206: M83 (D)

M83 in tier list I’m not enthused. For the most part, it’s long, slow, instrumental, and repetitive. In other words, super boring. The movie scores I think are the right play for him, that’s an appropriate setting for this kind of music, where part of the design is taking up time and not necessarily actuallyContinue reading “206: M83 (D)”

On the Reduction of Infinite Music (into Musical Canons)

THE COMMENT “What? You haven’t heard of or listened to so-and-so? They’re huge! How could you have not listened to so-and-so? They’re a cultural phenomenon, they’re a fundamental part of modern music! If you haven’t listened to so-and-so, if you don’t know x song, how can you say you know music at all?” This isContinue reading “On the Reduction of Infinite Music (into Musical Canons)”

205: Red Hearse (A-)

Red Hearse in tier list Solid. It’s hard to have much of an opinion with there being only one album. I like it a lot, it was good Jack Antinoff stuff, but I’m just not attached to it, at least not yet. I like it for sure though, good stuff. A-

204: Yoke Lore (A-)

Yoke Lore in tier list I like it, it’s a vibe. It kinda reminds me of Austin Archer, the way the vocals are mixed mostly. I could definitely see it growing on me. There were 35+ songs across singles and eps, plus another 14 in the album. It all feels about the same. Not inContinue reading “204: Yoke Lore (A-)”

New FAQ page

Pretty much what’s on the tin. A new page with FAQs. I’ll be updating it more at need, but I think I’ve got some good essential info in there to start off for now.

203: Young the Giant (A)

Young the Giant in tier list I like it for sure. I don’t know that I love it, but I have no specific complaints and it’s generally enjoyable, I could see it growing on me. Honestly, even the difference between first and second listen was pretty huge, pretty consistently across every album. I dunno ifContinue reading “203: Young the Giant (A)”

202: Dirty Pretty Things (B+)

Dirty Pretty Things in tier list Dirty Pretty Things is solid, a lot more so than I’d remembered. Relistening to Waterloo to Anywhere, it’s great. I originally said “it’s solid”, and like, yeah. That’s true, and that’s about it. Although, I think my first time through, when I ranked it as part of Carl Barat,Continue reading “202: Dirty Pretty Things (B+)”
