Eminem

3 Awesomes /19 tot = 15.79%

6 greats

4 good-ish

68.42% output is good & up

Concept album and explanation that’s totally meta. Lots of call outs and 

call backs (words, themes, music) to Eminem’s earlier works and controversies. 

He’s heavy on the humor while providing ample context for Marshall Mathers, 

Eminem, and his alter-ego, Slim Shady. The artist fluently exchanges identities 

singing both as Eminem and Slim Shady while divulging personal details and 

motivations of Marshal Mathers’ real life. 

The wordplay is scholarly yet contemporary. Bounce to leave and bounce as in the fabric sheets brand. The word “Ludacris” as crazy and as a call out to the rapper. It’s high-level writing, however you slice it. Eminem’s technical skill is still unparalleled between the writing and the fast rapping. 

I was immediately hooked by the idea behind the album, even though some of the words and themes that I’ve sung along with since my high school days in the 1990s were jarring to me as an adult in a more PC-ified world. Once you blot out the bigotry, the songs are so perceptive, astute, and might I say erudite. No, I’m not kidding.

Sabrina Carpenter 

2 Awesomes /12 tot = 16.67%

1 great/12 tot = 8.33%

4 good-ish

58.33% output is good & up

Catchy, bold, confident, rancor, retaliation, competitive, playful.

I’d say Sabrina had a break-out year despite her prior albums–this is not her 

first rodeo. And I’d also say that she won song of the summer with Espresso. 

Between her iconic Coachella performance, opening for Taylor Swift’s 

record-breaking Eras tour, and Spotify ending every playlist everyone played 

with her single, Sabrina was Queen of the Pop Girlies in 2024.

21

The Home Team

2 Awesomes /12 tot = 16.67%

5 greats/12 tot = 41.67%

3 good-ish

83.33% output is good & up

Upbeat, angry, alt-punk/rock.

20

Bela fleck

1 awesome of 3 versions/5 songs tote (3 versions of same song) = 20-50% 

depending how you count multiple song versions

1 great of 3 versions

40.0% output is good & up

Good pickin’ but classical, more than bluegrass. This is for the college concert 

hall, not as much the spoon-playin’ outdoor festival.

Intricate, elaborate, complex, layered, technical.
