The next two are the first of 12223 ties in the rate. I decided to break ties by the amount of 10s, or in one case, the lowest scores, because there's just so many.
The fifth song on Contra received a resounding “meh” from our voters, receiving no tens and with over half of its scores being in the five to seven range.
Best bit: Um, the production is pretty nice? Best lyrics: “You said “Baby, we don't speak of that” / like a real aristocrat"
The first elimination from Teen Dream, “Better Times” is one of the album’s frostier cuts, as Victoria warns her lover “How much longer can you play with fire before you turn into a liar?”
Best bit: The constantly shifting instrumentation Best lyrics:“Been a fool for weeks / 'cause my heart stands for nothing and your soul's too weak"
Bonus question: Should "Better Times" have been replaced with the bonus track "Baby"?
