Not another Wrapped
Find the pattern in your plays.
B-Side researches every film and album and scores them all on the same traits, so melancholy in an album counts the same as melancholy in a film. Your ratings show which traits predict what you love and which push you away.
- Pull and push“Slow, patient films win you over far more than they win over most people.”
- Only when…“Dark films work for you when the ending stays open.”
- Said vs. done“You rate challenging albums highest, but replay the warm ones for years.”
