Skegss in tier list It’s alright. Enjoyable enough, pretty basic pop rock/pop punk with pretty good energy. They clean up and tighten up as they keep making more music, but it never really becomes more than it is, more than it was at the start. I have nothing against it, and I think I couldContinue reading “359: Skegss (B-)”

Folk Bitch Trio in tier list They don’t have very much music released right now, but of what there is, most of it is too mellow for me by half. There are a couple that I really think are lovely—”God’s A Different Sword” and “Analogue”—and a few others that I like well enough and enjoy,Continue reading “358: Folk Bitch Trio (C-)”

Madison Cunningham in tier list This is good stuff, super solid. Just, good songs. Nice arrangements, I like her voice, I like the lyrics and the style. Definitely up my alley. Her second album, Revealer, I particularly like. I was strongly leaning toward liking it already after Who Are You Now, and I think itContinue reading “357: Madison Cunningham (A-)”

Chumbawamba in tier list I can already feel that I didn’t give this one its due. I’m feeling pretty shitty right now, and I know that affects how I write these things. I’d say I was also feeling pretty shitty for many of the days I was listening to the band across the last coupleContinue reading “356: Chumbawamba (C-)”

My Chemical Romance in tier list I think I listened to this at a bad time. I know I didn’t pay as much attention as I should have, and I know that even when I was paying attention my heart wasn’t really in it. Maybe that wouldn’t have made a big difference this time, andContinue reading “355: My Chemical Romance (B-)”

The Scarlet Opera in tier list I don’t have much to say, I just really enjoyed this. They’ve only got 12 songs, but they’re all super fun. It’s high energy and catchy and engaging. I don’t know if I feel there’s that much to it, but it doesn’t feel shallow. I might not end upContinue reading “353: The Scarlet Opera (A-)”

Dylan Hughes in tier list It’s fine. There are a few songs I like. But, even with those songs I can feel that, a little bit, I’m forcing myself to like them. It’s all too mellow for me by half, and there’s nothing else that particularly pulls me to it. The lyrics are fine butContinue reading “352: Dylan Hughes (D)”

Ivers in tier list I first listened to all of this two and a half years ago, in March of 2024. Ivers would’ve been my 192nd artist, between 191: Lana Del Rey (D-) and 192: ZAYN (B+→A-). There’s only a pair of EPs, but taken together I think there’s enough for me to count them. It’sContinue reading “351: Ivers (A-)”

Cavetown in tier list I think this is very good, this is pretty up my alley. I found myself immediately drawn to the energy of it: there is an intimacy and sincerity to it that manages to seep into the feeling of the music instead of just staying stuck in the lyrics. I think thatContinue reading “350: Cavetown (A-)”
