Finally, I see someone else who does not get the hype around White Dress by LDR. It's possibly one of her worst songs, she tries way too hard to be 'artsy' with the lyrics, and the singing on the chorus is unbearable at times. It's such an off-putting album opener that the whole album suffers from its inclusion.

As a big Imagine Dragons fan, yeah Cutthroat deserved it. Even though the 'Performance Video' version was a LOT better (I saw in the chat that you used that version due to copyright), the bassline is sick, Dan doesn't sound nearly as unbearable and the kazoo was kind of weird but kind of worked. Anyway, a few other songs I hated that didn't make the list: Sia - Hey Boy Anne Marie & Little Mix - Kiss My (Uh Oh) Drake - What's Next Tom Grennan - Little Bit of Love Joel Corry & Jax Jones ft. Charli XCX & Saweetie - OUT OUT (who asked for this shitter version of Alors on Danse by Stromae?) Cardi B - Up The Vaccines - Headphones Baby (I know the songs by them you heard in the stream were pretty good, but this one is not)

Well, if Skillet do mix things up instead of doing the same shit over and over again, they might end up making their own ‘Swerve’ lol. In all seriousness, I think the P Roach song is a one-off, soon after they released a more normal song and linked to it in the overly negative comments section for Swerve, saying “for those that want heavy shit”.

[@mikeandersonwa]

It's so sad how far Skillet's music has fallen... they had a great trio of albums back in the day with Collide, Comatose, and then Awake, those three albums back to back were absolutely incredible, but their newer stuff has been fairly uninspired ever since Ben left.

[@GrimmFLawless]

I wouldn’t say they were ever one of my favorites but I did like them ok but there’s only so many times you can recycle the same sound and themes. They just sound like a product of their time. Not everything will transcend time like Nevermind or American Idiot. Even Green Day’s last album wasn’t that bad to me. It’s not my favorite but at least they don’t cling to the past. I might be a little biased though

Skillet has gotten too comfortable with their music, it will sadly never change because the christian pre teens constantly eat up their music. I'm honestly sick of their shtick by now. Generic propaganda and Stadium rock is all these people know. Unleashed was the last one for me and honestly I cringe every time I see, "New from Skillet" on Spotify. On a smaller note, ex ffdp drummer Jeremy "devil daddy" spencer has released 9 albums worth of trashy goth rock/electronica and it's an endless buffet of cringe and hilarity.

The blessing of being a gojira fan and thus always getting top tier releases is nice Amazonia will be on my playlist with that incredible bassline until I die Also jesus christ this year sucked for music

The picture of MGK in the thumbnail looks like that kid in school who proclaimed himself an “edge lord” because he got detention once for making a 9/11 joke in class.

And to think that MGK thought that his album was good enough for a Grammy nomination 😂😂 His album is BAD, and I'm not saying that just because I'm a Slipknot fan. Edit: "If you're not white you're invisible with liberty and justice to us only" hits a little too close to home 😭

This year's ID album was wild. It gave us one of the best songs or the year in Wrecked ( Also shout out to Dull Knives) . But jeez what the fuck was Cutthroat. Imo the song singlehandedly dragged their score on the album down. It was pretty good otherwise.
