184: Niall Horan (B)

Niall Horan in tier list one album in and there’s already a bunch of songs I already knew that I had no idea were him. What I’m feeling, though, is that he’s super competent and able, he writes good pop songs, I like it, I just don’t really care about it. It doesn’t draw meContinue reading “184: Niall Horan (B)”

183: Conan Gray (A)

Conan Gray in tier list I think I like it quite a bit. I was expecting something a lot more down. I was expecting angst, and I can’t say it’s not angsty, but it isn’t depressing— it’s fun, it’s very enjoyable pop music. I’m here for it, I’m in. The lyrics aren’t anything I’d callContinue reading “183: Conan Gray (A)”

182: The Unicorns (C-)

The Unicorns in tier list ait’s… interesting. There are parts, there are ideas that I like and am curious about, but I think presentation is pretty thoroughly lacking, I don’t love it. Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone is better than their very initial stuff for sure, but it still feels a littleContinue reading “182: The Unicorns (C-)”

181: Harry Styles (A+)

Harry Styles in tier list immediate impression was very positive, and it stayed positive throughout. The music is interesting, he’s interesting. I didn’t usually love the songs that he was credited on in 1D. I don’t know if that’s because he stepped it up after going solo or if his style just doesn’t actually mixContinue reading “181: Harry Styles (A+)”

Formalizing RELISTENS (aka Formalizing EDITS take two)

Let’s try this again, shall we? I started formally keeping track of my edits, my EDITS, a while back, and that was great, that was the right call. It was so much the right call, in fact, that I realized I needed to be even more formal and procedural with my editing process. I realizedContinue reading “Formalizing RELISTENS (aka Formalizing EDITS take two)”

RELISTEN1: Jack White (up)

180: One Direction (B-)

One Direction in tier list I’ve been given many reasons, repeatedly, from many sources, to listen to Harry Styles. This is part of that, of the investigation into him. The completionist way I do things means I’m listening to 1D, then Harry Styles solo stuff, then the rest of the 1D members solo stuff, toContinue reading “180: One Direction (B-)”

RELISTEN1: Dua Lipa (down)

179: The Postal Service (B+)

The Postal Service in tier list I’m comparing this to Death Cab, obviously, dunno why I wouldn’t, it’s Ben Gibbard. I think it’s good, it’s fun, there are a good handful of songs I like a lot, and then there are a bunch of songs that I think suffer from some of the same thingsContinue reading “179: The Postal Service (B+)”

178: The Origin (B-)

The Origin in tier list there’s some Smiths vibes coming through here, a taste of Morrissey inspired vocals in the first album. It’s subtle enough that it’s not really distracting, but I do think it’s telling of where the band is coming from, so that’s interesting. First album is decent, second album is better, butContinue reading “178: The Origin (B-)”
