^ I'm guessing that was K-pop, Lily. Everyone in the video is young and stylish, which helps win over the audience I imagine.
The song has a catchy chorus, and for some reason there is something very satisfying in the way the opening lines land on the words "...like that" at their end.
Personally I didn't like the rap interlude, but it was mercifully short.
6/10

Interesting pick, Lisna. I remember Thin White Rope for one amazing track off Moonhead. Love the vocals and guitar work, kind of a western feel to it. Not especially adventurous in terms of melody, but definitely an enjoyable listen just the same. 9/10

This is my favorite TWR tune.

The vocalist is dope and the guitar's aight. I wish the drumming and general arrangement were less standard. Definitely a lot of questionable guitar tone choices too. 6/10

Thanks, rs. They are not a band I know anything about: they are on my "should explore sometime" list.
I recently saw SGR's proposed nickname for Queen Boo, which is the brilliant "Queebs". It made me think that "rs" is not a very satisfactory shortening of your username. How about "Rubs"?

Most glaring to me was a kind of tinkling sound that they used to use in old movies (or Star Trek) to signify that some magical possession, or waking up from a dream world, was in progress. 6/10

You can call me anything. Just don't call me "condom"
