    Lizzo – Truth Hurts



    Have I listened to this artist before? Yes

    This song was actually released in 2017 so it better be damn good!....It’s got a good beat to it but unfortunately nothing really special is grabbing me in it.

    Green&Red
    Ingrid Andress - More Hearts Than Mine

    Finally, A really nice country song that you can let wash over you. I’ve been waiting the entire walrus for these to show up! Better late than never :pac:

    Fiona Apple – Newspaper

    Unfortunately I just couldn’t enjoy this one. The percussion is annoyingly loud which makes it hard to listen to. A little too alternative for me I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    In 3rd place with 19 points is
    Sawduck
    The Dears – Instant Nightmare!

    Woah what is going on here :D Guitars and violin, it’s an epic start! The singers voice is a bit disappointing but the amazing instruments come straight back! Love it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    Well this is either going very well or very badly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    In 20th place with 2 points is
    Osh
    The Mysterines – Love’s Not Enough



    Have I listened to this artist before? No
    Have I listened to this song before? No

    I found it very hard to listen to this. The guitar and drums got very annoying halfway through. They just sound like noise after a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    In 2nd place with 20 points is
    LeVar
    Little Big Town – Wine, Beer, Whiskey



    Have I listened to this artist before? No
    Have I listened to this song before? No

    Okay you got me on this one ;) I love the horns, you rarely hear them in country music. It’s like a cross between the Rocky theme and a Hoedown! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    In 21st place with 1 point is
    Kolido
    Katy Perry – Daisies



    Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
    Have I listened to this song before? No

    This was disappointing because she has released some fantastic pop songs in the past. There’s just nothing going on in this song. Forgettable.

    Now this is the kind of country I can get behind, I love everything about this. She has a great voice. The three and a half minutes flew by, very easy listening! This walrus was like waiting on a bus playing good country music, you wait three weeks and then three all show up at once! :pac:

    I think this song is another proof of why we performed average in each other's Walrus: this song would have easily been top-3 if I had to rank this list. Built around the type of percussion I absolutely love, great choice Homer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe

    :(

    It's the hope that kills you. So close, and then that final hurdle....SPLAT.

    This was my other potential submission, which in hindsight you might have preferred. In some ways a polar opposite as it has a very gentle, woozy sound. Definitely a lot calmer than Newspaper but the passion and intensity of the latter just gave me more goosebumps (though evidently not everyone's cup of Walrus-tea!)



    Oh well, my Sunday night is ruined but sure what about it. Congratulations Necro, well played!

    I'm just happy I finished above Levar.

    I've got loads of new stuff for a next Walrus, including some rather spectacular Indonesian Funk.

    Oh my God that song just made my ears actually bleed and now I'm dead.

    Thanks for organising shaneU! Well done Necro. I guess sometimes other people's music tastes are just so divergent from your own that you just re-evaluate what the point of existence even is :confused: I probably would have stacked most of these rounds literally the other way. :pac:

    I think I'm coming away from this having learned something... I feel the knowledge will come upon reflection...

    Gutted to have thrown away the lead at the very end. Should have went with Ava Max.
