RAYE in tier list She’s got a ton of singles and shorter EPs, and I kinda didn’t really care for any of them. There were bits and pieces that I thought were cool and fun; enough to catch my ear and get my hopes up, but not enough to consistently like her. There was justContinue reading “361: RAYE (A)”

360: Jesse Welles (A-)
Jesse Welles in tier list This one took a while, dang. I had planned in my notes that Jesse would take me about a week, and instead he took me more than three. That is because I made that plan having only looked into the stuff the he put out under the Jesse Welles name.Continue reading “360: Jesse Welles (A-)”
359: Skegss (B-)
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-)”
358: Folk Bitch Trio (C-)
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-)”
357: Madison Cunningham (A-)
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-)”
356: Chumbawamba (C-)
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-)”
355: My Chemical Romance (B-)
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-)”
354: Men I Trust (C)
Men I Trust in tier list I wanted to like it a lot, and I almost do. I think it’s definitely good, I just don’t think it’s for me. It’s too atmospheric, too easy to ignore and forget about. I found it too easy to zone out while listening. I think it gets more engagingContinue reading “354: Men I Trust (C)”
353: The Scarlet Opera (A-)
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-)”
352: Dylan Hughes (D)
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)”
