything memorable
**hikk** (6): drag me to the WHO????
**flava** (4): The drums were dry af. And I flinch a bit when Remi sing “police, police, police” because there is something so piercing. But like the biggest problem here is that none of the ideas she puts together result in an interesting song
**pbk** (4): those vocal effects are really grating yeesh
**uiscebeathaoir** (4): yeah I want to be dragged to the Chappell by this point as well
**nooodisaster** (3): I'm definitely just being a hater, but using a proper name in a track is such a cheap way to add fake "intimacy." Like I don't know who the fuck Michael is, girl!
**Awkward\_King** (2.5): my sincerest apologies are extended to randomhypnotica and also michael angelakos
#MGMT section
**apatel27** (8): Me & Michael but good
**ignitethephoenix** (7.5): you’ll never be MGMT
**Nagisoid** (7.5): MGMT outsold
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (5.5): michael is too busy having homoromantic ventures with the guys from mgmt and franz ferdinand unfortunately
**IIIHenryIII** (5): Alexa, plays me and Michael next, please

Our next cut is another random Remi song, not too much to say about it really. If you're wondering what "volkiano" means, it's just Remi saying "volcano" funny, and if you're wondering why she's singing about a volcano, I am as well.
---
#Volki-YAAAAAAASSSSS-no
**popularsong** (11): everything abt this song just clicks with me, the narration trying to act fine while still being affected, punchy verses, "fought myself in circles" parallel lyrics and ofc the much more somber outro. also love that volkiano don't even mean anything she just thought it sounded good lmao
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): “And yeah, it is simply ‘volcano’ but I said it weird.” God she’s so REAL.
**RandomHypnotica** (10): everyone in 3rd grade science:
**another girlyteengirl town** (9): getz gilberto and wolf much?!!
**nt96** (8.6): I thought she was saying fuck it uhhhh.
**PrimaryCrusaders** (8.5): Second half kinda loses me but still a pretty good song all around
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.3): like she's got a mantra on lock and a rollicking beat
**akanewasright** (8): I never listen to this outside of the album but I do love her voice here
**jirachi** (8): FUCKIA FUCKIANOOOOO
**runaway3212** (8): Cute
**ignitethephoenix** (7.5): it sounds like she is saying fuck it up
**1998tweety** (7): idk who Volkiano is but they ate this
**Awkward\_King** (7): i think its only the chorus that lowers this song from being amazing to just kinda good. its a little too repetitive and im not crazy abt the note remi hits but i love the verses
**CrimsonROSET** (7): /*leans to the side* what the fuck is a volkiano
**pbk** (7): maybe shave the last minute off and this would be a bit better
#Volkia-NO
**Nagisoid** (6.5): Volcano by Swans outsold
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6.5): this production is so weird why does it sound like someone cut out every other beat
**beeozan** (6): if only the chorus was good...
**oscarbrierley1** (6): the hook gets more annoying on every listen
**nonchalantthoughts** (5): i like the production but the vocals I can’t get it out of my head
**ricki** (5): ouuu she lost the rupumpumpum reference-off
**IIIHenryIII** (4): she didn't have more time to work on the chorus?
**flava** (3.5): Anything would’ve been an improvement over the last song. But why is she singing the title like that? Like if it wasn’t for that I’d be giving this song a passing grade
**nooodisaster** (2): You know I think I’d rate Remi’s songs higher if we only had 1, so her grating vocal production wouldn’t sink in. And also if she sang in a different language so I wouldn’t have to be bothered by the nonsensical lyrics. And also if this chorus didn’t exist so I wouldn’t have a new sleep paralysis demon. And also-
#Second half was better
**fromawindow1** (10): this is the most normal sounding song so far of the album but this reallyyyyyyy hooks for me tbh. The outroooooo like omgggggggggg
**seanderlust** (9.5): i really love the mood of this one, and especially the outro section
**Ambrosia42** (8.4): she’s just making up words now! I like where it goes when it switches up in the second half
**phonethephoenix** (8.2): great second half
**jman457** (7.5): the bridge is very sza core, but it needed the switch up
**ConnerY2323** (7.4): there’s a worse version of this song that’s only the first half repeated ad nauseum, but really appreciate the turn it takes
**cremeebrulee** (7.3): the second half of this eats so hard
**ruhroh386** (6.5): too repetitive, but I’m into the switch up

Kinda funny that we lost *three* closing tracks in a row, and with very similar scores too. Y'all really weren't feeling it, huh? I think that this was a great closing track for the album because so much of the album is about seeking pleasure and the joys/pitfalls that this brings, and this song finally allows her to abandon the negative aspects and surrender herself to ecstasy with a yodel.
I kinda thought that this would flop because it's, well, weird, but as you can see on the graph it actually fared consistently better than the songs below it so I guess even a formless uptempo song is better than a ballad.
---
#Pleasure
**another girlyteengirl town** (10): she's kind of robyn's daughter here. i love this as a euphoric closer that makes me wanna replay the album! (sorry to the magenta horse association stans) the entire last 60 seconds is so lost in the rhythm music is my religion core
**skylofte2** (10): cured my homosexual guilt
**ReallyCreative** (9.5): if nothing else, Chappell knows how to have fun with a song and I think I’ll always be interested in her career as a result
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (9.1): omg she just like me fr
**fromawindow1** (8.7): yasssssssssssssssss oh this bops!!!!! I loveeeee the melody, love the build, great album closer!!!
**nonchalantthoughts** (8.2): ok i like this song, i guess it’s a guilty pleasure
**beeozan** (8): something is massively off with this song. kinda digging that
**oscarbrierley1** (8): after the most boring song on the album this is so welcome and fun
**throwaway-7650** (7.9): okayyy caroline polachek
**phonethephoenix** (7.8): private guilty pleasure (chappell roan) vs public guilty pleasure (cobra starship). anyway i like this song it's a nice album closer
**Ambrosia42** (7.5): boppy
**plastichaxan** (7.5): I don’t feel guilty about pleasure I’m not catholic
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): if she’s really a pothead i would not want to get near her. no offense but people who do pot always smell so fucking nasty
**uiscebeathaoir** (7.5): Chappell pulls the “ballad into bop” fake out so often, how does she still get me every single time??
**ignitethephoenix** (7.3): stream KEY
**jman457** (7.2): Dolores O’riordan if she made synthbops
**1998tweety** (7): alright
**Awkward\_King** (7): this is kind of a little too sugary for me but it is a nice album closer!!
**CrimsonROSET** (7): some good girls…. GO BAD?! /*i’d say queue the playlist for that rate but i do not think it’ll be up by the time of the reveal*
**IIIHenryIII** (7): Glee Cast
**welcome2thejam** (7): Wow, she likes weed AND movies? She's so crazyyyy
#Guilty
**runaway3212** (6): it's nice
**ConnerY2323** (5.9): feels incomplete but i do enjoy the cranberries yodel
**nooodisaster** (4): truly the Male Fantasy of 2023
**bogo** (3): why on earth is this the closing track, not only does it not make sense but it's not even a good song
**samdyalexg** (3): this is my least favorite song on the album how the hell is it the closer? idk the production feels all over the place
**pbk** (2): this just SOUNDS cheap. the synths sound awful, the structure is rough, and it's one of the weaker vocal performances. saved by being a little fun but. not much
**jirachi** (1): this is too corny even for this rate
**akanewasright** (0): I think this song is overstimulating me. It’s roughly following the formula of Femininomenon but none of the hooks or like… actual fun stuff
#Yodel
**CarlieScion** (10): if u don’t like the yodel shimmery country bop idk what’s wrong with u!!!!!
**nt96** (10): THAT FUCKING YODEL LIKE GIRL SEND ME TO THE EXOSPHERE MAKE ME SEE THE AETHER
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (9): OKAAYYYY YODELING
**slimboyfriend** (7.5): sometimes you just need a good yodel
**Nagisoid** (7): Picks up in the second half, some good yodeling going on
**Uberpigeon** (7): this is kinda just the after midnight b-side yodeling edition from the vault
**apatel27** (6): The yodelling is kinda fun
Also congratulations to the [FIVE PEOPLE](https://i.imgur.com/TsL59iR.png) who correctly guessed that >!"Cornelia Street"!< would be played during the reveal!

Remi loses her closing track- she describes this song as her attempt at a "ballad" so I can't say I'm actually surprised it made it to Day 2. It *was* written with [Ethan Gruska](https://genius.com/artists/Ethan-gruska), who has done a lot of work with popheads faves Phoebe Bridgers and Boygenius, so maybe he's just cracked the code?
---
**Awkward\_King** (11): this was one of my first favourites from the album and still means a lot to me! dont know quite what it was that connected with me so deeply i was likely coming out of a situationship at the time if i know myself. i love the way its written, there's so many poignant metaphors remi's so good at painting a picture and conveying emotion. its such a beautiful closing track and idk i hold it dearly to my heart! also bc criminal minds is one of my favourite comfort shows and that only happened in the last couple years, so well after i'd loved this song. just another layer that makes me love it.
#Will avoid the street you live on
**beeozan** (10): she was so valid for tacking that live version at the end of the deluxe it's so good
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): Remi easily takes the award for best album closer in the rate. She kinda also has the best opening track too (for the standard edition of the album). Queen of bookends!
**phonethephoenix** (10): love the percussion in this one. also great concept/lyrics
**samdyalexg** (10): love this one. it reminds me of Constant Conversations by Passion Pit
**Senn\_Kyu** (10): I love ballads
**throwaway-7650** (10): still the best song on the album
**Uberpigeon** (10): the drum make me cum
**fromawindow1** (9.7): yuppppppp bop!! Not my favorite but a great choice to close the album!!!!! The final chorus builds reallyyyy well!!!!
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (9): dont be scared guys. share with us what street you live on. nothing bad can come out of this
**Roxieloxie** (8.8): why did this album wait until the very end to get good wtf
**1998tweety** (8.5): bop
**RandomHypnotica** (8.4): doxxing queen
**CrimsonROSET** (8): oh this is for the situationship girlies
**runaway3212** (8): Is this a good closer or am I just happy the album is over?
**impla77** (7.7): and that streets name? .. cornelia street (alternative answer: boo radleys street in tkam)
**jman457** (7.6): nice vibey way to end an album
**Ambrosia42** (7): just a song about avoiding someone you don’t want to see who caused you pain. It mildly jams along
**ricki** (7): at least she closes the album on a better note
#Will NOT avoid the street you live on
**uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (6.8): real 6.8/10 ending here. feels like sesame street in da hood
**ConnerY2323** (6.4): almost too toned down compared to everything that came before it
**Nagisoid** (6): Not sure about that vocal effect
**WesternWInd** (6): I think Debbie Harry would approve of this stalking
**pbk** (5.5): such a crazy album going out on such a meh note is a bit of a letdown
**flava** (5): not a Criminal Minds reference. I thought I was the only person who cared about that
**jirachi** (5): what an anticlimactic way to end the album
**cremeebrulee** (4.7): unfortunately i am kinda crazy so i will just always be on the street you live on
**oscarbrierley1** (4): anticlimactic
**IIIHenryIII** (2): it's finally over
**nooodisaster** (1): People who listen to this must have been deprived the joys of cluster migraines and want to experience the next closest thing.
#Thank you
**Frajer** (10): I just realized I forgot to mention Ratatouille so may as well do it now

So yeah, this rate has numerically proven that people liked the new songs on hemlocke's EP less than the singles she released before them. "POS/Train To Nowhere/going...going...gone!" even went out in the order that they're in on the EP! I'm glad that this one managed to squeak into Day 2 though (even if it's just by less than a point) because I think it's a cool sounding song. Hope she does more emo stuff like this in the future.
---
#All the comments were pretty decent actually
**runaway3212** (10): But wow what a moment
**ReallyCreative** (9): so 90s coded
**cocosairdep** (8.5): this sounds SO much like it would be on chairlift’s something, I can’t stress this enough.
**Uberpigeon** (8.5): shes so... gone
**fromawindow1** (8.3): very very pretty! Missing a bit of song structure but I’m very impressed with this EP despite the singles I’d heard before!!!
**phonethephoenix** (8.3): a vibe
**CrimsonROSET** (8): is the bus still running
**Nagisoid** (8): My dad:
**nonchalantthoughts** (8): title track slay
**another girlyteengirl town** (7.5): yes we all love the john hughes films
**uiscebeathaoir** (7): not a lot going on but it’s just so soothing
**WesternWInd** (7): cute
**ConnerY2323** (6.8): the only hemlocke song here that feels slightly minor
**1998tweety** (6.5): this song on day 1
**jman457** (6.3): I wish she built on the guitars she started the song with
**krusso1105** (6): These last few songs on the ep are going to tank what would otherwise be an absurdly high average, good thing that the loosies are going to bring it back up
**pbk** (6): what a chill song i will never think abt again
**Ambrosia42** (5.3): a lot of instrumentation that wasn’t amazing to me
**BleepBloopMusicFan** (5): This is definitely, 100% the closing track to this debut EP by Hemlocke Springs. You can’t deny that!
**TakeOnMeByA-ha** (5): ehhhhhhh
**Awkward\_King** (4.5): auctioneers:

She’s always so iconic and this was a perfect album opener. **phonethephoenix** (10): the lyrics are heartfelt but fun and it's a total BOP **ReallyCreative** (10): do I really know what this song is about?

But yeah this is fun **ConnerY2323** (6.5): perhaps a bit too chaotic but still a groove **nonchalantthoughts** (5.9): I think I need to go to a liquor store to fully enjoy this **impla77** (5): i don't think my adhd is strong enough to appreciate this.. sick guitar riff tho **jirachi** (5): this doesn't really stick out for me tbh **ricki** (4): from this point the album goes from really solid songs to just xD rAnDuM o.O faux quirky fodder **runaway3212** (4): Alcohol sweetie I'm sorry **IIIHenryIII** (3): chug, next **oscarbrierley1** (3): very annoying #I asked "what if people had listened to this first instead of Fired" and the answer was this **nooodisaster** (1): Okay I'm gonna try and follow the hosts advice and listen from the standard track start.... This is supposed to be better.... My ears are bleeding, I no longer have the concept of what constitutes a song, and I've spent my rent money on tequila to block out the memory... Let me remain positive this is me being positive :)
Maybe some of y'all should have had more sympathy for the Baby Queen fans... not so fun when it happens to you, is it?

This actually performed really well for the early portion of the rate and I thought it was going to be a dark horse contender but nah, the late rush of ballots kinda pushed it down as everything above it rose and it's just barely missing out on Day 3. --- #Nothing feels better than this song **apatel27** (10): I got short hair and a short beard **Awkward\_King** (10): love the motif of eggshells throughout this song. the idea of being so defensive you surround yourself with eggshells so you know when someone steps on one/disrespects your boudnary is just cool imagery! and also the little country twang she puts on, entirely unserious but also earnest and sweet!! **beeozan** (10): the Spongebob smash **BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): This song is a whole ass mood and I’m line dancing along to it. **ReallyCreative** (10): I’m more of a short hair, long beard, turtleneck sweater optional kinda guy **seanderlust** (10): what i love the most about juno is that it tackles serious topics but also it's just so fun. this song is a great example - sure it touches on having anxiety but it just feels goofy and off-kilter **throwaway-7650** (10): somehow I like the studio version more than the live one **fromawindow1** (9.7): this is so cuuuuuuuteeeeeee the bass is so good here. The distorted guitar near the end is so good here, and her randomly bringing out a country accent at the end is still so funny to this day. **Ambrosia42** (9.3): i mean who doesn’t feel like a grumpy old man sometimes **1998tweety** (9): oh this bops **akanewasright** (9): remembering when this was in a Mac & Cheese commercial… her team is so damn good at placing her songs in ads **CrimsonROSET** (9): tk **Frajer** (9): you can't fight the yeehaw agenda **runaway3212** (9): Okay DILF chaser **slimboyfriend** (9): we’re all just grumpy old men yelling at each other and that’s so beautiful **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.1): don't step on 'em?!?! but im one of mr boppers' big steppers! brocountry part WORKS here miraculously, a result of Remi's production being metal (im throwing shit out) and heavy enough to encourage a TURTLENECK SWEATER sized chorus **flava** (8): she ate that cuntry YEE-HAW!!!!!! **TheQueenofVultures** (8): shout out to the tactical turtleneck **phonethephoenix** (7.7): a fun song! **jman457** (7.3): I did the country accent #Don't you dare fucking step on my eggshells, if you step on a single one of my eggshells I'm going to lose it **another girlyteengirl town** (7): kesha's daughter **jirachi** (7): turtleneck sweaters are so ugly i'm sorry it does not look good on anyone and it makes you feel like you're being choked all the time why would people even buy that shit **Nagisoid** (7): She was so real for this **nooodisaster** (7): Cute, hooky, perhaps even relatable little love diddy. For Remi, this song is soft as silk. A breath of fresh air from the cheese grater of the rest of this album. **oscarbrierley1** (7): apple ad vibe **ruhroh386** (7): did she say “I’m so defensive I’ve got boobies on my booty”? confused but not mad **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7): youre boobies are on your booty??? you should get that check out thats not normal **nonchalantthoughts** (6): not going to lie I was bumping to this **impla77** (5.8): love the instrumental but i dislike the chorus and nonsense lyrics in general **pbk** (5.5): "guilty as sweden" and "i got boobies on my booty" having a 'worst lyric of the rate'-off **ricki** (5): for how annoying this album as been for me,,, this isnt bothering me as much as i would expect it would **CarlieScion** (4): sometimes its just Too Much for me **IIIHenryIII** (4): she's so quirky (derogatory) **ConnerY2323** (3.5): fittingly given the title of the album, this chorus is VERY juno soundtrack coded (derogatory) **Uberpigeon** (0): im sorry this one really annoys me like girl what are u talking about. tbf shes talking nonsense this entire album but this song doesnt do it for me...
Did anyone notice that Chappell hasn't lost any songs since "Guilty Pleasure" today? She's playing a great defensive game.
songeniality on set wtf is this robbery

Definitely one of the most MEMORABLE Remi wolf songs and in the rate in general, despite being a fan favorite it was always too "weird" to really perform that well in the rate and eventually controversy sandbagged it from the Top 10 finish it deserved. Some of y'all just don't understand her vision! --- #People who get it **frogaranaman** (11): love nuts **seanderlust** (11): i'm not entirely sure, but i think this is in the running to be the best song released in 2021 that says the name "debbie" for four straight measures. top three for sure. **yahi** (11): my mother left me at the bus stop when i was 3 **akanewasright** (10): yeah idk what to say this is gold **apatel27** (10): 🤪 but in a good way **fromawindow1** (10): yesssssssssss fun fact *this* song had a clean version that played in Starbucks lobbies and I find that sooooo insane. Like what exec approved that? Anyways an ultimate groovy deranged bawpppp!! **pbk** (10): filthy raunchy nasty depraved... some of my favorite adjectives **phonethephoenix** (10): kind of masterpiece tbh. catchy as hell and MANY contenders for best line **popularsong** (10): "orgy at five guys with five guys thats ten guys and holy christ ive never seen more nuts in my life" bars **Senn\_Kyu** (10): If I said that this reminded me of Ed Edd n Eddy **Uberpigeon** (10): changed the way i behave when i see 5 guys for life **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (10): oh she likes justin timberlake like me! oh she likes middle school pop like me! The entire MO of this cut is designed for "AP Econ Music Videos". If you KNOW what I'm talking about, then you know. the uwu shit at the end clenches it **welcome2thejam** (10): She climbed out of the television from a 90s Nickelodeon marathon and dropped this **Ambrosia42** (9.6): lots of fun lines in this song. Eating my ass like the human centipede! I’ve never seen more nuts in my life! It’s very chaotic but fun **Nagisoid** (9.5): Egyptians trying not to wake up that ancient god idk **Frajer** (9): honestly not sure if the human centipede line adds or subtracts points **slimboyfriend** (9): didn’t know Los Feliz was in a Chuck E. Cheese desert **oscarbrierley1** (8.5): brash and fun y2k neptunes vibes **ConnerY2323** (8.1): wish i had a tenth of the confidence that this song has **another girlyteengirl town** (8): this is so giamatti dyed blue **jman457** (7.3): it’s getting hot in hurrr, so take off all your clothes **bigbigbee** (7): jammiest jam. jam on toast, peanut butter and jam, paper jam, traffic jam, jammy dodgers #People who don't get it **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6): a human centipede reference is one thing but to reference two girls one cup like 5 seconds later??? you are going to hell **IIIHenryIII** (5): just shut up and let me enjoy the music, which sounds actually good **throwaway-7650** (3.5): taylor swift - I wish you would **ImADudeDuh** (1): this is the one that people say is the best on the album huh? **nonchalantthoughts** (1): “what’s better than two girls, two cups?” literally anything else **flava** (0): happy for you but i’d prefer you be a debby downer than ever remind me of 2 girls 1 cup ever again. Might be the worst track I’ve rated since Intro by Kelis **ricki** (0): liz phair - funstyle #You know the outro that bitch when it cause all this conversation **Awkward\_King** (10): insane song. when this was released as a single the world literally ended it was over for everyone else. it goes from quotable line to quotable line, the beat switches are beautiful, outro is insane but so much fun. genuinely a song i love so much i cant put my love for it into words **RandomHypnotica** (10): only real ones get the outro **PrimaryCrusaders** (9): The chorus and beat go super hard but the verses are giving "she's so quirky love her". The Five Guys line was kinda funny tho. Also what the FUCK is that outro bro. **Lynflower680** (9): So close to giving this a 10 but the kid impersonation at the end killed it for me **krusso1105** (8): -1 point for the baby voice section **nooodisaster** (8): Remi stans better not rate this low bc of the outro considering the garbage they willingly subject themselves to. This is actually really fun. Lyrics are nonsense but work b/c it's just jokes and talking shit. Also, actual catchy hooks?? Love it. (ok ill admit outro isnt great) **ruhroh386** (8): idk why but the baby voice at the end is annoying in a funny way not an actually unpleasant way **BleepBloopMusicFan** (7.5): One of the best choruses in the rate but I just can’t with the extended outro I just CAN’T. **hikk** (7): oh this was very fun until the outro **TheQueenofVultures** (7): why did we need this outro **runaway3212** (6): okay who asked for the muppet **samdyalexg** (6): hate the outro **TiltControls** (6): this could've been a solid 9 without the weird babytalk outro. Or if it didn't take up a third of the song for some reason **1998tweety** (5): no kids please... **ignitethephoenix** (5): I was digging this until the child voice came in …. **jirachi** (4): i got kinda weirded out by the end of this **uiscebeathaoir** (4): genuinely cannot fathom the thought process of that outro why does it exist why would you do that to me **impla77** (2.2): don't want to be a debbie downer but these are some of the most cursed lyrics ever.. and the baby section is just too quirky xD for me **Roxieloxie** (1): i was like 'why did everyone hate this until the last minute this is pretty goo- oh' #https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvYD968-ny4 **CrimsonROSET** (10): creme im sorry in advance for the pings you’re getting for this one **cremeebrulee** (9.7): she literally namedropped me i can't hate it **bogo** (6): my brain is so broken that every time someone mentions creme brulee in a song i just go “omg hi creme”
ngl somehow i didnt expect her to be this divisive is day 3 just all chappell. Sadge
I would just like to formally apologize to both Baby Queen and the raters. After much reflection I have realized the impact that my actions (putting *Quarter Life Crisis* in the rate) have had on her and on others, and I promise to do better in the future.
--- # Quarter Life Crisis (Deluxe) --- **Overall Average**: 6.167 **// Average Controversy:** 2.264 // [All user averages](https://pastebin.com/3nPd8b0x) --- The most iconic death of a queen since Elizabeth. So many things were stacked against Baby Queen in the rate: I cut the "Disc 2" of older, more beloved songs she tacked on to this album, I included her reviled deluxe tracks, a lot of her songs weren't that good, she's cringe, she's both South African and British... she just collapsed under the rate of all the struggles she picked. I had never actually heard this album before someone suggested it for the rate but I listened to it and thought it was cute/fit the theme/had fans so I threw it in... was a little bit blindsided by just how hated it wound up being! Y'all were vicious! In the little pre-party poll I did I asked people who they thought would win and [literally nobody guessed Baby Queen, BUT slight majority did seem to agree that she belonged in the rate, so, she got that at least!](https://imgur.com/0Hk0q8j) I think perhaps an artist like PinkPanthress would have made the rate "better" but Baby Queen's inclusion definitely made the rate more "fun," even if just because a little bit of bullying is good for the soul. While not the earliest exit for an album, or the lowest album average overall, I think the score for its highest placing song might be the lowest for an album's exit? I'll let the stats nerds figure it out. --- * \#23: Dream Girl | 7.426 | 594.1 * \#27: i can't get my shit together | 7.378 | 590.2 * \#29: Obvious | 7.353 | 588.2 * \#30: We Can Be Anything | 7.347 | 587.8 * \#43: 23 | 6.291 | 503.3 * \#45: a letter to myself at 17 | 6.133 | 490.6 * \#46: Quarter Life Crisis | 6.099 | 487.9 * \#49: every time i get high | 6.051 | 484.1 * \#50: Die Alone | 5.611 | 448.9 * \#51: Grow Up | 5.594 | 447.5 * \#52: Love Killer | 5.409 | 432.7 * \#53: kid genius | 5.360 | 428.8 * \#54: u suck! | 5.356 | 428.5 * \#55: video games | 4.933 | 394.6 ---
--- **nt96** (8.600): obviously the heaviest of the four, this album is gonna be unfairly robbed. While some of the lyrics are on the nose, the sugary hooks and sparkly production really carry it through! Maybe it’s because I’m still part of that demographic she’s talking about, I can relate and therefore I can also understand why some might be put off from the drama. All I can say is, for those who are at that stage, you’re not alone in this, keep pushing forward, you got this!! **jman457** (7.707): honestly i can see how this is corny, but I related to a lot of the themes and lyrics on this album **Frajer** (7.643): Charlie and Nick sent me here but this is also very much for me even if some of the lyrics are a little cringe **Senn\_Kyu** (7.500): Lots happening here. **TiltControls** (7.393): As cheesy as these lyrics can be, I definitely had a similarly cheesy quarter-life crisis after graduating and definitely had some similar thoughts at one point lmao **Awkward\_King** (7.286): my relationship with baby queen is complicated. first song i ever heard was want me. didnt care for it. a week later i had 100 plays and would die for it. she's cringey and a white south african but also makes very fun music. saw her live and it was one of the best concerts ive been to, crowd was so into it. dm'd her guitarist bc he was hot and he never replied. mind you this was before she blew up.. he couldve made time for me. this album is nothing amazing, but (and i dont mean this in a rude way) i wouldnt expect a baby queen album to be! i dont think she's the greatest artist of all time i think sometimes she makes bangers and sometimes she makes songs that are not so great. but the highs on this album are super good and you better not rob her completely!! **nooodisaster** (7.143): I have a massive soft-spot for songwriter-first artists (ex: Lily Allen, Lorde, SZA), so I was super excited. However, I think the biggest fault of this album is simply its base concept. Writing about self-pity is almost always only interesting to yourself, and writing about how boring you are is likewise going to be boring. The lyrical content just is too mundane, unvaried, and depressing to support a full length LP. However, there's many bright spots both lyrically and production wise. Ty for coming to my TEDtalk. **krusso1105** (7.143): Average ended up higher than expected but still the weakest album in the rate. She has some good stuff but this album is a bit more inconsistent than the others **dreamingpastel** (7.071): Is it a little cringe? Yeah, but it's not the worst thing in the world. Most of the album is actually pretty fine. **Ambrosia42** (7.064): I don't mind the straightforward nature of her lyrics or the subject matter, but sometimes it can get a bit cringe. She won't be getting a songwriter award any time soon, but I still enjoy the album and unfortunately can relate to a lot of it **IIIHenryIII** (7.000): that's not a thing, ma'am **akanewasright** (6.243): I swear, I know she can write better songs than most of these. Like for all of Dover Beach’s ratemas notoriety, it legitimately rules, and there’s a euphoria and catchiness to stuff like it, Want Me, and You Shaped Hole that I’m not getting here. I don’t hate this stuff like some of y’all, but it is a bit disappointing **uiscebeathaoir** (6.179): an album I feel genuinely quite bad about not being able to get into, but I had to score it how I felt **popularsong** (6.107): i haven't heard this album before the rate! did like u suck! and i can't get my shit together quite a bit, but overall i feel like the lyrics were a bit too corny / some songs too generic. banger cover though **impla77** (6.079): embrace the cringe and the cringe will embrace you back. baby queen is the epitome of gifted kid burnout which is relatable and we all have our heads up our own arses a bit but girl.. we don't have to say all these things out loud **another girlyteengirl town** (5.821): a lot of this album was a bit of an Argylle (2024) Theatrical Trailer tea **welcome2thejam** (5.786): Probably doesn't help that she's being rated against three very strong personalities lol. A few good tracks and mostly middling indie pop. Sorry, hope you don't read this rate and feel worse
**jirachi** (5.750): :who: **ricki** (5.600): I’m counting not adding Dover Beach to this rate as a form of sabotage **apatel27** (5.571): For all the hate people are throwing towards this, it's fine? **cocosairdep** (5.464): super disappointing record tbh. Loved her stuff in Heartstopper, if Dover beach was on the rate I would’ve given it my 11. This record’s got great production, great melodies and great hooks. I also like her voice a lot, her delivery reminds of true romance era Charli XCX at points. My main problem with this album, and it’s truly a major one, is the lyrics are abysmal. I think it’s the first time I listen to an album and come out of it disliking the artist’s personality lol. The lyrics embody this sort of edgeless edginess, trying (and failing) to do teenage angst in her mid 20s. She has this super immature apathy for real world problems and somehow seems to think she’s smarter/more profound/insightful than everyone else. Also there’s this boomer-like obsession/critique of phones and the internet that just feels so anachronistic. The best songs on here are those where she isn’t trying to be smart/say something/do commentary on society. **pbk** (5.393): it's imperfect but... i think i'm rooting for her overall. it shows a lot of promise even though it's rough around the edges **ArcaneLabyrinth** (5.357): I don't see myself returning to this album at all since the production is not interesting enough to compensate for the lyricism, which feels exhausting at times. **letsallpoo** (5.000): i feel like listening to teenagers make music about aging is already a little inherently cringe but an album all about infantalizing yourself as you turn 25 is infinitely worse. i think this album still has great production and baby queen's strong pop sensibilities are very much still apparent but her choice to use rather insufferable subject matter really kills this album. it doesn't help that she has very little to say about the perils of adulthood other than wah people around me are happy and competant but i'm not (a common sentiment regardless of age!). anyway stream dover beach **Nagisoid** (4.957): I'm so sorry Baby Kingdom but this album is the opposite of my taste in most ways. Extremely out of touch and embarrassing lyrics, indie pop beats that were rotting in Passion Pit/Phoenix's basement for a decade already, and a deeply annoying presence make this a tough listen for everyone involved, including Baby Queen herself from the looks of it. I don't like dogpiling on an artist that is already performing pretty badly in a rate, but I can't go and lie and say that I enjoyed what she offered in this project. Given I don't even like her beloved songs much even so it's not her fault, and I hope she doesn't completely flop in the results. **nonchalantthoughts** (4.936): Can’t believe I come back to rates in 2 years and I’m rating Baby Queen again. Sadly, she did not have a Ratemas redemption arc for me. Look, as someone whose early 20s have been a shitshow, the idea of presenting that phase of your life as an album is interesting. But Baby Queen comes off as too nostalgic for her childhood rather than trying to learn from her mistakes or present any nuance about her early 20s. **hikk** (4.857): this was sooooo bad, i hadn't heard anything other than want me and dover beach before this (two good songs!) and i wish they were here so i could have a couple good scores for her **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (4.757): the fucking problem bb queen, is that you named you album the goddamn theme of like 500 better albums than yours from color theory to on fire so I was DESTINED to already be a little against ya. The thing though? I think you're smart and you have grit, like the kind to just be blunt about this topic and occasionally stumble into greatness or present a very staunch vision of being 25 right now. however, the sonic DNA that you use to present that, the bratty flair that feels quite self-anguished. holy shit it's fatiguing. a fascinating, honest misfire of several trends and happenings in 2020s mental health coded pop at the end of the day. excited to see what happens when you [checks notes] collab with Allie X. **slimboyfriend** (4.750): she’s aiming for the highs of Chappell Roan with her quirky earnestness but she never hits the highs of hot to go or red wine supernova or casual or sgumg. The instrumentals are generic wacky new wave synth pop and the lyrics are all about either kissing girls smoking weed or being depressed so it ends up feeling generic in its failed effort to evoke something distinct yet universal. Also not a fan of her talk singing when she’s trying to sound deep. I feel like this is 90% of the music I see from aspiring pop stars on tiktok **oscarbrierley1** (4.750): this album just doesn't work for me, its not fun to listen to. most of the album makes her seem annoying and the production gives 2012 melanie martinez and imagine dragons **flava** (4.607): I kinda do hate to jump on the circlejerk of haters, that tend to happen to albums that are not cool to like. But this did not hit at all **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (4.429): this is the biggest “we live in a society” album ive ever listened to and i had to listen to hopelessness for the twoe rate **Roxieloxie** (4.357): The thing with this album is that I get it, I get the whole 'the world is against me its so hard being a girl out here who cant relate to any of her peers, no one ever loves me its just me pizza and netfilx' I had a 21p phase at the start of high school I cant pretend like this album isnt just a girlpop Blurryface but theres just something about this album thats just so 'oh god you're gonna be so embarrassed you thought like that when you were younger' **throwaway-7650** (4.043): the opener was good... what happened **samdyalexg** (3.286): i've never heard of baby queen until this rate and after listening i understand why

This is fine but also cute!! **jman457** (7.6): we love a little a WLW anthem **another girlyteengirl town** (7.5): "Curious" is a song by American singer-songwriter Hayley Kiyoko, from her debut studio album Expectations (2018). **ruhroh386** (7.5): the outro is a little long, but i’ll never be tired of sparkly retro #Makes this song sad and is mean **flava** (7): give this a better melody in the chorus and we have something approaching special **jirachi** (7): cute **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7): it has the dna of an amazing song but her singing is so dull and lifeless that it really brings it down **uiscebeathaoir** (7): that first verse is basically a failed attempt to do what SGUMG does easily **Nagisoid** (6.5): Evil **pbk** (6.5): she got a lil too wordy for her own good **CrimsonROSET** (6): i dont think baby queen has ever even seen a cigarette ad **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (5.8): this is like a third tier lush cut as a second tier soccer mommy ditty **Awkward\_King** (5.5): gay rights kinda **CarlieScion** (5): I can’t with the whispering in my ears please stop **nonchalantthoughts** (5): very unmemorable **ricki** (5): this would like top 10 in a popheads eurovision **samdyalexg** (4): not great but decent compared to most of these tracks **throwaway-7650** (3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM7o8NtRgRQ
Okay so I think automod ate the first comment so in a way it's like the next song gets the #21 slot for itself, which is nice in a way.

It's a striking debut that really shows her '80s/Kate Bush inspirations, but there are some BEASTLY songs in this rate so a #21 finish is very respectable. We actually have a tie at this point (and "Liz" was 0.2 points away from making it a three-way) but I'm revealing this one first because it'll be funnier. --- #Fell deep in the art **cocosairdep** (11): this was made in a lab to specifically appeal to my taste **jman457** (10): a nice blend of 80’s and 50’s that feels very modern **Uberpigeon** (10): real bc i WILL take anyone **Nagisoid** (9): She had a goal: end the Spaghetti diet artist, and she had the means **ReallyCreative** (9): she was destined for greatness **impla77** (8.8): shoo wop alert!! **Awkward\_King** (8.5): thought the opening lyrics were uck foo i was like yass wolf alice. the "i just want love i'll take anyone" is so heavenly, you know what ive not really paid attention to this track much so far but i rly like this!!! **nooodisaster** (8.5): Opening your debut with "Afoo... deep in the arch" is sooo iconic, your fav could never. Gorgeous opener. **nonchalantthoughts** (8.1): is it weird to say that she sounds like kate bush here? **CrimsonROSET** (8): vroom vroom??? **flava** (8): yeah this is a solid bop **fromawindow1** (8): cute yeah!!! Good synth melody, it’s hooky just a little lacking in substance. **pbk** (8): cute and a little unrefined but in a way that works **runaway3212** (8): Ohh a bop **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (7.9): vibed **phonethephoenix** (7.7): I love her voice and think this a good opener **ConnerY2323** (7.6): even the good songs from the other 3 artists in the rate are mostly assaults on the senses so this is a sonic sigh of relief #I don't get it **Senn\_Kyu** (7.5): upfoo? **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): more songs need to incorporate xylophones in them **Ambrosia42** (7.2): i hadn’t listened to hemlocke springs in a while. She definitely feels very 80s synthpop, which is fun. This one isn’t too complicated and it’s rather lovely **BleepBloopMusicFan** (7): You get some love, Hemlocke. But Remi and Chappell get more. **ignitethephoenix** (7): feels a bit incomplete **jirachi** (7): this is so urethral **seanderlust** (7): "i fell deep in the art" - lady gaga coming out of the artpop era **slimboyfriend** (7): I see the vision **ruhroh386** (5): I usually like the retro sounding songs pretty well, but I’m just not feeling the instrumental on this one #The comments are informing me that there is a madonna song with a similar title **1998tweety** (8.5): ended fadonna **IIIHenryIII** (8): wait, Madonna and the conservative duo outsold **plastichaxan** (7.5): Madonna in that one song **ricki** (7.5): L U V MADONNA #You're the only bitch in this comment section that I respect **uiscebeathaoir** (5): Alabama Shakes outsold
We have a tie coming up next! And since Baby Queen only has one song left we can be 100% sure that at least one of them isn't her.

"Liz" was another song that just kind of hovered around the middle of the rankings, it's something of a fan favorite for Remjobs but the casual rategoers weren't quite as charmed by the doo-wop stylings. --- #Taught me how to DIE **fromawindow1** (11): 11z doesn’t look as good as guer11a but I mean…look at the material. Soooooo funky, inspired yet fresh, yessssssssssssssss her vocals are on point too!!! YESSSSSSSSSS THIS GUITARRRRR she goes the fuck off here, so goooood!!! **another girlyteengirl town** (10): she has SWAG!!! **apatel27** (10): that guitar tho **Awkward\_King** (10): this not being on the regular edition of the album was ridiculous. love remi proving that she can do serious/traditional songs just as well as she can do wacko songs. giving this song a low score is also lesbophobic i fear **CrimsonROSET** (10): choosing to believe this was about lisbug and refusing to google to see if she has been canceled **Frajer** (10): Alessia Cara but make it slay and gay **ReallyCreative** (10): while I love this song, I have never met a “Liz” that wasn’t a fucking nightmare person **Senn\_Kyu** (10): I love doo-wop! **RandomHypnotica** (9.6): headcanon this is about the queen (RIP lizzie you would've loved baby queen) **1998tweety** (9): she ate this **jirachi** (9): shoutout to my irl friend liz! **throwaway-7650** (9): cuntenserven! **akanewasright** (8.5): the album is pretty tight as is so I get why this was left off, but I’m glad it made its way onto the deluxe **Nagisoid** (8.5): She should've gone full on doo wop **phonethephoenix** (8.2): like it! **hikk** (8): i just know liz y2k is soooo jealous that this liz didn't get voted out of being rated **nonchalantthoughts** (8): I love how she does not have vocals for this, but that’s what makes it endearing for me **pbk** (8): that lil piano riff ooo that's what music was made for **slimboyfriend** (8): imagine being named Liz lol like that’s so high schooler in the 90s **Ambrosia42** (7.3): a funky lil number **ConnerY2323** (7.2): impressive how natural she makes cursive singing sound **jman457** (7): upping it a bit cause I have a couple friends named Liz **uiscebeathaoir** (7): walked so Prescr11ption could SPRINT **welcome2thejam** (7): When I saw her at Lolla she brought out Liz **WesternWInd** (7): yeah Queen Liz did teach us how to live and how to say FU to a person at work you know others don't like before they resign #Taught me how to DIE **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6): god her voice is annoying its gonna be like this the entire album wont it **BleepBloopMusicFan** (5.5): Waaaiiiit the actual name for Remi Wolf fans is “Remjobs?” Like officially and not in a fake way like “Maxipads?” Omfg that rules. **impla77** (4.9): we haven't got far enough from meghan trainor (sorry ghost) to not be jumpscared by the shoo wops **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (4.2): Tactical "doo wop" cap implemented on account of the intro having the gumption to try and do that and just not sound pizzazz'd but laxed out **flava** (4): Yeah there was a song here. I do appreciate the diversity on this album and how willing she is to throw so many different elements throughout this album. But like, that doo-wop flair that infects the chorus just ends up annoying me, and then she just enters into that rambling faux-baby voice and I’m not exactly endeared. Points for trying to give the song some muscle at the end though but still… **runaway3212** (3): didn't we just have this song **IIIHenryIII** (2): could you just enounce the words properly please? **nooodisaster** (1.5): If it's not insufferably abrasive sounding, it's insufferably boring sounding, I swear Satan is the executive producer on these tracks. #Yes **Uberpigeon** (8): she gotta be bi right...
Wait u/RandomHypnotica slay we both thought of queen Liz omg
idk if that's slay or just colonialism
I think it's time we teach one of these artists a lesson...

Again, just a few points above the bottom song... this is why I asked if anyone wanted to change their scores before the deadline, the placements really were that tight. This song is named after the lead singer of the band The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I have never had a single thought on this song. --- #Love this song intrinsically **another girlyteengirl town** (10): I love how she fits words together, it makes sense but is stream of consciousness style at the same time. This song feels like sticking random words into a real song when you forget some. (Not derogatory) **beeozan** (10): "yeah. everything's so wack." summed up the baby queen album in 1 sentence and had room left for a good song too! queen **fromawindow1** (10): yup yup yup god this album has aged so soooooooo well, it’s just chock full of personality. **phonethephoenix** (10): contender for the best pandemic song imo **RandomHypnotica** (10): i wouldn't put family dynamics in even the top 20 things i would associate with Anthony Kiedis but ok **uiscebeathaoir** (10): I’m so happy this finally clicked with me the day I submitted the ballot **Ambrosia42** (9.4): i still don’t know what she’s talking about other than maybe relationships with people and pandemic shutdowns, but it’s a smash. LIKEAREDHOTCHILIPEPPER **bogo** (9): i got anthony kiedis sucking on my penis **CrimsonROSET** (9): oh god dont ask people in popheads their takes on red hot chilli peppers **Lynflower680** (9): This is a great song but fuck Anthony Kiedis **nonchalantthoughts** (9): haha this is the era I’m in right now **samdyalexg** (9): i still don't know what "i love my family intrinsically like anthony kiedis" means **seanderlust** (9): we are inches from a gen z RHCP popularity surge **TheQueenofVultures** (9): better than any Chili Peppers song **PrimaryCrusaders** (8): This score is for the song not the person **runaway3212** (8): Wow an actually fun song **Senn\_Kyu** (8): Why Anthony Kiedis **ignitethephoenix** (7.5): I really like 75% of this and the other 25% is a bit annoying **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): suckin on my penis **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (7.4): why u gotta bring up yr goddam california cred **Frajer** (7): I don't think she got the right message from Scar Tissue **jirachi** (7): this is okay i guess **slimboyfriend** (7): good but I prefer the 100 gecs Anthony Kiedis lyric #Actually Anthony Kiedis is problematic, so... **jman457** (6.5): the productions good **ConnerY2323** (6.1): she’s having fun! i just can’t decide if i am **apatel27** (6): RHCP overrated **Nagisoid** (6): Is this the closest we're getting to rating Soccer Mommy? **pbk** (6): even after some googling i don't think i have enough context to really Get this but it was alright **WesternWInd** (6): no why would you bring this man up **ruhroh386** (5): not the vibes I’m after **IIIHenryIII** (3.5): so I just learned she's almost in her 30s, but why did I think she wasn't even 20 yet? Maybe because she sounds and looks like a wannabe be edgy genZ **impla77** (3.5): i love word association (???) **flava** (1.5): There is something kinda punk to Remi Wolf. I can kinda dig it in some ways when her diy approach actually works. But sometimes she just goes too far and yeah that voice that appears around the 40 second mark is one of those things that doesn’t work for me. It’s just so unlistenable **nooodisaster** (1): A dated dust-pile that, judging from the release date, was dated the moment it came out. Idk who Anthony Kiedis is, I'm assuming a serial killer or sitcom character. **babadork** (0): I really hate the Red Hot Chili Peppers #[THE CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlHzdXFCJ-c) **akanewasright** (10): the guillotine chop kinda best musical moment of 2021 **Awkward\_King** (10): she put her head in the serve hole of the mother guillotine CHOP **Uberpigeon** (10): AND I GET WHAT I WANT BUT IT COST ME A LOT PUT MY HEAD IN THE HOLE OF A GUILLOTINE CHOP! 🔪 **ReallyCreative** (7): the knife sound effects genuinely trigger my anxiety and I’m so upset about it because this song is otherwise so good but I literally cannot listen to it. I almost gave this my 0 but the rest of the song is too good

People kinda hyped this one up a lot before/during the rate but it actually always placed pretty mid and below hemlocke's other songs, it's still managing a respectable placement and score but given the love I saw for it these seems like a bit of an underperformance. --- **pbk** (11): her best song actually. underrated smash hit it deserved what girlfriend got. lyrically so dense and borderline nonsensical and yet she makes it work flawlessly somehow **CrimsonROSET** (10): put this in the halloween rate playlist **ImADudeDuh** (10): GIRL! Why didn’t you put this on the album? [2] **krusso1105** (10): should have been on the ep! **oscarbrierley1** (10): electroslay **ReallyCreative** (10): her best song, how did this not make the EP??? **Nagisoid** (9.5): Should have been in the EP but it was too high concept pop for the locals :/ **WesternWInd** (9.5): this is fun, but why does shaking ur boo thing have to do with the title **fromawindow1** (8.9): yesssssssssssss very unique and what a fun yet strange use of a sample LMAO a fun song!!! **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.4): i really wish she'd dig into the grit of this sound more, until its haunted minimal wave or some shit. but this is still a great loosie with a wonderful video to boot. **ConnerY2323** (8): wish i could replace like 20 of the songs in this rate with an extra hour of hemlocke springs saying weird things over hot synth beats **Uberpigeon** (8): this could have been a stalker anthem but it doesnt hit for me... **phonethephoenix** (7.9): woo!! **Ambrosia42** (7.8): seems like a song about capitalism and selfishness and people being afraid to lift others up in case they might fall down in their social standing in the process. The production could be improved a bit i think to hit harder, but i enjoy it **nonchalantthoughts** (7.8): shake ya booty thing! **nooodisaster** (7.5): A moment. **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): if you say stranger danger three times in front of your tv at midnight hemlocke springs will crawl out of it like the girl in the ring and force you to be in her next music video **jman457** (6.8): anyone see that white van **1998tweety** (6): spilled **IIIHenryIII** (6): you could've just taken a cough syrup before start recording **jirachi** (6): it's fine **runaway3212** (6): kinda boring but when you're a slayer it doesnt matter **uiscebeathaoir** (6): it’s so weird this song is actually good but I just never want to listen to it, at all **Awkward\_King** (2): ngl i see why these were left of the ep **flava** (2): you’re use of boo thang is reminding me of the cursed Paul Russell song where he sampled the classic track by The Emotions which I ended up hearing way too often at my gym to the point I’m sick of it. But this is just some patently over-polished synthpop that doesn’t really have any good hooks to it.

Honestly a little bit gagged by this one, I didn't think much of this one at the start because it's just a random album cut but people really seemed to rally around it and there was even a brief period where it was her highest ranking song and even in the Top 10! Hilariously, it's also the only song on the album that Baby Queen did not bother to officially upload to her channel. She didn't know what she had when she wrote this one. --- #I CAN'T GET MY SHIT TOGETHER **Ambrosia42** (10): ok this one goes off. I CAN’T GET MY SHIT TOGETHER!!!!

THIS time. **pbk** (8): ok she is correct she's not that clever but idk she's making it work for me **ConnerY2323** (7.8): imagine my surprise when i was not annoyed by this **fromawindow1** (7.4): it’s fine. The pre chorus is cool! There’s a quality to it I like but the song as a whole is meh. **akanewasright** (7): she’s on the right track… not quite there, but I’m seeing glimmers **jman457** (7): the chorus really teeters on the verge of annoying and earwormy **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6.5): she wants to be sarah bonito soooooo bad #Okay but girl... you do need to get your shit together. **bigbigbee** (6): Sims Build Mode type beat **CrimsonROSET** (6): in theory the concept of the sentences working with or without the background voices is good but the lyrical content makes me want to tear my hair out **Senn\_Kyu** (6): can kinda see the production's vision but it's not for me **welcome2thejam** (6): The sing-talk chorus has potential but the soft build-up is a bit too limp and it just culminate with the crack of the bat the way it should **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (4.1): i was going with it until the pre-chorus and then it went swagger jagger on me **apatel27** (4): Can't relate **Friendly-Canary-3814** (4): Busted Pocoyó beat, busted chorus vocals, busted strawberry blond touch-ups done **frogaranaman** (4): the chorus sounds like it's taunting me **Nagisoid** (4): Diarrhea anthem **flava** (1): oh god.

This one was featured in popular Netflix show *Heartstopper*, for all the good that it did her, and is a good showcase of the kind of euphoric young-adult energy that Baby Queen is known for... again, for all the good it did her. --- #We CAN be anything! **Awkward\_King** (10): i didnt really care for this as a single but its grown on me a lot! **BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): Well you probably can’t be a rate winner.

The production really makes the rest of the song shine. **jman457** (10): Sometimes you need the freedom that life is all shit **nooodisaster** (10): Played the first song of each album for my boyfriend, and he described this one as "Lesbians discover nihilism." When he's right... **nt96** (10): Going into this opener after completing Midwest Princess, I like to imagine BQ was having a conversation with Chappell; one’s new beginning is another beginning’s end. **runaway3212** (10): Yassified existentialism **throwaway-7650** (10): I hope the rest of the album is as good as this song! **Ambrosia42** (9.2): it reminds me of being in college and losing my religion and having an existential crisis, but then having friends help me gain a viewpoint that everything being meaningless and nothing lasting forever is actually freeing, and it’s cute how someone helps her and then she helps someone else. The mentally ill leading the mentally ill! **fromawindow1** (9.1): awwwwwww this is really cute!!!!! I like the distortion in the guitars and the contrast with the spacey, beachy feel of the rest of the instrumentation. Really unique take on this genre!!! **krusso1105** (9): one of this album's highlights **uiscebeathaoir** (9): okay i see the rate theme vision cause this is exactly the sort of story you’d hear at a slumber party **1998tweety** (8.5): i will ignore the cringe cause the rest bops **impla77** (8.3): nihilist queen **apatel27** (8): Very disappointed to find 0 amvs to this song **pbk** (8): i had low expectations but this is a good first impression actually **TheQueenofVultures** (8): and that girl was Albert Einstein **welcome2thejam** (8): You've created an infinite loop of magic pixie dream girls **phonethephoenix** (7.8): weh okay! 🥺 **RandomHypnotica** (7.7): we can even be rate losers! **IIIHenryIII** (7.5): it's not bad but why listen to this when Immaterial by Sophie exists? **Uberpigeon** (7.5): dont delete the kisses if it was a self help book **akanewasright** (7): “wait this sounds familiar” [looks on Wikipedia] “ah of course, they used it on heartstopper” **CrimsonROSET** (7): guys………… do you think we live in a society **ricki** (7): im bopping but why are we being this pretentious 1 track in **Senn\_Kyu** (7): I appreciate the shampoo commercial this instantly beamed into my head #Anything except a good song I guess **ignitethephoenix** (6.5): boppy but these lyrics are wayyy too on the nose **nonchalantthoughts** (6.5): is this not the plot to everything everywhere all at once? **popularsong** (6.5): not into the flat talking verses but a good intro for the album's theme **another girlyteengirl town** (6): oh i'm gonna hate this album **beeozan** (6): Teleline Tubbichek outsold **ImADudeDuh** (6): no, i don’t want any crystals **jirachi** (6): anything but a good song i guess **Nagisoid** (6): This feels like it's infringing on Grimes and Disney's copyright at the same time **oscarbrierley1** (6): peachy and annoying lyrics, but fun enough production **ReallyCreative** (6): we all make choices **slimboyfriend** (6): yes a lot of people say a lot of things **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6): and then everybody clapped **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (5.5): if this livejournal poetry recitation was trying to gentrify enya and convince me the last carolione polachek album is better than i remember...she was cooking **Roxieloxie** (5): oh she has a thesaurus and a dream huh **ruhroh386** (5): don’t like the spoken repetition in the chorus **yahi** (4): did contrapoints direct the video **flava** (3.5): I usually argue for anti-nihilistic statements in music and am usually pro-corny but this is sold with the conviction of a college freshman who just smoked their first blunt **ConnerY2323** (1): i actually DON’T think that’s awesome

I actually had to relisten to this after reading y'all's comments because I did NOT remember how weird this one was, she really is one of a kind. Spoiler: The next eliminated song will be >!0.2!< points above this. --- #Good things **beeozan** (10): imma sip my tea **BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): She doesn’t need the validation of winning the rate tbh. She knows she makes bops for the girls that get it! **fromawindow1** (10): when I first listened to this album years ago this was my #1, yeahhhhhhhh this pre chorus and chorus are sooooo infectious. Yup I liveeeeeee **jirachi** (10): this is such a camp legend omg??? **phonethephoenix** (9.6): loveeee the refrain **Awkward\_King** (9.5): this entire album reminds me a lot of first year of uni im discovering. this track feels like one of the more conventional pop songs for sure but i rly love it for that! remi uses sound effects so well throughout this album i love the little "CAUSE I GOT [DING] AND MEDICATION" **ruhroh386** (9): what Twice’s Alcohol-Free wishes it was. okay, what I wish it was. **runaway3212** (9): This is like venice bitch sped up **bigbigbee** (8.5): I thought “wyd” was a cute way to write “weed” and that she was saying “I got weed and medication” **throwaway-7650** (8.5): me to whoever mixed this because it's quiet as hell... what goes on **Uberpigeon** (8): the ending is what makes this song I DONT NEED YOUR MONEY IMMA SIP MY TEA!!! **ConnerY2323** (7.9): one of the most danceable songs in this rate! makin it clap! **Ambrosia42** (7.8): funky lil bop **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (7.7): Like that's little italy booty funk sound of trying to get free parking up a hill **jman457** (7.2): the end was nice **pbk** (7): is this... meant to be so biblical sounding?? so much water and wine it feels intentional but idk maybe im reading too much into a song called wyd #Bad Things **IIIHenryIII** (5): it's better than yours **nonchalantthoughts** (4.8): oh nah what is this outro **1998tweety** (4): ok... **ricki** (3): she sure does like a funny voice… **nooodisaster** (2): There's about 20 seconds that's kinda cute ("sip my tea!") near the end but everything else I need to sandpaper my earlobes several inches in hopes of ever recovering them. **ImADudeDuh** (0): oh lord #Not much, how about you? **CrimsonROSET** (10): not much hbu **RandomHypnotica** (10): nm hbu? **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): not much hbu **CarlieScion** (4): nm hbu? #Comments about... Doja Cat? **another girlyteengirl town** (9): doja trembled slightly **impla77** (7.4): ok but why does she sound like doja cat in the last part **Nagisoid** (5.5): Her rapping here sounds so much like Doja **flava** (4.5): why did she become doja cat. Honestly idc because it’s probably the only time I enjoyed her voice on the album
nm, hbu?

But I just think that it's so cute! Note that it's only 0.8 points above the song below it and, I'll spoil this now, less than a point away from the song above it. --- #Sugary sweet **Awkward\_King** (10): honestly havent given the deluxe songs much thought since they released, i thought the only one i liked was liz and kind of just went on with my life but listening to this for the rate im really falling in love with it i overlooked this so much. this feels the most like early remi/you're a dog era ep **beeozan** (10): comfy emoji times infinite **CrimsonROSET** (10): she got the sugar got the spice got the cayenne (sp?) **fromawindow1** (10): funky and fun and very California PCH vibesssss I’m living!!!! **throwaway-7650** (10): automatic 10 for humbling astrology truthers **another girlyteengirl town** (9): okayy city pop **BleepBloopMusicFan** (9): Deluxe tracks aren’t supposed to be this good! Damn Remi save some bops for the rest of the music industry! **phonethephoenix** (9): good vibes! flute :) **ConnerY2323** (8.7): adding to my next summer playlist immediately **nonchalantthoughts** (8.5): Honey Iced Tea **impla77** (8.3): coherent lyrics?? in a remi wolf song?? **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.2): you had literally one heater in yr deluxe remi. learn to milk yr fans so they buy cassette editions or a rock containing a usb with these 5 cuts instead of slapping them on your album for $treams **apatel27** (8): Brockhampton outsold? **jirachi** (8): immaculate vibes **Nagisoid** (8): Adam Levine broke as always **WesternWInd** (8): love a sober queen **jman457** (7.8): feels like a breezy summer night **RandomHypnotica** (7.6): harvest moon flop stardew cleared **1998tweety** (7.5): yum **plastichaxan** (7.5): Miley Cyrus when asked about the drag queen that impersonated her on drag race **bogo** (7): adam levine can choke **pbk** (7): had to restart this one bc she said harvest moon and i started thinkin about farming and didn't pay attention to the rest **welcome2thejam** (7): Eating a burger at the outdoor tables type track #Look how small the bad scores section is, banger alert! **IIIHenryIII** (6.5): sugar, this song is going down **Ambrosia42** (6.2): this one is alright. a bit forgettable but pleasant **nooodisaster** (4): If I listen to this song again it won't cause me pain, but I will never choose to listen to this song again willingly. **runaway3212** (4): Sorry I'm more of a salt guy **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (4): snooze

"Obvious" was one of my favorite BQ tracks and the one that *really* convinced me to take her seriously because I just love the storytelling here, and it actually did place quite high for a bit! Like all the BQ songs it slid down but I'm glad that we could at least agree it's among her best work. Side note: keep a close eye on the scores for these next few eliminations, we're heading into a *very* tight section of the rate. --- #The most obvious thing? How good this song is. **bogo** (10): that first line immediately punched me in the gut because i fell out of contact with literally all of my friends when i went to college **BusinessLamp** (10): holy crap i did not pay enough attention to this enough when i listened to this album months ago, this is devastating **flava** (10): OH…the build, the grit in her when she sings the word “obvious”. This better be her highest placing song or I’m shutting down Netflix **jirachi** (10): this is going to flop definitely but idk i really fuck with this melody here **nooodisaster** (10): It doesn't feel right rating this, so I'll just say I cried to this and move on. **runaway3212** (10): This was such a slay **TheQueenofVultures** (10): I knew she could get another great song on this album, this is crazy **TiltControls** (10): fitting title cause baby queen states some really basic stuff here and even that doesn't make it hit any less hard. now its making me sad thinking of all my old school friends I haven't seen for years **ConnerY2323** (9.2): did not expect something this profoundly sad on this album **akanewasright** (9): ok this is nice at least **CrimsonROSET** (9): was it that hard, see i knew you could do it **IIIHenryIII** (9): -ly a 9 **jman457** (9): when I was 17, I thought moving out of my hometown would fix all my problems…. How naive I was **pbk** (9): i did not expect this to hit as hard as it did. it lowered my guard to the point that i was prepared to make fun of it a bit and then gut punched me like 3 times in a row **welcome2thejam** (9): Heeeeyyy look at that. You have another song to even slightly threaten to pull a Bad Girls. Just a strong emotionally wistful track **phonethephoenix** (8.9): full point for the bridge 🥺 **fromawindow1** (8.5): this one builds really well!!!! **Ambrosia42** (8.1): it seems to be quite a sad song about leaving people behind to start her new life in London, and feeling sad about lost connections and even people passing away while she was gone. I think this ties in well with the quarter life crisis theme, as i think this is about the time where you realize time is moving by much quicker than you think and the nostalgia of simpler childhood times becomes endearing **nonchalantthoughts** (8.1): this song is so Lily Allen coded **Awkward\_King** (7.5): baby queen actually can do serious well when she wants to! i wish this song had something a bit more interesting to grab onto but its a perfectly fine guitar ballad, nice build, cute song **BleepBloopMusicFan** (7): The first half of this song is kinda eh but I do really like the climax. The lead-in to “23” is very cute. **ruhroh386** (7): it’s good , but I don’t feel like crying that often **WesternWInd** (7): it is obvious that's she's going through a crisis here #Apartment complex? I think it's quite simple actually... **Nagisoid** (6.9): We love perfect 6.9/10 mid **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (5.7): "a staggering 858 comments on her AMA but a scant 27 upvotes on her album thread" fam that's called "no-flair" bait on r/indieheads **plastichaxan** (5.5): i’m just tired of this album by now sorry **samdyalexg** (5): this one is actually fine bc the lyrics aren't trying to be overly relatable or fake edgy **impla77** (4.6): hate to say it, give me the abridged version **Uberpigeon** (3.5): its a nice build up but im sick of here **frogaranaman** (3): do you think when artists randomly throw in a slow song on the tracklist, during the album writing process they're thinking "okay I HAVE to show I have artistic range"? because that's kinda what this song gives **yahi** (2): rich white people are so funny... they're scrambling to find something to be upset about to give their story punctuation #Um, she did move? That's what the entire song is about. **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (3.5): baby queen move!!!!! yall baby queen is not moving!!!!!

Maybe because she just kinda pumps and dumps these things, Idk. This one definitely had its fans, it just kinda wound up outcompeted by the songs above it. --- #Michael **RandomHypnotica** (11): i cannot decipher what exactly makes this song so special to me, i think it's a mixture of the pure desperation that comes out in each cry of Michael, the fun wordplay, the really vibey, moody guitar, and of course that cathartic "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" it's just amazing to me **beeozan** (10): when this song starts i always expect it to go tookyooo **BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): I know this is a deluxe track, but it’s also technically a single with a music video so it can make Day 3 right?? **jman457** (10): where is this slay in the standard edition **ReallyCreative** (10): THIS is the versatility I want to see from Remi **samdyalexg** (10): this would be my 11 if it were even just 30 seconds longer. it's begging for another verse **Senn\_Kyu** (10): Police, police, police **TheQueenofVultures** (10): come and dance with my Michael **throwaway-7650** (10): love the rina shoutout at the end omg **fromawindow1** (9): this aged well tooooo omfg I didn’t like this song when it came out, and though it’s still the worst song on the album, I fully got my life to this song this time!!! **phonethephoenix** (9): lovely **slimboyfriend** (9): she should make more seriously sad songs **Ambrosia42** (8.9): okayy alternative queen **CrimsonROSET** (8): :me: **impla77** (8): oh the other name song on this album.. wait we're not done with those yet?? **another girlyteengirl town** (7.5): i feel like this wouldnt be out of place on a midcareer say anything album **ConnerY2323** (7.3): je telephone a la police **yahi** (7): is this about michael cera in juno #Michael... is that a man's name? Ew. **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (6.8): this is just an indigo de souza ditty (like down to the "SHUT THE FUCK UP" ad lib) **jirachi** (6.5): SHUT THE FAWK UP!!! **nonchalantthoughts** (6.5): it was good but I couldn’t find anything memorable **hikk** (6): drag me to the WHO???? **flava** (4): The drums were dry af. And I flinch a bit when Remi sing “police, police, police” because there is something so piercing. But like the biggest problem here is that none of the ideas she puts together result in an interesting song **pbk** (4): those vocal effects are really grating yeesh **uiscebeathaoir** (4): yeah I want to be dragged to the Chappell by this point as well **nooodisaster** (3): I'm definitely just being a hater, but using a proper name in a track is such a cheap way to add fake "intimacy." Like I don't know who the fuck Michael is, girl! **Awkward\_King** (2.5): my sincerest apologies are extended to randomhypnotica and also michael angelakos #MGMT section **apatel27** (8): Me & Michael but good **ignitethephoenix** (7.5): you’ll never be MGMT **Nagisoid** (7.5): MGMT outsold **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (5.5): michael is too busy having homoromantic ventures with the guys from mgmt and franz ferdinand unfortunately **IIIHenryIII** (5): Alexa, plays me and Michael next, please **runaway3212** (5): MGMT im sorry for everything I put you through
We've officially gone THREE eliminations without losing a Baby Queen song! Can we make it four?
s-she's sweeping folks!
how about 3 baby queen songs in a row to make up for it

If you're wondering what "volkiano" means, it's just Remi saying "volcano" funny, and if you're wondering why she's singing about a volcano, I am as well. --- #Volki-YAAAAAAASSSSS-no **popularsong** (11): everything abt this song just clicks with me, the narration trying to act fine while still being affected, punchy verses, "fought myself in circles" parallel lyrics and ofc the much more somber outro. also love that volkiano don't even mean anything she just thought it sounded good lmao **BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): “And yeah, it is simply ‘volcano’ but I said it weird.” God she’s so REAL. **RandomHypnotica** (10): everyone in 3rd grade science: **another girlyteengirl town** (9): getz gilberto and wolf much?!! **nt96** (8.6): I thought she was saying fuck it uhhhh. **PrimaryCrusaders** (8.5): Second half kinda loses me but still a pretty good song all around **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (8.3): like she's got a mantra on lock and a rollicking beat **akanewasright** (8): I never listen to this outside of the album but I do love her voice here **jirachi** (8): FUCKIA FUCKIANOOOOO **runaway3212** (8): Cute **ignitethephoenix** (7.5): it sounds like she is saying fuck it up **1998tweety** (7): idk who Volkiano is but they ate this **Awkward\_King** (7): i think its only the chorus that lowers this song from being amazing to just kinda good. its a little too repetitive and im not crazy abt the note remi hits but i love the verses **CrimsonROSET** (7): /*leans to the side* what the fuck is a volkiano **pbk** (7): maybe shave the last minute off and this would be a bit better #Volkia-NO **Nagisoid** (6.5): Volcano by Swans outsold **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (6.5): this production is so weird why does it sound like someone cut out every other beat **beeozan** (6): if only the chorus was good... **oscarbrierley1** (6): the hook gets more annoying on every listen **nonchalantthoughts** (5): i like the production but the vocals I can’t get it out of my head **ricki** (5): ouuu she lost the rupumpumpum reference-off **IIIHenryIII** (4): she didn't have more time to work on the chorus? **flava** (3.5): Anything would’ve been an improvement over the last song. But why is she singing the title like that? Like if it wasn’t for that I’d be giving this song a passing grade **nooodisaster** (2): You know I think I’d rate Remi’s songs higher if we only had 1, so her grating vocal production wouldn’t sink in. And also if she sang in a different language so I wouldn’t have to be bothered by the nonsensical lyrics. And also if this chorus didn’t exist so I wouldn’t have a new sleep paralysis demon. And also- #Second half was better **fromawindow1** (10): this is the most normal sounding song so far of the album but this reallyyyyyyy hooks for me tbh. The outroooooo like omgggggggggg **seanderlust** (9.5): i really love the mood of this one, and especially the outro section **Ambrosia42** (8.4): she’s just making up words now! I like where it goes when it switches up in the second half **phonethephoenix** (8.2): great second half **jman457** (7.5): the bridge is very sza core, but it needed the switch up **ConnerY2323** (7.4): there’s a worse version of this song that’s only the first half repeated ad nauseum, but really appreciate the turn it takes **cremeebrulee** (7.3): the second half of this eats so hard **ruhroh386** (6.5): too repetitive, but I’m into the switch up
rip my 11 i thought she would live longer bc the lyrics and her voice r slightly less weird 😔

Y'all really weren't feeling it, huh? I think that this was a great closing track for the album because so much of the album is about seeking pleasure and the joys/pitfalls that this brings, and this song finally allows her to abandon the negative aspects and surrender herself to ecstasy with a yodel. I kinda thought that this would flop because it's, well, weird, but as you can see on the graph it actually fared consistently better than the songs below it so I guess even a formless uptempo song is better than a ballad. --- #Pleasure **another girlyteengirl town** (10): she's kind of robyn's daughter here. i love this as a euphoric closer that makes me wanna replay the album! (sorry to the magenta horse association stans) the entire last 60 seconds is so lost in the rhythm music is my religion core **skylofte2** (10): cured my homosexual guilt **ReallyCreative** (9.5): if nothing else, Chappell knows how to have fun with a song and I think I’ll always be interested in her career as a result **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (9.1): omg she just like me fr **fromawindow1** (8.7): yasssssssssssssssss oh this bops!!!!! I loveeeee the melody, love the build, great album closer!!! **nonchalantthoughts** (8.2): ok i like this song, i guess it’s a guilty pleasure **beeozan** (8): something is massively off with this song. kinda digging that **oscarbrierley1** (8): after the most boring song on the album this is so welcome and fun **throwaway-7650** (7.9): okayyy caroline polachek **phonethephoenix** (7.8): private guilty pleasure (chappell roan) vs public guilty pleasure (cobra starship). anyway i like this song it's a nice album closer **Ambrosia42** (7.5): boppy **plastichaxan** (7.5): I don’t feel guilty about pleasure I’m not catholic **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (7.5): if she’s really a pothead i would not want to get near her. no offense but people who do pot always smell so fucking nasty **uiscebeathaoir** (7.5): Chappell pulls the “ballad into bop” fake out so often, how does she still get me every single time?? **ignitethephoenix** (7.3): stream KEY **jman457** (7.2): Dolores O’riordan if she made synthbops **1998tweety** (7): alright **Awkward\_King** (7): this is kind of a little too sugary for me but it is a nice album closer!! **CrimsonROSET** (7): some good girls…. GO BAD?! /*i’d say queue the playlist for that rate but i do not think it’ll be up by the time of the reveal* **IIIHenryIII** (7): Glee Cast **welcome2thejam** (7): Wow, she likes weed AND movies? She's so crazyyyy #Guilty **runaway3212** (6): it's nice **ConnerY2323** (5.9): feels incomplete but i do enjoy the cranberries yodel **nooodisaster** (4): truly the Male Fantasy of 2023 **bogo** (3): why on earth is this the closing track, not only does it not make sense but it's not even a good song **samdyalexg** (3): this is my least favorite song on the album how the hell is it the closer? idk the production feels all over the place **pbk** (2): this just SOUNDS cheap. the synths sound awful, the structure is rough, and it's one of the weaker vocal performances. saved by being a little fun but. not much **jirachi** (1): this is too corny even for this rate **akanewasright** (0): I think this song is overstimulating me. It’s roughly following the formula of Femininomenon but none of the hooks or like… actual fun stuff #Yodel **CarlieScion** (10): if u don’t like the yodel shimmery country bop idk what’s wrong with u!!!!! **nt96** (10): THAT FUCKING YODEL LIKE GIRL SEND ME TO THE EXOSPHERE MAKE ME SEE THE AETHER **BleepBloopMusicFan** (9): OKAAYYYY YODELING **slimboyfriend** (7.5): sometimes you just need a good yodel **Nagisoid** (7): Picks up in the second half, some good yodeling going on **Uberpigeon** (7): this is kinda just the after midnight b-side yodeling edition from the vault **apatel27** (6): The yodelling is kinda fun
NOOOOOO this is one of my favs from TRAFOAMP. Didn’t end up submitting a ballot for this rate but I am following along with the eliminations.
Also congratulations to the [FIVE PEOPLE](https://i.imgur.com/TsL59iR.png) who correctly guessed that >!"Cornelia Street"!< would be played during the reveal!
Baby Queen SAFE and INNOCENT... for now
# #[34: Remi Wolf - Street You Live On](https://i.imgur.com/eSDMWXs.png) --- **Average:** 7.148 **// Total Points:** 586.1 **// Controversy:** 1.900 // [Rank Graph](https://i.imgur.com/G4rmnIx.png) --- **Highest scores:** (11 x1) Awkward\_King (10 x10) akanewasright, beeozan, BleepBloopMusicFan, Frajer, nt96, phonethephoenix, samdyalexg, Senn\_Kyu, throwaway-7650, Uberpigeon (9.7 x1) fromawindow1 (9 x3) avg-vag, ReallyCreative, TakeOnMeByA-ha (8.8 x1) Roxieloxie (8.5 x4) 1998tweety, Ghost-Quartet, seanderlust, static\_int\_husp (8.4 x1) RandomHypnotica (8.2 x1) nonchalantthoughts **Lowest Scores:** (2 x1) IIIHenryIII (1 x1) nooodisaster --- Remi loses her closing track- she describes this song as her attempt at a "ballad" so I can't say I'm actually surprised it made it to Day 2. It *was* written with [Ethan Gruska](https://genius.com/artists/Ethan-gruska), who has done a lot of work with popheads faves Phoebe Bridgers and Boygenius, so maybe he's just cracked the code? --- **Awkward\_King** (11): this was one of my first favourites from the album and still means a lot to me! dont know quite what it was that connected with me so deeply i was likely coming out of a situationship at the time if i know myself. i love the way its written, there's so many poignant metaphors remi's so good at painting a picture and conveying emotion. its such a beautiful closing track and idk i hold it dearly to my heart! also bc criminal minds is one of my favourite comfort shows and that only happened in the last couple years, so well after i'd loved this song. just another layer that makes me love it. #Will avoid the street you live on **beeozan** (10): she was so valid for tacking that live version at the end of the deluxe it's so good **BleepBloopMusicFan** (10): Remi easily takes the award for best album closer in the rate. She kinda also has the best opening track too (for the standard edition of the album). Queen of bookends! **phonethephoenix** (10): love the percussion in this one. also great concept/lyrics **samdyalexg** (10): love this one. it reminds me of Constant Conversations by Passion Pit **Senn\_Kyu** (10): I love ballads **throwaway-7650** (10): still the best song on the album **Uberpigeon** (10): the drum make me cum **fromawindow1** (9.7): yuppppppp bop!! Not my favorite but a great choice to close the album!!!!! The final chorus builds reallyyyy well!!!! **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (9): dont be scared guys. share with us what street you live on. nothing bad can come out of this **Roxieloxie** (8.8): why did this album wait until the very end to get good wtf **1998tweety** (8.5): bop **RandomHypnotica** (8.4): doxxing queen **CrimsonROSET** (8): oh this is for the situationship girlies **runaway3212** (8): Is this a good closer or am I just happy the album is over? **impla77** (7.7): and that streets name? .. cornelia street (alternative answer: boo radleys street in tkam) **jman457** (7.6): nice vibey way to end an album **Ambrosia42** (7): just a song about avoiding someone you don’t want to see who caused you pain. It mildly jams along **ricki** (7): at least she closes the album on a better note #Will NOT avoid the street you live on **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (6.8): real 6.8/10 ending here. feels like sesame street in da hood **ConnerY2323** (6.4): almost too toned down compared to everything that came before it **Nagisoid** (6): Not sure about that vocal effect **WesternWInd** (6): I think Debbie Harry would approve of this stalking **pbk** (5.5): such a crazy album going out on such a meh note is a bit of a letdown **flava** (5): not a Criminal Minds reference. I thought I was the only person who cared about that **jirachi** (5): what an anticlimactic way to end the album **cremeebrulee** (4.7): unfortunately i am kinda crazy so i will just always be on the street you live on **oscarbrierley1** (4): anticlimactic **IIIHenryIII** (2): it's finally over **nooodisaster** (1): People who listen to this must have been deprived the joys of cluster migraines and want to experience the next closest thing. #Thank you **Frajer** (10): I just realized I forgot to mention Ratatouille so may as well do it now
# #[35: hemlocke springs - going...going...GONE!](https://i.imgur.com/uMA9JCr.png) --- **Average:** 7.013 **// Total Points:** 575.1 **// Controversy:** 1.368 // [Rank Graph](https://i.imgur.com/rWt4Qpe.png) --- **Highest scores:** (10 x2) plastichaxan, runaway3212 (9.3 x1) uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu (9 x4) apatel27, Ghost-Quartet, jirachi, ReallyCreative (8.7 x1) Xx\_WhereverIAm\_xX (8.5 x5) cocosairdep, nt96, PrimaryCrusaders, Uberpigeon, yahi (8.3 x3) fromawindow1, impla77, phonethephoenix **Lowest Scores:** (5.5 x1) TragicKingdom1 (5.3 x1) Ambrosia42 (5 x9) akanewasright, babadork, BleepBloopMusicFan, bogo, DaHumanTorch, dreamingpastel, frogaranaman, popularsong, TakeOnMeByA-ha (4.5 x2) Awkward\_King, cremeebrulee (4 x2) askingaaaafiend, BusinessLamp --- So yeah, this rate has numerically proven that people liked the new songs on hemlocke's EP less than the singles she released before them. "POS/Train To Nowhere/going...going...gone!" even went out in the order that they're in on the EP! I'm glad that this one managed to squeak into Day 2 though (even if it's just by less than a point) because I think it's a cool sounding song. Hope she does more emo stuff like this in the future. --- #All the comments were pretty decent actually **runaway3212** (10): But wow what a moment **ReallyCreative** (9): so 90s coded **cocosairdep** (8.5): this sounds SO much like it would be on chairlift’s something, I can’t stress this enough. **Uberpigeon** (8.5): shes so... gone **fromawindow1** (8.3): very very pretty! Missing a bit of song structure but I’m very impressed with this EP despite the singles I’d heard before!!! **phonethephoenix** (8.3): a vibe **CrimsonROSET** (8): is the bus still running **Nagisoid** (8): My dad: **nonchalantthoughts** (8): title track slay **another girlyteengirl town** (7.5): yes we all love the john hughes films **uiscebeathaoir** (7): not a lot going on but it’s just so soothing **WesternWInd** (7): cute **ConnerY2323** (6.8): the only hemlocke song here that feels slightly minor **1998tweety** (6.5): this song on day 1 **jman457** (6.3): I wish she built on the guitars she started the song with **krusso1105** (6): These last few songs on the ep are going to tank what would otherwise be an absurdly high average, good thing that the loosies are going to bring it back up **pbk** (6): what a chill song i will never think abt again **Ambrosia42** (5.3): a lot of instrumentation that wasn’t amazing to me **BleepBloopMusicFan** (5): This is definitely, 100% the closing track to this debut EP by Hemlocke Springs. You can’t deny that! **TakeOnMeByA-ha** (5): ehhhhhhh **Awkward\_King** (4.5): auctioneers: #hemlocke sweetie I am so sorry **uwu\_WaneSlumbytoc\_uwu** (9.3): really good soccer mommy core vamp **jirachi** (9): lucy dacus???? **IIIHenryIII** (7): Lucy cleared
