196: Feed Me Jack (A→A+)

Feed Me Jack in tier list I like every single song, and most of them more than just a little bit. This came onto my radar via connection to Sven Gamsky- this was the band he was in before he went solo as Still Woozy. I don’t know that I have a ton to say,Continue reading “196: Feed Me Jack (A→A+)”

195: The Airborne Toxic Event (B-)

The Airborne Toxic Event in tier list it’s alright but I think nothing special. The more of it I listen to, the more I feel that. I don’t dislike it at all, but I can’t justify too high a ranking. There are enough songs I don’t care about, enough songs I struggle giving a coherentContinue reading “195: The Airborne Toxic Event (B-)”

194: Teezo Touchdown (C)

Teezo Touchdown in tier list I’m feeling a bit of dissonance here. There are parts where I listen and go, “oh yeah, he’s legit, that’s neat”. There are parts where I listen and am left wanting at best, and uncomfortable at worst. Parts that don’t sound good, that don’t sound interesting, that don’t have lyricsContinue reading “194: Teezo Touchdown (C)”

193: Jon Batiste (A)

Jon Batiste in tier list I’m not very good at listening to… any kind of instrumental music, really. I struggle to stay focused, I struggle not to just tune out. And I know that that’s a miss, I can feel it. I’ll be listening to something I know I could like, that I know isContinue reading “193: Jon Batiste (A)”

192: ZAYN (B+→A-)

ZAYN in tier list I like it. Lyrics seem to be fine at best- not really distracting so much as just a waste of opportunity. Which is fine, but the overall presentation and organization was thoughtful enough that I was hoping for better. The music was likewise fun and engaging, but not anything super special.Continue reading “192: ZAYN (B+→A-)”

191: Lana Del Rey (D-)

Lana Del Rey in tier list I feel there are two pretty distinct phases in her music. First half, she sounds to me a lot like Lorde. Second half, she gets less beat-heavy and more slow and dramatic and overtly lyrical. That first half wasn’t super surprising. The first time I ever heard of DelContinue reading “191: Lana Del Rey (D-)”
