New Entrants
~Sunflower is still mediocre as all hell.

~The New Great Depression is weird. And I'm not sure if it's good weird or bad weird yet. So it's decent for now.

~Song About You is interesting. I like that the messy production and bad rhyming reflect how messy a break-up can be, and I like Posner's vocals here. I'm not quite sure why this is debuting now, but I won't complain.
