...this is very true.

BTW, who is that in your avatar? I'm completely fascinated by it!

It's French electropop band Yelle (well actually its lead singer). The avatar is from this video. You should check out her Pop Up album, it's really good!

High score: 10 (Doogle)
Low Score: 4 (Xorev, @michael, PopBoi)

I like the idea of this, especially as it's attached to "Sexy! No No No..."



But...



Isn't this just an overblown Rachel Stevens reject?

[madonnas]

That went a bit too high? It's still decent though.

So the intro the song pisses me off, cuz it comes off as too try hard.

One of the reasons I love this song so much is its GREAT intro. It is as good as intro to Love/Hate, Revolution In The Head or Sexy.

Low Score: 3 (@michael, True Skarlet)

And as we switch to the second half, WHY THE HELL IS THIS SONG SO LOW?



I consider it one of the highlights from Out Of Control. It's far more complex a melody and lyrically, connecting it more with Tangled Up than with the hodgepodge effect on this album. I personally think it's brilliant and should have been a single.

Not my third 10 leaving in a row . It's brilliant.

Low Score: 2 (Victoria)

Why hi there Nicola!



It's a cute song but it (like No Regrets) doesn't fit with the vibe of Chemistry. Had this been pushed off to Tangled Up however...

[madonnas]

Wait WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This is the first real actual tragedy of the rate. It's top 10 material. Definitely the best song to leave so far.

[adrianbeane]

WAIT.

''Dog Without A Bone'' is really good. I should've given it a higher score.

And UMMMMMM ''It's Magic'' is even more amazing???!!!!

Gave it a 10 as well x2

[madonnas]

Okay I know they're loved but The Promise and Loving Kind should be LONG gone.

"Racey Lacey"

High score: 9.5 (adrianbeane)
Low Score: 3 (Mandarke)

Apparently it's time to ditch the bonus tracks on Chemistry



I've always been partial to this ditty when compared to "It's Magic" or "No Regrets." It feels more a part of the album, its the bratty side of Girls Aloud I prefer and while it does get demerits for **** shaming, it's still cutte enough that they could be throwing it at each other instead of some real person.

Final 2 song for the day have one thing in common: they're from Out Of Control

[madonnas]

Chemistry shouldn't have this many songs out.

WHY IS THIS HERE *pout*

[madonnas]

Kimberley's intro >>> the rest of the song.

"Rolling Back The Rivers In Time"
Average: 7.21875
High score: 10 (Ace Reject, @michael)
Low Score: 1 (True Skarlet)

AND WHY THE HELL IS THIS BORING AS HELL NUMBER AHEAD OF LOVE IS PAIN?



We enter the top 50 tomorrow. Two singles will be leaving us

[PopBoi]

I like it. It's not amazing but it's nice. Gone are the days of magic, those times were coooool.

[madonnas]

Well, that song isn't too bad but yeah, more Out of Control needs to

[paulyyyozd]

White Lies is flawless.

It's Magic also.

And RBTRIT is the best non single from OOC.

[@michael]

Thank goodness, when you said OOC would take a hit today, I thought you meant the great songs like "The Promise", "The Loving Kind", "Miss You Bow Wow", and "Untouchable", but only "Rolling Back the Rivers in Time" got punched "Turn to Stone" and "Love is Pain" are trash, the worst on that album, and need to go.

My 9s and 10s are still doing fabulously for the most part My 7s are also still doing well, but my 8s have taken a big hit LOVE "Hear Me Out" because it's so cornY-ish, so I'm sad to see it go.
