238: N.Flying (B+)
N.Flying in tier list they’ve got chunks of songs that I like, and chunks of songs that I think are pretty meh, and a couple of standout songs that are really quite fun. A lot of it felt very boyband-y to me, Western boybandy. Which, I’m not against the Western boyband sound, I think it’sContinue reading “238: N.Flying (B+)”

237: Babyshambles (B-)
Babyshambles in tier list it’s alright. I’m gonna give it a B-. It’s not bad, but it feels like it’s just more of the same. Both within itself, and compared to the Libertines.

236: Nicki Minaj (F)
Nicki Minaj in tier list I like to think I’m getting better at listening to hip hop/rap. I still mostly don’t like it, but I do think I’m getting better at it. It’s still tricky, though.

235: Stolen Jars (A-)
Stolen Jars in tier list I think I’m gonna be a big fan. I’m rating this a little conservatively for now because the songs don’t mean anything to me yet, but they’re all totally my vibe. I am increasingly certain that to some degree I just like folk and folk adjacent sounds. It’s such aContinue reading “235: Stolen Jars (A-)”
234: Novo Amor (A)
Novo Amor in tier list I’m a fan, I’m in. I admit, I’d kinda lose track of it while I was listening, but I don’t think I attribute that to the music lacking anything. Whenever I did tune in a little more, I was impressed and interested. Enough that I just added each album toContinue reading “234: Novo Amor (A)”
