LITE in tier list I admit, I’m kinda bummed by this. I was looking forward to it, and the first couple albums had me excited. It’s instrumental, it came into my attention as part of my math rock investigations. I think their first two albums, and also maybe their fourth, are the ones that feelContinue reading “314: LITE (B-)”

313: Justin Bieber (B+)
Justin Bieber in tier list This was a bit of an interesting listen for me because Justin Bieber is hugely famous, a major cultural touchstone, and yet I really only have such an incredibly superficial awareness of his presence. I had a preexisting conception of him, I felt like I knew his vibe, and atContinue reading “313: Justin Bieber (B+)”
312: Liam Gallagher (B)
Liam Gallagher in tier list His first two albums, As You Were and Why Me? Why Not., I liked quite a bit. His second two, C’mon You Know and the one he did with John Squire, I didn’t really care about at all. I don’t think I could tell you what made the difference. That’sContinue reading “312: Liam Gallagher (B)”
311: Beady Eye (D)
Beady Eye in tier list This is, unless I’m totally wrong, Oasis after Noel left. Dunno why I put it off for so long—I did Oasis and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds pretty close to back to back, and just left Liam in the lurch, I guess. My b. I like it fine enough. IContinue reading “311: Beady Eye (D)”
310: wave to earth (B-)
wave to earth in tier list Ack! So late on this! End of the semester is a lame excuse but so it goes. I listened to all the EPs and the one LP so many times. At least four times each. I liked them all decently well, they were a pleasant time, but that’s notContinue reading “310: wave to earth (B-)”
309: Adele (A-)
Adele in tier list I dunno if any of y’all knew this but I think this singer Adele might actually be kinda good. I know she’s probably a little too underground for most people, she kinda slaps. Right now, I think I’ve only got enough of a feel for her to warrant an A-, butContinue reading “309: Adele (A-)”
308: Theo Katzman (A)
Theo Katzman in tier list I admit, perhaps a little bit shamefully, that I didn’t have the highest expectations going into this. Thankfully, I was extremely pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be… I don’t know, “lame” is definitely too harsh, but at the same time I kinda thought it would be lame. I haveContinue reading “308: Theo Katzman (A)”
307: Robyn (C)
Robyn in tier list I feel Robyn goes through a couple phases, has some distinct sounds. Some of them I like a fair bit; some of them I do not care for. Her first album feels too smoothed over to me, if that makes sense. My Truth is way more pop leaning, a little bitContinue reading “307: Robyn (C)”
RELISTEN1: Dayglow (small down)
Dayglow
306: Noah Kahan (A)
Noah Kahan in tier list I like it! I don’t know that I actually have all that much to say here, this is pretty straightforward. I like him, he’s consistent, he makes fun songs and occasionally I happen to like those fun songs quite a bit. That’s mostly it. I was surprised by how muchContinue reading “306: Noah Kahan (A)”
