I know it wasn't the best map, but literally any maps back would be welcome at this point.
> Patty Mills said he has a friend who doesn't know much about basketball who always tell him "just put ball in basket." He said that was top of mind tonight as he sank a career-high nine 3s.
Lmfao fr how hard could it be? /s
I know "Traper of The year", "Money On my Mind" "Airplane Mode"
This is my second playthrough of Charlie Puth's Nine Track Mind. For context, my original rating for this album was a 1.75/10. Let's see if this changes at all.
#One Call Away
Oh. I remember this track. God, so fucking sweet, and not in a good way. He's really thinking that he's the one that could save her from her sadness. Whiny. Generic production that tries to sound bigger than it is. I feel like the girl in this song knows he's one call away, she's just not fucking interested. "Superman got nothing on me" is just too cheesy of a line to be uttered even sarcastically, let alone seriously. On the bright side, at least this isn't the Tyga remix. 1/10
#Dangerously
CHARLIE PUTH IS LESS CONVINCING AS DANGEROUS THAN ARIANA GRANDE. He sounds like he's being castrated on this track. "I loved you dangerously / More than the air that I breathe" makes no fucking sense. Again, generic ballad production outside of some drum kicks. This is Grenade minus any sense of edge that Bruno Mars might've had on that track. 1.5/10
#Marvin Gaye (feat. Meghan Trainor)
I'll try to address this song as original as I can. "Karma sutra show and tell" is just not a good line. "Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on" is not a good euphemism. This is honestly one of the least sexy songs about sex to not be released as a comedy track, and I'm pretty sure The Lonely Island has released sexier tracks. Actually, they have with "Dick in a Box", but that's beside the point. If the Meghan Trainor segment of a song is the highlight of a song, the song is probably a trainwreck, and even then Wale on the remix did a better job of trying to seduce me as a straight man. I actually like Wale but he's probably the most boring rapper at his level of popularity. Back on topic, repetition is not on this song's side, because the "Marvin Gaye" line gets more annoying the more its uttered. The climax of this song is so uneventful I'd have more fun jerking off after being constantly rejected over and over again. Seriously, hatejerking is less unpleasant than this song. This song is as much as a tribute to Marvin Gaye as The Simpsons episode "I (Annoyed Grunt)-bot" is to cats and jazz musicians. 0.5/10
#Losing My Mind
The opening chopped sample was promising, but then Puth came in. It's slow, lyrically generic, but I'll be damned if it isn't the first sign of originality in this album on the production side of things. I think I realize Puth's schtick now: he's a Piano Man that also

They're out there.
Hey besties,
So! It's been a bit since I made my first post, to rate all of TS album openers, and it got WAYYY more traction then I expected, so I happily decided I wanted to make this a thing. I've been busy so it took a bit to get around to making this, but I want to see what all of your opinions of her track 2s are. Those are the following songs, in case anyone needs a refresh: Picture To Burn, Fifteen, Sparks Fly, RED, Blank Space, End Game, Cruel Summer, Cardigan, and Champagne Problems.
This was a really difficult one and I really think I have the right order (unlike last post, where I ranked The 1 too low and regretted it LMAO). I'll get onto my ranking, following the same rules as 9 is the WORST and 1 is the BEST. I'm excited to see all of your replies, so feel free to give it a go. You don't have to write any reasoning or whatnot. Taylor Swift is one of the best artists to ever live and we have such a great Fandom. I was so scared to post but everyone here is so nice, I felt at home right away ❤ Please note, some rankings may be controversial. With that all being said, enjoy the post!!

Fifteen This list is going to be...painful. I have absolutely nothing against Fifteen. In fact, i love it! I listen to it decently often, it's a beautiful song, especially in the re-recording. I love how it sounds like a mother singing to her daughter almost, or a big sister. Her vocals are so pleasant, the lyrics are great, it's just such a sweet song and I truly do love this song... I guess it just doesn't stand out as much as the other ones in this list, which shows how amazing these tracks are because damn this is rough.

Sparks Fly This really is annoying. I love Sparks Fly. There is no bad track 2. I will fight anyone over this. It may be one of her best sets of tracks. It's an absolutely awesome song, I would never skip it. It has some really catchy and clever lyrics, and it has some really awesome high points. Its also one of the first songs my mom, who is also a swiftie, got into on her own, so it's extra special. She heard it at CVS and was so excited to tell me about it when she got home, she's so cute ❤. Great beat, just such a great song. I just don't love it as much as the others, and that's how you KNOW this is going to be good.

End Game This is going to be controversial. I probably upset someone by not putting it lower, and someone for not putting it higher. I'm upset myself. I LOVE end game. It's such an addictive song, the be
Do you know what's some absolute space shit? When you get stranded out in the middle of space, without any way of getting back, and this cruiser comes into view, all slick and speedy. You get all happy, thinking you're about to be saved, but the fucking comms goes off, and you hear the translator starting up, only for your gut to drop out of you and flings out into space, just falling faster than my face does as a frown appears.
"Shit," I say, unable to hold back the absolute nightmare of this diplomatic fuck up that's about to happen. "Shit, shit, shit."
"SXUR83-0S?" The COMMS call out, and I scowl. "Of, fucking, course. Just my luck." I bang a hand against some part of the ship—the steering wheel, I think... Look, I'm mad, okay? You'd be too if you had to commit a space war crime just to save your ass.
"ARE YOU HUMAN?" The red letters blare across the screen feeds as the translator whirs down. I could blow myself up, you know. Just push the ten sequential buttons on my display panel. Like I should. Just slam a hand down on each one. If I live this, which right now I'm wondering if it'll be worth it, I'm going to give a piece of my mind to whoever thought making us press ten buttons to end our own lives was a good idea. "We need to make sure you're in a total and completely sane state, hence the ten buttons." What crock shit. What fucking sane state would I have to be in to say, "yeah, those murder buttons look really fucking appealing right now. Might as well press them all because fuck humanity, haha."
Shit. I really don't have any other options, do I?
"COMMS, signal back saying "yes."
[OVERRIDE] flares on the screens, and I fucking sigh real big and loud. Of course, those fucking nerds put this in. [UNABLE TO TRANSLATE. BREAKING LAWS 2:B AND 3:A OF INTERRACIAL COMMUNICATION AND EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT]
Cool... Cool. Well, this piss poor plan somehow turned worse faster than I expected? Gotta think, gotta figure out how I can get past that talking mainframe. Laws say I can't contact aliens. Well, I technically didn't; they contacted me after all. Fucking human ships are the easiest to spot, you know. We got so many doo-dads on our ships that aliens, from what I've read in class, think we are like the space swiss army knives of ship-making! But they contacted me first, okay... okay, maybe I can work with that? Shit, but I still need to communicate with them. If only my life wasn't in danger, then I cou—Fuck you, Science! Er, well, I g
