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-)”
On Ever-Changing Tastes and Preferences
I try to understand the biases I may have in my rankings. I don’t care about trying to avoid them. Ultimately my rankings are more about my preference than about what I suspect is quote-unquote “good”. Of course I’ll take note of those biases as part of my rationale, but they’ll still be a partContinue reading “On Ever-Changing Tastes and Preferences”

190: Louis Tomlinson (B)
Louis Tomlinson in tier list hm. I’m gonna give it a B. A pretty high B, but a B. I dunno, this one was tough for me to rank. I think the “competency” I praised Horan for is present again here, but I think it’s directed in a way that’s more interesting to me. ThereContinue reading “190: Louis Tomlinson (B)”

189: NF (D-)
NF in tier list I was super unimpressed with his first two albums, with his pre-Mansion stuff. Songs were way longer than they needed to be, with short repetitive looping beats (four measure max), rapping over the top. I don’t care about it. It’s not fun to listen to, it’s not interesting to read theContinue reading “189: NF (D-)”
