169: Edie Brickell & New Bohemians (B+)
Edie Brickell & New Bohemians in tier list I think I like this quite a bit. First two albums definitely feel older, not in a bad way just that’s the vibe, you can hear it. They’re solid and I like ‘em, there are individual songs I definitely liked. For whatever reason though, I felt thatContinue reading “169: Edie Brickell & New Bohemians (B+)”
168: Greta Van Fleet (C)
Greta Van Fleet in tier list definitely feels like I’m listening out of order, like I need to go do some catch up, first listen to a bunch of classic rock, Led Zeppelin kinda stuff. It’s very much that. That’s not a mystery, that’s what everybody says about it, but like, yeah. It’s impossible toContinue reading “168: Greta Van Fleet (C)”

167: Louis Cole (A)
Louis Cole in tier list this music clearly comes from a place of great technical skill, but there’s also a lot of goofiness and fun. There is, I feel, a pretty immediate juxtaposition in which Cole simultaneously gives off vibes of who-gives-a-shit and heartfelt sincerity. I like it. It’s a little extra for me sometimes,Continue reading “167: Louis Cole (A)”
166: Sunset Rollercoaster (C)
Sunset Rollercoaster in tier list first album was not at all what I was expected. I think with a name like Sunset Rollercoaster I was expecting kinda ethereal indie pop, but the first album reads more to me like blues if anything. Everything else is more what I expected. After the first album everything isContinue reading “166: Sunset Rollercoaster (C)”
RELISTEN2: Cage the Elephant (up)
Cage the Elephant
165: Zac Brown Band (B-)
Zac Brown Band in tier list definitely country, got the accent and the themes and the instruments and all that- stylistically for sure “country”. But he writes his own songs and they’re fun. Not breaking any molds, but fun. As time goes on it expands from the most basic country archetypes, touches full pop, touchesContinue reading “165: Zac Brown Band (B-)”

164: Dominic Fike (A)
Dominic Fike in tier list super strong start actually, not much out yet but I’m really liking what’s there. Consistent, clean, thoughtful, and very enjoyable. And full length album is solid too. Nothing right now I dislike, no specific issues. I think I just like it a lot, gonna call it a high A. Wouldn’tContinue reading “164: Dominic Fike (A)”
