Flipturn in tier list I was fully hooked by my first day of listening, just from their first EP, Heavy Colors, and I only liked them more after that. I listened to all of their songs at least four times, I think, and many of them I listened to even more. As it turns out,Continue reading “343: Flipturn (A+)”

342: Hot Freaks (A-)
Hot Freaks in tier list I think I felt largely indifferent until “Pull.” That one hooked me pretty well, and after that I was much more inclined to listen closely, and do more than just my minimum two listens. I like it, it’s fun. To be totally honest, I feel like it starts scratching anContinue reading “342: Hot Freaks (A-)”
341: Tessa Violet (B-)
Tessa Violet in tier list I know my impression of seeing her live in concert as an opener is years old now, but I remembered liking her way more. Her energy, and even just the sound of her voice. Listening to her now I still think she’s alright, but she feels so much more flatContinue reading “341: Tessa Violet (B-)”
340: twenty one pilots (A-)
twenty one pilots in tier list This is a funny band for me, a little. I had some feelings about them before going into it, and those feelings didn’t really come from the music at all. In my head, twenty one pilots are kinda the quintessential middle school band. I have a core memory ofContinue reading “340: twenty one pilots (A-)”
339: Yam Haus (A-)
Yam Haus in tier list They were an opener when I saw 253: Sammy Rae & The Friends (A-) in concert… what, three and a half years ago, now? Dang. Anyway, I liked them enough to put them on my list, then I mostly forgot about them since they didn’t have enough songs released for meContinue reading “339: Yam Haus (A-)”
338: The Long Winters (B+)
The Long Winters in tier list I’m gonna put these guys at a B+ for now, but I could see them getting to an A-. That said, I could also see them sticking at a B+, or even going down to a B, so I guess we’ll see how it goes. I liked each albumContinue reading “338: The Long Winters (B+)”
337: The Offspring (B-)
The Offspring in tier list My overwhelming feeling is that I like this well enough, I guess? Like, that’s the feeling: “I like this well enough, I guess?” Question mark included as part of the feeling. It’s so much stuff that I mostly like, but that blends together to the point that I just loseContinue reading “337: The Offspring (B-)”
336: PinkPantheress (C)
PinkPantheress in tier list I almost like it. I kinda like it? I almost like it a lot? I don’t know. I’ll have my moments while listening to it where I really think it’s cool and interesting, where I’m really enjoying it, and then I’ll have my moments where it feels stale and robotic. Or,Continue reading “336: PinkPantheress (C)”
335: Ne-Yo (C-)
Ne-Yo in tier list I like it well enough, pretty good. I’ve got a lot more to say than that, but broadly I think that’s true. It’s pretty decent. There’s a handful of songs I like a lot, and most of the songs I think are at least alright. I think with most of Ne-Yo’sContinue reading “335: Ne-Yo (C-)”
334: Stereosity (A)
Stereosity in tier list They’ve only got one album, New Life Will Grow, but it slaps. I heard a song or two of theirs that popped up on YouTube. I liked it a lot, and the album definitely holds up. It very much fits the mold of math rock, as I continue to understand it—changingContinue reading “334: Stereosity (A)”
