194: Teezo Touchdown (C)

Teezo Touchdown in tier list I’m feeling a bit of dissonance here. There are parts where I listen and go, “oh yeah, he’s legit, that’s neat”. There are parts where I listen and am left wanting at best, and uncomfortable at worst. Parts that don’t sound good, that don’t sound interesting, that don’t have lyricsContinue reading “194: Teezo Touchdown (C)”

193: Jon Batiste (A)

Jon Batiste in tier list I’m not very good at listening to… any kind of instrumental music, really. I struggle to stay focused, I struggle not to just tune out. And I know that that’s a miss, I can feel it. I’ll be listening to something I know I could like, that I know isContinue reading “193: Jon Batiste (A)”

192: ZAYN (B+→A-)

ZAYN in tier list I like it. Lyrics seem to be fine at best- not really distracting so much as just a waste of opportunity. Which is fine, but the overall presentation and organization was thoughtful enough that I was hoping for better. The music was likewise fun and engaging, but not anything super special.Continue reading “192: ZAYN (B+→A-)”

191: Lana Del Rey (D-)

Lana Del Rey in tier list I feel there are two pretty distinct phases in her music. First half, she sounds to me a lot like Lorde. Second half, she gets less beat-heavy and more slow and dramatic and overtly lyrical. That first half wasn’t super surprising. The first time I ever heard of DelContinue reading “191: Lana Del Rey (D-)”

RELISTEN1: PHOX (small down)

PHOX

190: Louis Tomlinson (B)

Louis Tomlinson in tier list hm. I’m gonna give it a B. A pretty high B, but a B. I dunno, this one was tough for me to rank. I think the “competency” I praised Horan for is present again here, but I think it’s directed in a way that’s more interesting to me. ThereContinue reading “190: Louis Tomlinson (B)”

RELISTEN1: Cake (no change)

Cake

189: NF (D-)

NF in tier list I was super unimpressed with his first two albums, with his pre-Mansion stuff. Songs were way longer than they needed to be, with short repetitive looping beats (four measure max), rapping over the top. I don’t care about it. It’s not fun to listen to, it’s not interesting to read theContinue reading “189: NF (D-)”
