I liked how hard-hitting this track was. It's cool.



Must be an on-going pattern in Taylor Swift stans.

...way to generalize

I actually enjoyed every album in the rate, but each had its low points. I truly think I rated everything fairly.

"Not About Love" is the first Fiona track to get punched! This is the track that feels the least accomplished out of Extraordinary Machine. It's hard to remember how this song goes aside from her rap-talk, which I'm not really here for either.

The Jon Brion produced version of this song features heavy strings supporting her usual piano playing, giving a more theatrical and "intense" vibes. As much as I don't think that approach was effective, I do prefer its brevity over the official album version.

Thanks! This really was her worst, maybe even Fiona's worst song ever?

"What's Mine Is Yours", "Let's Call It Love" &"Entertain" are The Woods' trinity.

Not About Love is decent, not terrible, but not anything special either.

[Stevie]

"Not About Love" was okay. One of the weakest on the album.

i just think that it's misplaced in between the other records (and a forum about pop music) though

I realize that. But for me, it was the only memorable track.

[Kingfisher]

nooooooo
this hurts

[jqnetto]

"Not About Love" is just meh, the weakest song on "Extraordinary Machine".

[Great Username]

The offensive, redundant DRIVEL that is "Out of Egypt" should have been first out.

[MP2K]

My lowest rated Fiona song, oh well.

Just kidding.

And damn. I like "Not About Love", but let's be real here, there's a sequence on that album where about 3-4 songs sound almost the same.

It is the least poppiest on the rate, but I'm surprised it's not being dragged like Sufjan.

yeah, i predicted that the woods would be the one that would garner the most hate, but i think sufjan got it because it's essentially a long-ass pop record

Today's work is done, because I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyy too tired

Coming back tomorrow with 7 new eliminations

"Waltz (Better than Fine)" can go now.

Maybe its the length, I think the fact that the album works weirdly as separate tracks and better as a whole hurt him too.

If any Sufjan song deserved to leave first, it would be this one.

7! Should be good

I like how so far, the rate is very balanced, plus your graphics are nice!

[madonnas]

Good job with the graphics & presentation

[Kingfisher]

the ''Music for 18 Musicians'' sample on Out of Egypt is great

I agree, it's not bad at all.

But that kind of same-sounding quirkiness on the songs works for her, especially in the first five tracks.

Ok, good start so far. Hopefully The Woods shows up tomorrow.
