Bastille in tier list might get better with time but I’m not holding my breath. I dunno, just never really kept my attention, felt bland and repetitive. Not bad, just… uninspired, I guess. I dunno, I feel like I’m being really harsh and I really don’t feel harshly against them, I like ‘em, they’re prettyContinue reading “126: Bastille (B-→D-)”

125: The Smiths (F+→F)
The Smiths in tier list the albums remind me a lot of Kaiser Chiefs, I don’t particularly like Kaiser Chiefs (and obviously it would be Kaiser Chiefs that remind me of The Smiths, technically, but I listened to Kaiser Chiefs first so that’s my reference). The singles I think are better, but my biggest issueContinue reading “125: The Smiths (F+→F)”
124: David Gates (B)
David Gates in tier list I like it, it’s definitely yacht rock vibes. I listened back to back with Bread so it all kinda blended together so I might need to do a relisten of both sometime with more space between. I definitely felt like they were of similar quality, looking at Bread while IContinue reading “124: David Gates (B)”
123: Bread (B+)
Bread in tier list I can see myself really liking them or not, I’m not sure yet. For now I think they’re somewhere on the edge of a B and an A, I’d say I like them a good bit. They’re pretty consistent, and I like their vibe
122: The Lumineers (B+→D+)
The Lumineers in tier list I could see this rising or not, I really can’t say. I like it fine enough, I like the vibe, there are songs I like, but there’s also a lot that just hasn’t catch my attention. Maybe it’ll grow on me, I wouldn’t be opposed- I do like the stuffContinue reading “122: The Lumineers (B+→D+)”
121: The Smashing Pumpkins (B-→D)
The Smashing Pumpkins in tier list I could see them growing on me or not, I’m really not sure yet, we’ll have to see. They’re not hugely interesting to me: pretty repetitive, albums are too long, I’m not super into rock for rock’s sake. But there were times I was listening where I was like,Continue reading “121: The Smashing Pumpkins (B-→D)”
120: TLC (D-→C+)
TLC in tier list I’m not opposed to them growing on me, but I wouldn’t bet on it. They just weren’t very engaging for me. When they were more musical and did harmonies and stuff they sounded good, but most of the time they’d just have, like, record scratch sounds in the background while oneContinue reading “120: TLC (D-→C+)”
On Charisma
When I use the word charisma, it’s with a fairly particular definition. Charisma is the quality of magnetism, of attractive force. When something draws others into itself, it is charismatic. I believe that charisma is a huge element of media, of music. It’s the hook, the bait, it’s what keeps an audience engaged and attentiveContinue reading “On Charisma”
119: Tim McGraw (D)
Tim McGraw in tier list I just can’t find it in me to care about it. It’s fine enough, it sounds nice, but it’s all the same, and it suffers from everything I always say country music suffers from- lack of originality, oversimplification, being defined by genre instead of letting the genre be defined byContinue reading “119: Tim McGraw (D)”
On Lyrics
Lyrics are interesting because I don’t really listen to them, and that’s always mildly surprising to me. I care about words, I think they’re important. I think poetry has great potential for beauty and I derive immense satisfaction from its potent combinations of words and phrases, its truths and its lies. I love words. AndContinue reading “On Lyrics”
