Steely Dan in tier list It is interesting to me how much my perspective on the band has shifted over the last week and a half. My first impression was super positive. I’d had relatively low expectations and Can’t Buy a Thrill felt steady and super well put together. Super enjoyable to listen to. NoneContinue reading “303: Steely Dan (B)”

302: Gracie Abrams (B)
Gracie Abrams in tier list Man, these rankings are all such a mess. They feel more and more cumbersome all the time. I’ve got a draft of a post in which I’m just complaining to myself about all the reasons my current set-up does not work, listing out the issues and possible solutions. Changing itContinue reading “302: Gracie Abrams (B)”
301: Dysmn (A)
Dysmn in tier list I guess this isn’t really something about the music, but man does this guy put out a lot of music. Well, I say “this guy”. From the credits given from Apple, it’s just this one guy, Dante Lamar Zimmerman. More than that, I have no idea. My internet stalking skills areContinue reading “301: Dysmn (A)”
300: Daft Punk (C+)
Daft Punk in tier list Upon listening to Homework, I quickly became convinced that Daft Punk would almost certainly be a D. I did not enjoy it. While listening, I was really trying my darndest to listen to it genuinely, to listen with an open heart and an open mind, to try to be ableContinue reading “300: Daft Punk (C+)”
299: Metallica (C+)
Metallica in tier list okay, there’s a lot of stuff here. I’m gonna go through album by album a little bit, then summarize. I feel like the album-by-album tells a story about the band that is important, that is a big part of how I experienced them and how I feel I currently understand them.Continue reading “299: Metallica (C+)”
298: George Michael (D)
George Michael in tier list I don’t much care for it. I bounce off of it. I dunno, I don’t think I actually have all that much to say. Sometimes I feel it, I’m groovin’, he has fun hooks. Sometimes it feels like that’s all he has, though. I don’t feel like the hook reallyContinue reading “298: George Michael (D)”
RELISTEN2: The White Stripes (down)
The White Stripes (this one is kinda substantial, actually. worth checking out if you have any interest in the behind-the-scenes on my process for making decisions on this blog)
297: Cody Fry (A-)
Cody Fry in tier list he’s got a self released album I found on YouTube that I think I’d actually like quite a bit if it were given a little love, if it were taken to a producer and cleaned up. He’s got a couple albums that are pretty singer-songwriter-y, which aren’t mind blowing butContinue reading “297: Cody Fry (A-)”
