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-)”
277: The Chairs (B-)
The Chairs in tier list the first album got me a little bit excited. I liked it a fair bit, and more than that I felt like I liked the idea of it, I felt like I could see where it was trying to go and I wanted to go there too. It turned outContinue reading “277: The Chairs (B-)”
276: Dios (A)
Dios in tier list Super solid. I had to listen to both albums three times– well, more like three and a half– because I kept kinda zoning out. But! When I did finally get my attention on it I liked it a lot, and it was usually just a couple songs that I kept spacingContinue reading “276: Dios (A)”
275: Nickel Creek (B)
Nickel Creek in tier list ehh… I’m mildly torn. The three earlier albums I don’t jive with terribly well. I could see myself liking them, mostly. Maybe if my parents had been into it, maybe if I’d listened to it a lot growing up, it’d be powerful for me now. I think I could seeContinue reading “275: Nickel Creek (B)”
274: LiSA (B+)
LiSA in tier list I’m not entirely sure how much it grew on me and how much I just think it got better over time. It’s interesting to me that it would get better because I’m not totally sure how much of the songwriting and production she actually has a major role in; my understandingContinue reading “274: LiSA (B+)”
273: Kevin McCune (B-)
Kevin McCune in tier list It’s mixed too quiet. This is a minor issue, but it does bug me when it happens. Aside from that, I kinda dig it, it’s definitely a vibe, and there are definitely a good handful of songs I enjoyed. The second album is definitely a solid development and improvement fromContinue reading “273: Kevin McCune (B-)”
272: Clairo (A-)
Clairo in tier list kinda super a vibe. Not all the time, there’re songs I don’t jive with, stuff I don’t care so much about, particularly in her earlier singles, but by and large I think she’s great. Particularly her most recent album, Charm. The vibes are there and to be honest the vibes areContinue reading “272: Clairo (A-)”
271: Razorlight (C)
Razorlight in tier list I don’t love the vocals so much, but I’ll probably mellow out on that. My first impression is that it’s pretty alright, kinda basic but not bad. The first two albums are a little rougher– not in a bad way, just aesthetically more garage rock. I think that probably was betterContinue reading “271: Razorlight (C)”
