Jonathan Coulton in tier list got some good ones but also meh ones, but they’re mostly consistent and good RELISTEN1: there are a lot of songs that I’m familiar with that aren’t in my playlist. Which means that when I’d first listened through, I added them to my playlist and later took them off. IContinue reading “11: Jonathan Coulton (B)”

Wham! in tier list their songs tend to be too long, but they’re definitely a vibe EDIT: there are a couple songs I enjoy consistently, but mostly I like them less with more listens. Repetitive, samey, questionable values RELISTEN1: in doing this relisten, I came to the realization that I never actually listened through GeorgeContinue reading “10: Wham! (B-→D)”

WALK THE MOON in tier list on a first listen through, pretty good RELISTEN1: on a relisten I actually liked them way more than I remembered. For albums one and three it was a mix of stuff that was really pretty good and stuff that wasn’t bad or boring but just a little bit awkward,Continue reading “9: WALK THE MOON (B+)”

Plain White T’s in tier list again, fairly standard, like three extra but the rest are just alright  EDIT1: part of the initial big restructure of making Cs, Ds, and Fs useful  RELISTEN1: I was very curious to this going in- it was one of my earliest listens, before I had the strict process IContinue reading “8: Plain White T’s (C+→B-→C-)”

Death Cab for Cutie in tier list except albums 1-3 = D RELISTEN1: Death Cab was one of the earlier artists I listened to. This was back when I hadn’t ironed out the method I have now— I only listened to each album once, I wasn’t consistent about listening every day, and when I didContinue reading “7: Death Cab for Cutie (C→A-)”

Charlie Puth in tier list some fantastic songs but also a bunch of stuff that just doesn’t click for me. overall quality is pretty consistent EDIT: I’m shoving him to B- until he grows up a little, I like his music and production most of the time, it’s good, but every single song is aContinue reading “6: Charlie Puth (A-→B-)”

Train in tier list not super sure, only done a first pass EDIT1: moving down to B- as part of my overhaul, fits better RELISTEN1: better than I remembered for the first four songs and then it kept going and just feels like it gets longer and longer. Not bad but I feel like, what’sContinue reading “5: Train (B→B-)”

HAIM in tier list within songs sometimes feels same-y EDIT1: gets better after multiple listens EDIT2: keeps getting better, super consistent super well crafted songs RELISTEN1: growth largely petered out, stabilized and the albums never really grew on me like the songs did, which is a big deal for me RELISTEN2: This change has beenContinue reading “3: HAIM (A-→A+→S-→A+→A)”

Two Door Cinema Club in tier list within album feels same-y, but only done a first pass RELISTEN1: I like it way more than I remembered. First album kinda rocks. Assorted eps and singles are alright. Albums two and three and four I don’t like as much, but they’re still pretty solid. Album five, KeepContinue reading “2: Two Door Cinema Club (B+→A-)”
