Beyoncé in tier list my initial comparison here is obviously to Destiny’s child, right. Immediately I think the general quality of production is higher, everything is really clean, but I’m not sold on actually liking it. It’s occasionally explicit enough to just be gross and a little bit repelling, but that’s a rare enough it’sContinue reading “161: Beyoncé (C-)”

deca joins in tier list very very first impression is that it’s a little mellow for my taste. I like it, but it is a little mellow, a little slow, a little long. I think that feeling is also exacerbated by how sparse the singing and words are, that always makes things feel longer toContinue reading “160: deca joins (C+)”

Destiny’s Child in tier list for the first and last album mostly I was just bored. Christmas album is pretty good for what it is, even if I don’t like what it is.

All very consistent, high quality, I enjoy it a lot. My only real complaint is that songs are so long, though it’s not that big aContinue reading “158: Hormone Boys (A→A-)”

I just don’t know how to listen to this (and in my limited experience, to all reggae, though that’s not an empirical observation yet), I don’t know how toContinue reading “157: Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad (D-)”

No Party for Cao Dong (草東沒有派對) in tier list kinda slaps, ngl. Both albums are pretty stellar all the way through. Definitely of a kind with other indie rock I do know, especially I think Lovejoy and bits of Backseat Lovers reminded themselves to me pretty strong. Except, this I think is of a distinctlyContinue reading “156: No Party for Cao Dong (草東沒有派對) (A)”
