Wayne’s so Sad (傷心欲絕) in tier list what was most interesting to me listening to these guys was just how much less I liked the eps than the albums. I could hear why I might like them from the eps, the sound didn’t change all that substantially from one to the other, but the epsContinue reading “221: Wayne’s so Sad (傷心欲絕) (B-)”

220: sodagreen (蘇打綠) (D+)
sodagreen (蘇打綠) in tier list there was an alternate reality where this triggered something in my ears or my head or my heart and I started to hear it like fans hear it, I think. That’s just not this reality. There were a couple moments where I could see it going either way pretty hardContinue reading “220: sodagreen (蘇打綠) (D+)”
219: Shi Shi (希希) (A-→A)
Shi Shi (希希) in tier list I like it a lot on first blush, and by and large I think I’ll keep liking it as I listen more. Strong start on the first album, it’s funky and fun, the songs feel tight. Easy to listen to pop-production that doesn’t feel boring or reductive, I couldContinue reading “219: Shi Shi (希希) (A-→A)”
218: Ann (白安) (A-)
Ann (白安) in tier list my first impression was generally positive, and but by the time I’d listened to the second album twice through I was pretty on board. The first album was a little repetitive and slow for my tastes, but I think I still appreciate and enjoy it for the most part, I’dContinue reading “218: Ann (白安) (A-)”
217: Michael Wong (王光良) (C)
Michael Wong (王光良) in tier list I like it fine. There chunks of a couple albums that I like all the way through, but for the most part it doesn’t hold my attention consistently at all. There are songs I like, and by and large I like him, I like the vibe and I likeContinue reading “217: Michael Wong (王光良) (C)”

216: Michael & Victor (光良品冠) (D-)
Michael & Victor (光良品冠) in tier list it’s alright. Seems like pretty standard soft rock type of thing. Nothing about it really caught my ear, it’s not really my jam. I don’t dislike it, but I’m comfortable saying I don’t like it. I think it’s mostly boring, D-
215: G.E.M. (D+→B)
G.E.M. in tier list it’s alright. There are parts that draw me in, but then it keeps going and repeating and it loses me. There will be places where in my head I think, “ah, now a bridge to shake up the chords or at least the melody!” and it will just keep looping theContinue reading “215: G.E.M. (D+→B)”
