This band rarely ever impresses me anymore.

REJECTED ❌

Song: "Daylight"

It's okay, but not good enough.

Okayish.

Song: "Water The Well"
Artist: The Bronx
Album: Bronx IV

These guys last appeared all the way back in session 3, where they failed to make an impression on me. This time, however, while nothing special, I enjoy it enough to give it an add.

ADDED ✅

Song: "Bloom"
Artist: Of Mice & Men
Album: Bloom - Single

I've never cared for this band, but I'm somehow enjoying this song. Oh, what the hell?

ADDED ✅

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isJZyL7DN2U]
Song: "May We All"
Artist: Dispatch
Album: Break Our Fall

Yeah, I like it! Not bad.

ADDED ✅

[No video available]
Song: "It's Not Supposed To Be That Way (feat. Willie Nelson)"
Artist: Nathaniel Rateliff
Album: It's Not Supposed To Be That Way (feat. Willie Nelson) - Single

Too country. 🤠

REJECTED ❌

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4wgnx_Phrw]
Song: "Chondromalacia Patella"
Artist: black midi
Album: Cavalcade

Another artist I first heard way back in session 3. This one is okay, but I'll try another one.

[No video available]
Song: "Marlene Dietrich"
Artist: black midi
Album: Cavalcade

I liked the first one better, but again, that was just okay. No add again from these guys.

REJECTED ❌

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8CWI7c8bWw]
Song: "I'm Dead (feat. jxdn)"
Artist: Nessa Barrett
Album: I'm Dead (feat. jxdn) [From the podcast "Prom In Hell"] - Single

I was thinking this was just alright, but the more I listened to it, the more it became good enough for an add. I'll do it.

ADDED ✅

Song: "Why"
Artist: Red Fang
Album: Arrows

These guys last appeared in session 6. This song is a little better than the last song I heard from them, but still isn't enough.

REJECTED ❌

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VcTYyuGrgM]
Song: "Secret Garden"
Artist: Spiritbox
Album: Eternal Blue

Not very original, but it has enough hooks for me to add.

ADDED ✅

[No video available]
Song: "Fear of Dying"
Artist: Poppy
Album: Fear of Dying - Single

I like it, but this artist is known for juxtaposing metal with pop in the same vein as BABYMETAL. This sounds more like meeting the middle and going accessible hard rock. Oh well, it's still enjoyable.

ADDED ✅

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RJrr2bVMTU]
Song: "I Gotta Rock (Again)"
Artist: Dee Snider
Album: Leave A Scar

Ah, the legend himself! It's kinda the same-old, same-old here, but I'lm going to add it simply because Dee Snider still sounds great at over 65 years old. 🤘

ADDED ✅

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYInjpV75dY]
Song: "TIME 2"
Artist: half·alive
Album: TIME 2 - Single

Yuck. 🤢

REJECTED ❌

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sNg0jH9buo]
Song: "Method to the Madness"
Artist: The Wombats
Album: Method to the Madness - Single

Not bad, but not add-worthy.

REJECTED ❌

[No video available]
Song: "this is growing up"
Artist: almost monday
Album: this is growing up

Last saw this artist in session 9. Their song there was meh, but this is much better! They've redeemed themselves.

ADDED ✅

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgOap8nTjn0]
Song: "Take It Back"
Artist: JAWNY
Album: Take It Back - Single

Without even looking at the title, I wonder what the name of the song is? Is it "Take It Back"? 🙄 Too repetitive.

REJECTED ❌

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggzVwNZOEYE]
Song: "Hang My Head"
Artist: Dylan Cartlidge
Album: Hope Above Adversity

Good enough!

ADDED ✅

Catchy.

ADDED ✅

Song: "Back Of My Hand"
Artist: Bachelor
Album: Doomin' Sun

These guy were previously featured in session 4, where they had a song I thought was boring. But they've redeemed themselves greatly here! Very nice!

ADDED ✅

Song: "In My Arms"
Artist: Lou Barlow
Album: Reason To Live

This guy is one of the founding members of Dinosaur Jr. It's okay. Out of respect, I'll try another song.

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPr5b-gJglc]
Song: "Why Can't It Wait"
