beabadoobee in tier list I’m down for it. It starts out just alright, chill bedroom pop type stuff. Not my favorite, but there’s enough to keep me interested, enough that I like it fine. She definitely gets better as she keeps making music, though. She keeps a lot of the indie/bedroom type of vibe throughout–Continue reading “233: beabadoobee (A-)”

232: Laufey (C-)
Laufey in tier list I can see the appeal, I think, and I almost feel the appeal. But it also, not really my vibe. I’ve done my listen, I went over the instrumental versions, I watched the Adam Neely video essay on her, I’ve got an opinion formed or forming. I don’t actually care tooContinue reading “232: Laufey (C-)”
231: The Black Keys (A)
The Black Keys in tier list They took a second to ramp up, but once they did they were on it, like for real for real. The first three or four albums are all kinda weak, I feel. They’re super simple and bluesy, with limited instrumentation and a fuzzy garage sound. It’s not bad, itContinue reading “231: The Black Keys (A)”

230: lovelytheband (A)
lovelytheband in tier list I like it all a lot. It’s nothing crazy, but it does what it does really well and I consistently looked forward to the next day’s album. I liked pretty much every album, all the singles, and each one more than the last. To the point that I’m not sure whatContinue reading “230: lovelytheband (A)”
229: Mark Ambor (B)
Mark Ambor in tier list I’m not counting Hello World as an album. That’s arbitrary, but so it is. I like him, all around. He’s super consistent, there’s not really a bad song. There’s not really anything special about the music, but that’s okay. It’s fun and enjoyable and that’s what it’s trying to be.Continue reading “229: Mark Ambor (B)”
228: Gloria Estefan (C+)
Gloria Estefan in tier list I think I’m gonna go with a C+. In a lot of ways, I like her solo stuff more than her Miami Sound Machine stuff. In most ways, really. Instrumentation is usually better, higher highs, more interesting songwriting. What MSM does better is stay simple. They’ve got their albums atContinue reading “228: Gloria Estefan (C+)”
