LSD (5) - Alt-8 Week of 8/18/18

This post might seem a little rushed. Anyway, I thought this was a pretty exciting week, as we got a lot of exits and turnover. Without further ado, here are the songs leaving us:

  • grandson - Blood // Water (#8)
  • Rex Orange County/Benny Sings - Loving Is Easy (#7) [x2]
  • AJR - Burn The House Down (#4) [x2]
  • Twenty One Pilots - Nico And The Niners (#3)
8. Dennis Lloyd - Nevermind (DEBUT)
7. Weezer - Africa (#2) [-5] {6 Weeks At 1}
6. Two People/Madison Love - Hurt People (DEBUT)
5. King Princess - 1950 (RE-ENTRY)
4. Death Cab for Cutie - Gold Rush (#6) [+2]
3. Twenty One Pilots - Jumpsuit (RE-ENTRY)
2. CHVRCHES - Miracle (#5) [+3]
1. LSD - Genius (#1) [=] {5th Week At #1}

New Entrants
~We got two songs back this week. I don't mind having Jumpsuit back, but I do mind having 1950 here again. That song has gotten so damn infuriating with its constant exits and re-entries.

~I've already talked a bit about Nevermind during the Hits 1 posts (and will likely be talking more about it next week), but to summarize I think the production is great, and I like his vocals. I hope this sticks around.

~Hurt People is a very good song. I like the lyrics a lot. There isn't much to the production, but I think that it works pretty well. And both vocalists sound pretty good. I hope this has a solid run here.

Blurb People
~Thank God Blood // Water left. That song has no good qualities. Loving Is Easy was decent but really boring and I hope it doesn't come back. I've completely grown out of Burn The House Down. The only good exit was Nico And The Niners, which at least for right now I still think is better than Jumpsuit. I won't miss it that much though.

~How is Genius still #1? I like the song, but it should probably let something else take the top spot soon.

~It's nice to see Gold Rush and Miracle making some small jumps.

~Africa, please leave soon. Like, really soon.
