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.

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)”

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+)”

227: Miami Sound Machine (B-)
Miami Sound Machine in tier list I at first only saw Let It Loose, which is credited to MSM and Estefan as separate artists, and I figured I could combine this with Estefan. I quickly realized my mistake, so this’ll go in as its own artist, and I’ll be starting Estefan’s solo stuff in earnestContinue reading “227: Miami Sound Machine (B-)”
