ok so since I am struggling a bit with this one gonna do the reveal a little differently, which I think should provide a bit more of a sweat for some people which is always fun:

there are like 7-8 songs that are definitely safe, but also not in the running for podium.

I am going to reveal those now...then everyone left hopefully I can work out tomorrow.

Stay tuned.

same here, my methodology for this one was literally go google search "best album 2019" and if i knew any of the artists and thought it could work with OP I'd submit it

Was actually nice forcing myself to find what's new. Surprised to find Vampire Weekend has a new album, soon realized why I hadn't known.

@Dizzy if you like Danger Mouse, you have to listen to the Grey Album, I think it'd be right up your alley, like tool, play that through as an album. You'll know halfway through the first track if you'll like it or not. Was actually saving that one but had to pull out the big guns to survive this category.

Good tune and well covered IMO. If anyone is a Frightened Rabbit fan this cover album is definitely worth a listen. Two others that may be of interest

How else are you supposed to find a 2019 song? The last good song was recorded in 1994. LDO.

Y'all need to listen to some new music smh. Stop listening to your old Rush albums that you've heard 1000 times and try something new.

the PODIUM (in no particular order)

Spoiler:
Song: Options
Artist: Loren Gray
Submitter: SuqAta8

Notes: This is a song that would fit right in to a lot of the music I listen to on a daily basis. Some solid electro-pop. She is from PA too #reppin



Spoiler:
Song: Leviathan
Artist: Volbeat
Submitter: KarmaDope

Notes: By far the biggest surprise of the podium. This is not a song I would expect to make the podium, especially in this tough of a category, but it grew more and more on me each time I listened.

Just an awesome, fun, up-beat song. Had me jamming out every time it came up during my commute.



Spoiler:
Song: Racks In The Middle
Artist: Nipsey Hussle ft Roddy Ricch & Hit-Boy
Submitter: True North

Notes: tbh I had never heard of Nipsey Hussle before he died, and I have been meaning to check out his music since all I hear is fantastic reviews. Well the people are right - this is excellent.



Spoiler:
very diverse top 3. maybe I like more than just rap

the NODIUM (in a particular order)

the following two submissions are SAFE

Spoiler:
Song: Can't Stop Clocks
Artist: Mist
Submitter: xander biscuits

Notes: Had to get a bit nit-picky with how good the submissions were for this category. I like the song but overall the beat/lyrics felt a bit out-of-sync at times and (not sure if this is only in the music video version) I didn't really like the long intro and dialogue in the middle of the song.




Spoiler:
Song: Eternal
Artist: Holly Herndon
Submitter: Bloobird

Notes: This one was on the chopping block for a long time but it eventually grew on me enough for Bloobird to survive another week. Very weird song - idk what to even classify the sound they are making at the beginning...screeching?

However there are definitely parts of this song that are pretty cool and she pulls together some pretty unique sounds that I do like.



---

Which means our third elimination is:

Spoiler:
Song: Uh Oh!
Artist: The Coolies
Submitter: FerencL

Notes: FerencL unfortunately does not survive his third trip to the nodium. This is a song that I think would have been totally fine if not for the solid submissions from the others. Is there anything really wrong with the song? no...but it also just doesn't bring much to the table. Just was never really able to get into it and the vocalist wasn't my favorite.

Again - didn't dislike the song, just tough competition. Thanks for playing FerencL!!
