The Dead Weather in tier list I like it, it definitely feels to me like an extension of Jack White stuff, which makes sense ‘cause it is. More Jack White than White Stripes, it’s good. Definitely a different vibe/mood than I normally listen to but I do like it

Wilco in tier list this is a very probationary ranking, I think. I like them, I like their vibe. They’re thoughtful and consistent. Not very super fun/exciting (even if mostly pretty engaging) to listen to, though, and no real standout songs. I am very curious to see how I’ll feel about them when given someContinue reading “137: Wilco (B)”

TV Girl in tier list barely not a D. I almost like it, I like the vibe, it’s just so boring, it’s so repetitive. Gah! I dig it as background music, but it just cannot stand up to any concentrated attention from me

Everything Everything in tier list this was tricky for me to place. I like them, generally, they’re fun to listen to. Also really hard to listen to. They’ve got a real bad case of impossible-to-tell-what-on-earth-they’re-saying, and honestly even after I look up and read the lyrics I’m not sure that goes away, the lyrics areContinue reading “135: Everything Everything (A-→A)”

Depeche Mode in tier list sooooo boring, so consistently not engaging. Just, tons of albums, the albums are too long, the songs in the albums are too long. It’s all samey and repetitive and I got tired of it so fast, and it was never able to grow on me to make up the difference.Continue reading “134: Depeche Mode (D-)”

boygenius in tier list some songs I like, lots of songs that seem nice but aren’t my vibe. I dunno, seem alright but not my jam RELISTEN1: the half of the record (the name of the record is the record, for those unfamiliar) that I like, I really like quite a lot. The half ofContinue reading “133: boygenius (B)”

Foo Fighters in tier list I like ‘em a lot, I like the vibe, like lots of individual songs, like a bunch of their albums as albums, I feel like they do a good job of finding the line between consistent and exploratory. Could definitely see them growing on me

Ben Folds in tier list Initially I merged Ben Folds and Ben Folds Five into one ranking ‘cause they’re both mostly Ben Folds and I didn’t feel they felt different enough from each other to warrant two separate rankings. Did a RELISTEN1: definitely think that was a mistake, they’re totally different, and I think IContinue reading “131: Ben Folds (A)”

Reliably Bad in tier list just one album and some singles, but I like it. Super consistent, bright, fun, funky. Don’t like it as much as other stuff that it reminds me of (upstate, sammy rae), but I could say that changing with time. We’ll see how it grows on me RELISTEN1: it never reallyContinue reading “130: Reliably Bad (A-→B)”

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in tier list significantly better than Oasis, just instantly way more polished and better put together, I feel. Not a ton of individual songs I love, but the overall quality is high, and the second two albums I liked quite a bit as albums. Would not be at all surprisedContinue reading “129: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (A-)”
