Mon Rovîa in tier list man I dig it, first impression is strong. It was recommended to me by a friend who called it folk, or maybe folk adjacent, and that’s definitely true. Because of that, though, I was a bit caught off guard in my first listening by how much it takes from hip-hopContinue reading “287: Mon Rovîa (A-)”

286: ZUTOMAYO (A-)
ZUTOMAYO in tier list it feels very J-Pop. Which makes sense, it is J-Pop. I think what I’m feeling is that I am not yet very good at listening to and discerning difference within J-Pop as a genre, so from what I can hear it sounds so on the nose. I don’t have a lotContinue reading “286: ZUTOMAYO (A-)”
285: Grim Salvo (A)
Grim Salvo in tier list I think this might kinda be my shit, this is dope. It’s dramatic, earnest, and thoughtful. It’s got swagger, rhythm, feeling. It feels to me like it harbors such dissatisfaction with itself and the world, and turns that into something awesome. Production is tight, I feel it keeps a veryContinue reading “285: Grim Salvo (A)”

Wham!
284: Collective Soul (A-)
Collective Soul in tier list I like it, I think I’m a fan. I’m curious to see how it’ll sit with me because by the last 3 (of 12) albums I was starting to… not even enjoy it less, that’s not quite right. I wasn’t as compelled by it? It felt more stale to me,Continue reading “284: Collective Soul (A-)”
283: Lauv (D)
Lauv in tier list the only song I remember having heard before is his main hit, I Like Me Better. I don’t particularly like that song. It’s fine, but I find it kinda boring and repetitive. If it comes up around me I’m chill with it, but if I hear it a lot in aContinue reading “283: Lauv (D)”
282: Troye Sivan (A-)
Troye Sivan in tier list I feel that this had a very clear arc, a strong line of progression from “eh” to “oh yeah”. His early stuff, first eps and singles and Blue Neighbourhood, was all fine but I didn’t really care for it. Lyrics and emotion and stuff were there, but the songs shuttlingContinue reading “282: Troye Sivan (A-)”
281: Point of Reference (D)
Point of Reference this came up randomly. They had a new single that I happened upon and I liked it enough to look up their name. Just one album, so I gave it a listen right then and figured I might as well just listen again and put something up. I liked it fine enough,Continue reading “281: Point of Reference (D)”

280: The Pretenders (D)
The Pretenders in tier list I was not particularly enthralled. Nothing against them, I’ve got no beef, I think they’re enjoyable enough, sure whatever. But pretty consistently I just felt, meh. Song after song, album after album, meh. It’s alright. Some albums I liked a little better than others but they all kinda blurred intoContinue reading “280: The Pretenders (D)”
