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-)”

Arctic Monkeys in tier list about half the albums I absolutely love, half are great but not in love category yet, most recent album not sure about yet, overall solid really good

The Libertines in tier list first album (of Libertines) is pretty good, other two are very meh, DPT is solid, CB is fine, overall alright but harder than I like RELISTEN1: I cannot believe I ever described The Libertines as “harder than I like”. If that doesn’t demonstrate how far I’ve come from when IContinue reading “40: The Libertines (B-→B+)”

The Beatles in tier list super consistently mediocre with a bunch of great songs (very) spread out through their albums

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

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-)”

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)”
