The Japanese House in tier list solid but really mellow, not sure when I want to listen to it, but consistent and good

Sigrid in tier list a little bit too repetitive (particularly rhythmically) sometimes, but good

Steel Train in tier list really actually very good, solid three albums RELISTEN1: after a relisten, I think I’m pretty happy with the high A- ranking. Good albums, good songs, but also enough minor things I’m iffy on for me to not feel bad about keeping it from A rank (no major change)

Bleachers in tier list solid, not always my jam but solid RELISTEN1: definitely liking it better than I did the first time around. It’s really quite good. I think at this point it mostly is always my jam; there are few to no songs I don’t like, the albums as albums are great, and thereContinue reading “48: Bleachers (A-→A+)”

The Format in tier list pretty good but few standouts EDIT1: I know longer believe this is true. They’ve got some killer songs, and their general quality is also just really high. I think they still stay in A-, no transition to A, but who knows, they’ve been growing on me

Hozier in tier list second album better than first is a good sign, not always my jam but legit, feels like alt rock with a touch of country (in a good way). Edit: this has grown on me EDIT1: this has grown on me

Lovejoy in tier list solid, lots of f words but other than that really like em so far- if not for that they’d be A+, S- with another good album

Maggie Rogers in tier list really solid, lots of good songs, consistent RELISTEN1: I love Heard It in a Past Life. I love it a lot, I always have, it’s one of my favorite albums. When I did my first listen and ranking of Maggie Rogers, it was the only album she had out; it’sContinue reading “44: Maggie Rogers (A+→S-→S)”

Lord in tier list good but not my jam rn, sometimes don’t really know what the appeal is but it’s alright  RELISTEN1: still just not super my jam. There’re songs I like, but the vibe is not my vibe. The first album is mellow and sparse in a way that almost reminds me of AlexContinue reading “43: Lorde (B→C)”

The 1975 in tier list fine, not my jam all the time, plus I don’t care about them thematically, plus they use the f word just so much, lots of songs on the edge of liking that use the f word and turn me off to them, 2nd album prolly best RELISTEN1: after lots exposureContinue reading “42: The 1975 (B-)”
