294: PVRIS (A-)

PVRIS in tier list there’s a bit of an arc, here. First album gave me big Paramore vibes, particularly in bits of the vocals that sometimes sounded so much to me like bits of Hayley Williams. The comparison feels so accurate as to be unfortunate, actually, because I very easily prefer Paramore by a goodContinue reading “294: PVRIS (A-)”

293: RADWIMPS (B-)

RADWIMPS in tier list this was a full two and a half weeks, with lots of hour+ length albums. I find that less than four albums and I have a hard time really getting a feel for the band as a band; more than eight and it turns into something of a slog. This definitelyContinue reading “293: RADWIMPS (B-)”

292: American Football (A+)

American Football in tier list My first listen of the first album, I liked it but I wasn’t really sold. It’s a little empty, a little slow. The other stuff I’ve listened to that I’ve seen under the math-rock label has tended to feel somewhat… not frantic, but maybe a little bit jittery? Clever, witty,Continue reading “292: American Football (A+)”

291: Piglet (A-)

Piglet in tier list I admit it didn’t grab me like Clever Girl but it’s still very solid, I’m still on board for sure. It’s hard to say how much of that is because I actually like it less and how much is just because it’s no longer super new and exciting the way CleverContinue reading “291: Piglet (A-)”

290: Bells Larsen (A-)

Bells Larsen in tier list This one kinda just popped up, I wasn’t planning on listening to it and I certainly wasn’t planning on giving it my full attention, an official listen, but I did. So, bonus, I guess. If nothing else, it was a great reminder to me of how important multiple listens is,Continue reading “290: Bells Larsen (A-)”

289: Clever Girl (A)

Clever Girl in tier list I believe this is an appropriate time to take up the parlance of the youths and say, “this shit is straight fire”. Because this shit is, in fact, straight fire. I’m about to go on a math rock tear. Or prog rock or whatever you call it, labels are forContinue reading “289: Clever Girl (A)”

288: Blind Pilot (A-)

Blind Pilot in tier list I like it, I tend to like folk and folk adjacent stuff pretty easy. There were a smattering of songs in every album that I liked a lot and there weren’t really any songs I didn’t like. I think I’d be inclined to like And Then Like Lions a bitContinue reading “288: Blind Pilot (A-)”

287: Mon Rovîa (A-)

Mon Rovîa in tier list man I dig it, first impression is strong. It was recommended to me by a friend who called it folk, or maybe folk adjacent, and that’s definitely true. Because of that, though, I was a bit caught off guard in my first listening by how much it takes from hip-hopContinue reading “287: Mon Rovîa (A-)”

286: ZUTOMAYO (A-)

ZUTOMAYO in tier list it feels very J-Pop. Which makes sense, it is J-Pop. I think what I’m feeling is that I am not yet very good at listening to and discerning difference within J-Pop as a genre, so from what I can hear it sounds so on the nose. I don’t have a lotContinue reading “286: ZUTOMAYO (A-)”

285: Grim Salvo (A)

Grim Salvo in tier list I think this might kinda be my shit, this is dope. It’s dramatic, earnest, and thoughtful. It’s got swagger, rhythm, feeling. It feels to me like it harbors such dissatisfaction with itself and the world, and turns that into something awesome. Production is tight, I feel it keeps a veryContinue reading “285: Grim Salvo (A)”
