116: The Orion Experience (B-)

The Orion Experience in tier list some fun songs, but pretty basic, not a lot that really caught my ear- plus, it’s super themey but not in a way that means anything. I love it when bands have themes that motivate and inspire them, that make them cohesive and interesting. Here, it was just “let’sContinue reading “116: The Orion Experience (B-)”

115: Frankie Cosmos (B-→D-)

Frankie Cosmos in tier list I like ‘em fine, but they never really sold me. I think there are two parts to this: one, the songs are kinda samey- the band has a pretty unique sound, but their songs aren’t really anything but that one unique song. hyperbole, but the point stands. two, I thinkContinue reading “115: Frankie Cosmos (B-→D-)”

A Revamp

I’ve overhauled my rankings from B- and below, for a couple reasons. I noticed how many artists were being funneled into B-, noticed how I still had never used the D or F tiers, noticed how I mostly avoided C tier. I’d been putting everybody I didn’t like into C-Tier, and if somebody didn’t offendContinue reading “A Revamp”

114: FINNEAS (D+)

FINNEAS in tier list I just don’t really care about him. Music and lyrics both were just uninteresting to me, very meh. Funny pair of siblings. Billie Eilish is high interest/high repulsion, FINNEAS is just meh/meh

113: Billie Eilish (C+)

Billie Eilish in tier list I want to like it, lots of interesting sounds, cool stuff, but she takes herself too seriously in a direction I don’t want to go. It’s too much, it feels icky. I don’t want to listen to music that feels icky.

112: The Last Shadow Puppets (A-)

The Last Shadow Puppets in tier list don’t like it as much as Arctic Monkeys, not nearly, but maybe it’ll grow on me. Still good

111: Stray Kids (B+→B)

Stray Kids in tier list hit or miss for me musically, has songs I do quite like but also loads that are just… too much, doesn’t feel like music it just feels like sound. I also am against idol culture and the hyperproduction of the band and the brand- that’s not part of the musicContinue reading “111: Stray Kids (B+→B)”

110: Big Red Machine (B-→B+)

Big Red Machine in tier list I don’t dislike it, it’s just very specific and I don’t think it hits all the beats it means to, or the beats it’s trying to hit aren’t particularly interesting to me. Also, I love love love Renegade, but I call that a Taylor Swift song (and so doesContinue reading “110: Big Red Machine (B-→B+)”

109: Taylor Swift (A)

Taylor Swift in tier list I could see her rising with time and exposure because she’s already grown on me a lot in the two weeks it took to get through everything, but I also know I tend to inflate my interest in artists when I’m listening to just them for a while, when theirContinue reading “109: Taylor Swift (A)”

108: Dirty Loops (B+)

Dirty loops in tier list consistent, fun, I think they have a lot of cool and fun stuff going on musically but they can get repetitive and weak wrt actual songwriting (ie. structure/lyrics/length of song/repetition). I think their album with Corey Wong was better for this, a little more thoughtful and less aggressively poppy, butContinue reading “108: Dirty Loops (B+)”
