Kenshi Yonezu in tier list This is what I wrote after listening to his first album, Hanataba to Suisou (Bouquet and Burial at Sea), which he released as Hachi. This is day one, my first impression of him: I found this immediately compelling. I’ve got a feeling, I think Kenshi Yonezu is gonna fly toContinue reading “251: Kenshi Yonezu (A+)”

250: ENHYPEN (A-)
EHYPEN in tier list I think this is my favorite K-Pop I’ve listened to so far, though I admit that the sample size is still very small. It’s still got what I feel like is, to me, an increasingly core issue regarding the organization of the music; there are albums and eps and rereleases andContinue reading “250: ENHYPEN (A-)”

249: Tyler, The Creator (A-)
Tyler, The Creator in tier list the first four albums I did not much care for, counting BASTARD as the first album. There was a pretty steady progression, I felt, through Cherry Bomb. I could always very clearly hear that Tyler had stuff to say, there was clear demonstration of his passion and his pain,Continue reading “249: Tyler, The Creator (A-)”
248: BØRNS (B+)
BØRNS in tier list I really like it, it’s a lot my jam, but… I dunno. Something about it, or about me listening, I’m not sure which, stalled out after the first album. I listened to the first album and thought, “Wow, strong start, looking forward to the rest” and then on next album IContinue reading “248: BØRNS (B+)”
247: Kendrick Lamar (B+)
Kendrick Lamar in tier list There’s something undeniable about it, even on first blush, even for the songs I didn’t like enough to add to my playlist. I don’t know if I can articulate it very well. I don’t know if I can even hear it very well. I’m still working on that. But itContinue reading “247: Kendrick Lamar (B+)”

246: Who Cares Band (A)
Who Cares Band in tier list It does remind me a little of Accusefive, in a good way. There’s some similarity in song writing and structure, but more than anything else, there’s just some shared feeling, similar energy. Part of me wishes they didn’t make their songs so long because I feel like there’s noContinue reading “246: Who Cares Band (A)”
245: Sabrina Carpenter (A-)
Sabrina Carpenter in tier list the first album sounds pretty much exactly like how I’d expect 2015 pop album by a 16 year old Disney child actor to sound. It’s pretty good, too, but I do think I feel that the style is limiting. Second album is called EVOLution, and it also feels like howContinue reading “245: Sabrina Carpenter (A-)”
