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-)”

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)

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

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

Jason Mraz in tier list especially albums 2,4,5

They were one of the first bands I listened to, I’ve had a lot of exposure to them by now. I thought there was a good chance I’d hear them differently this go ‘round,Continue reading “28: Of Monsters and Men (B)”

Capital Cities in tier list groovy, consistent, gets very repetitive and stale EDIT: the more I listen the less I like it. Still a couple songs I really enjoy but by and large it just feels samey. Down to a D

Valley in tier list songs feel a little forgettable but they’re all quality, good songs EDIT1: and I don’t super click with the overall theme, it’s a little mopey for me RELISTEN1: I like This Room Is White and MAYBE a lot. A lot a lot, both are great, solid, good albums. Many songs IContinue reading “26: Valley (A-→B+→A-)”
