Wow, after all the low rates @loathereality came shining through in the end.

She truly tried to purge out the competition and send a First Aid Kit to "Share Your Address"

Spoiler

To be fair, she actually did give some high rates, though. It's just they weren't the absolute highest, so they aren't shown as "Highest Score" in any of the results

I'll be honest and say the live version actually made me appreciate the track more.

Plus, the dance he does while singing it is pretty cute and innocent lol

Thank you so much for another great megarate.  I am so looking forward to the next one.

In hindsight after re-listening to the album I regretted my votes, so this whole time I was just sat here being awkward  

What changes would you have made to your rates?

Thanks for being there to support my megarates from the very first one.

I have some ideas as to what album will be next... but knowing me I will over-analyze it all, and it'll take me forever to choose.

Any feedback you could give below in terms of genres would be great!

Not sure about genres but you could do a Dolly Parton rate

Well for starters I wouldn't have given Share Your Address only a 7

I love that you don't go with the current albums topping the charts.  You introduce people to wonderful albums they have either forgotten or never heard.  There is tremendous value to that.

Already did one, but we could use a full-out country Dolly album!

Honestly, the Dolly country album I really want to do is one of the few that hasn't been released on streaming services

The album is so good I'm searching for an opportunity to see him perform live.

he was in Detroit recently and i didn’t know til like 3 days before and was super broke and had to miss it ☠️😩 a friend of mine from my chorus saw him and said he slayed the vocals all night long

didn't sing anything from Dear Evan Hansen though which is sad

that lyric about falling in love with another man still gives me chills

also Ben Platt with a scruffy beard is looking like a snack

The song should have won imo.

I'm still not over the blasphemy that was shown to this great track

i didn’t participate in the rate but imo Older and In Case You Don’t Live Forever are the best songs on the album

This megarate is an example of how people end up liking an album or artist after you introduce them.  You really broaden  the musical appreciation of your followers.

I recently saw a wonderful movie, The Upside, where such introduction to music played a role in the story.  A very wealthy man introduced his care giver to live opera. The care giver ended up liking opera very much.  The care giver was into Aretha, but the rich man was never introduced to soul but had to listen to it when the care giver was driving.  He ended up liking Aretha.  Near the end of the movie, opera and Aretha were merged by the audio of this wonderful performance.  The talent!
