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)”

279: Wallows (B+)
Wallows in tier list most of my energy and interest is in the first album. I don’t even love it all that much. I think it’s pretty good, I give it an 8/10 after my third listen, which is high but not crazy high. I don’t have an emotional connection to it. Mostly, I can’tContinue reading “279: Wallows (B+)”
278: Social Distortion (D-)
Social Distortion in tier list I don’t care about it, I don’t know what else to say. It’s boring compositionally, it’s not mixed in a way that makes the sounds themselves interesting or appealing, I don’t like the style of singing (or the lead’s voice, frankly). There’s nothing wrong with any of it, but itContinue reading “278: Social Distortion (D-)”
