188: Genevieve Artadi (C-)
Genevieve Artadi in tier list it’s got the weirdness/off-kilter vibe present in KNOWER and Louis Cole, but without the stuff that makes me really want to listen closely to it. The weird parts are more confusing than intriguing, and the fun parts are fewer and farther between. I don’t dislike it, I think there’s stillContinue reading “188: Genevieve Artadi (C-)”
187: Liam Payne (D)
Liam Payne in tier list my impression of Payne is weak, both in that I feel his music is weak and that the impression is weak. Nothing about him felt noteworthy, nothing caught my ear. He wasn’t lyrically interesting, he wasn’t musically interesting. His LP reads as a collection of singles, and I don’t muchContinue reading “187: Liam Payne (D)”
186: Elise Trouw (B)
Elise Trouw in tier list she’s got one album released in 2017, and then another album or so worth of songs throughout the next couple years. I like her album less than her singles. That’s a shame because I want the album to be better, I want to reward the making of the album overContinue reading “186: Elise Trouw (B)”
185: NOTHING MORE (A)
NOTHING MORE in tier list yeah okay, I like this, and I think I like it more the more I listen to it. Each album I think is getting better, or at least moving forward. The first two albums, Shelter and Save You/Save Me, are both unavailable commercially. There was a lineup change within theContinue reading “185: NOTHING MORE (A)”
RELISTEN1: Dave Matthews Band (up)
Dave Matthews Band
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+)”
