Weezer in tier list 3 fantastic albums, a couple okay albums, and whole bunch of kinda trashy, aggressively mediocre- those 3 albums are so good and the others are so… not, I can’t justify putting Weezer any higher or lower. I think Weezer defines the border between B+ and A

37: Surfaces (A-→B+→C→D-)
Surfaces in tier list super consistent, gets repetitive and dull pretty quick, a couple songs I like but mostly feels so so samey EDIT: consistency feels less and less accurate than repetitive, very much samey EDIT: even the couple songs I like now just feel samey to me, I only have tolerance to listen toContinue reading “37: Surfaces (A-→B+→C→D-)”
36: AJR (A→B)
AJR in tier list not super my jam, but pretty good and they’ve improved with each album. personal all the time, which wears, and it’s always pretty anxious, which wears. mostly I get frustrated with them because basic songwriting is clearly good, but they always add in stuff that feels more to me like effectsContinue reading “36: AJR (A→B)”
35: Alex Cameron (B-→C-→D-)
Alex Cameron in tier list really good songs and songwriting, vulgar and on topics that I’m not sure how to fit in to my listening, or if I want to EDIT1: upon my overhaul he fits better in the C-tier. Lots of stuff I want to like about him, but not enough that I actuallyContinue reading “35: Alex Cameron (B-→C-→D-)”
34: Blossoms (A→A-)
Blossoms in tier list pretty good, don’t like when the instruments and vocals take simultaneous melody, which is often, 3rd album is excellent RELISTEN1: 4th album is pretty good, better than 1 and 2, not as good as 3. that puts it pretty firmly in A- territory I think)
33: Sam Fender (A+→S)
Sam Fender in tier list like him a lot, super consistent with great songs, just all around solid RELISTEN1: just keeps growing on me, songs lyrics albums vibes, I’m a fan
32: Phoebe Bridgers (C)
Phoebe Bridgers in tier list this is the kind of thing where as I listen I can tell that it’s definitely somebody’s jam, it’s just very much not mine
31: Jason Mraz (A)
Jason Mraz in tier list especially albums 2,4,5
30: Upstate (S→S-→A+)
Upstate in tier list pretty much exactly my jam, I love love love this sound EDIT: been thinking about it and if they release another album on par with Healing then that’s an easy S, but until then I think S- is truer EDIT: did a relisten. off the cuff, I like Upstate’s first albumContinue reading “30: Upstate (S→S-→A+)”
29: Co-Stanza (C-→D)
Co-Stanza in tier list fine, a couple good songs, don’t like the sound of his voice EDIT: upon my overhaul he just fit better in the D-tier, there’s not enough stuff I like about him for him to be a C-tier
