267: Saint Motel (A-)

Saint Motel in tier list solid, I like it. Not much more to say than that. I like the first album and the fourth albums the most, the middle two were a little more eh, but all around I think they’re good and enjoyable, A- makes good sense Saint Motel complete, now listening to: Doechii

266: Atarashii Gakko! (B-)

Atarashii Gakko! in tier list I was not terribly impressed. I liked it well enough, I suppose. There were a good number of songs I enjoyed, and there wasn’t anything about it that I disliked, but it wasn’t super my jam. I dunno. I don’t have all that much more to say about it, whichContinue reading “266: Atarashii Gakko! (B-)”

265: Modest Mouse (A-)

Modest Mouse in tier list pretty weak start, ngl. The first five albums, plus the early eps, are just not super fun to listen to. There are occasionally parts that sound like they could be interesting and cool, and there are occasionally parts that do sound good, but they’re kinda few and far between. Mostly,Continue reading “265: Modest Mouse (A-)”

264: Michigander (A-)

Michigander in tier list I listened through all his stuff in an evening once about two years ago. I liked it all well enough, but nothing about it really stuck out to me. I’ve listened to all of that again, now, with more attention and with more experience. After all, I’ve been listening to himContinue reading “264: Michigander (A-)”

263: Stevie Wonder (B-)

Stevie Wonder in tier list Before anything else, I’m gonna go over my process a little bit– how I’ve been considering revisiting it, and how I tested out some adjustments in this listen. The problem I’m trying to solve is that there are artists, older ones in particular, who have enormous catalogues. Stevie Wonder, forContinue reading “263: Stevie Wonder (B-)”

262: Olive Klug (B)

Olive Klug in tier list I like it, it’s good. She keeps it pretty simple, but it does what it does well and I respect it. Solid B Olive Klug complete, now listening to: Stevie Wonder

RELISTEN1: TLC (up)

TLC

261: Punch (B)

Punch in tier list reminds me a lot of Jay Chou. Not totally, and I think it’s diverging more as I keep listening, as she kept making music, but the resemblance is definitely there pretty strong. I feel that way, at least, which is all that matters for me making this decision. I think itContinue reading “261: Punch (B)”

260: Chappell Roan (B)

Chappell Roan in tier list I like her pretty well. Her first EP, her earlier songs, I don’t so much care for. She’s clearly got an amazing voice, but I’m just not a big fan of those slower songs, something in the melody or harmony or lyrics has to really hit for me to getContinue reading “260: Chappell Roan (B)”

259: Tom Cardy (A)

Tom Cardy in tier list I know a bunch of these songs already, I dunno how long I’ve been listening to him on YouTube. Listening to them all in a set, as albums, without the video, did change my experience somewhat. It lowered my tolerance for lyrics that are viscerally off-putting or uncomfortable, and itContinue reading “259: Tom Cardy (A)”
