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-)”

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.

It’s occasionally explicit enough to just be gross and a little bit repelling, but that’s a rare enough it’sContinue reading “161: Beyoncé (C-)”

deca joins in tier list very very first impression is that it’s a little mellow for my taste. I like it, but it is a little mellow, a little slow, a little long. I think that feeling is also exacerbated by how sparse the singing and words are, that always makes things feel longer toContinue reading “160: deca joins (C+)”
