My Chemical Romance in tier list I think I listened to this at a bad time. I know I didn’t pay as much attention as I should have, and I know that even when I was paying attention my heart wasn’t really in it. Maybe that wouldn’t have made a big difference this time, andContinue reading “355: My Chemical Romance (B-)”

354: Men I Trust (C)
Men I Trust in tier list I wanted to like it a lot, and I almost do. I think it’s definitely good, I just don’t think it’s for me. It’s too atmospheric, too easy to ignore and forget about. I found it too easy to zone out while listening. I think it gets more engagingContinue reading “354: Men I Trust (C)”
353: The Scarlet Opera (A-)
The Scarlet Opera in tier list I don’t have much to say, I just really enjoyed this. They’ve only got 12 songs, but they’re all super fun. It’s high energy and catchy and engaging. I don’t know if I feel there’s that much to it, but it doesn’t feel shallow. I might not end upContinue reading “353: The Scarlet Opera (A-)”
352: Dylan Hughes (D)
Dylan Hughes in tier list It’s fine. There are a few songs I like. But, even with those songs I can feel that, a little bit, I’m forcing myself to like them. It’s all too mellow for me by half, and there’s nothing else that particularly pulls me to it. The lyrics are fine butContinue reading “352: Dylan Hughes (D)”
351: Ivers (A-)
Ivers in tier list I first listened to all of this two and a half years ago, in March of 2024. Ivers would’ve been my 192nd artist, between 191: Lana Del Rey (D-) and 192: ZAYN (B+→A-). There’s only a pair of EPs, but taken together I think there’s enough for me to count them. It’sContinue reading “351: Ivers (A-)”
350: Cavetown (A-)
Cavetown in tier list I think this is very good, this is pretty up my alley. I found myself immediately drawn to the energy of it: there is an intimacy and sincerity to it that manages to seep into the feeling of the music instead of just staying stuck in the lyrics. I think thatContinue reading “350: Cavetown (A-)”
349: Bill Wurtz (C)
Bill Wurtz in tier list I first listened to all of Bill Wurtz’s stuff about a year and a half ago. If I’d counted him as an official listen then, he would’ve been my 256th artist, between 255: Sam Dew (B-) and the 256: Eagles (B). I’ve listened to him for even longer than that, though,Continue reading “349: Bill Wurtz (C)”
348: Jamie Miller (B-)
Jamie Miller in tier list I first listened through all of Jamie Miller’s stuff (little as there is) almost exactly three years ago, at the behest of a girl, but he didn’t have a full studio album released at the time so I didn’t count it as an official listen and I didn’t make anyContinue reading “348: Jamie Miller (B-)”
347: LAUNDRY DAY (B-)
LAUNDRY DAY in tier list I’ve tagged this in my internal records as “distinct_phases,” by which I mean that the band has, well, distinct phases. It’s consistent, but only within its distinct phases. I think it’s pretty good in its good phase, but I got tired of its bad phase. Y’know? It’s a little trickyContinue reading “347: LAUNDRY DAY (B-)”
346: Gus Dapperton (A-)
Gus Dapperton in tier list I first heard Gus Dapperton as an opener to 68: Still Woozy (S-) when I went to see him live a bit over a year ago. I remember getting into it and being surprised by how much I liked it right off the bat, which was only emphasized when the StillContinue reading “346: Gus Dapperton (A-)”
