Kanye West in tier list kay so. this is a bit of a situation. I knew of a lot of the Kanye West stories already just via cultural osmosis, but even so it’s easy to understate just how wack he is. He’s crazy. He kinda follows an arc. He starts young and crazy, with aContinue reading “163: Kanye West (C-)”

Teddy Swims in tier list I was pretty underwhelmed by the eps and singles, they were all very okay. His album, though (or at least, part one of it), I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy I actually like quite a good bit. There’s still stuff in there I’m pretty apathetic to but there’s also a lotContinue reading “162: Teddy Swims (B)”

Beyoncé in tier list my initial comparison here is obviously to Destiny’s child, right. Immediately I think the general quality of production is higher, everything is really clean, but I’m not sold on actually liking it. 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+)”

Destiny’s Child in tier list for the first and last album mostly I was just bored. Christmas album is pretty good for what it is, even if I don’t like what it is. Albums two and three are both really quite solid, good albums both, I think. All around I like them more than IContinue reading “159: Destiny’s Child (A-)”

Hormone Boys in tier list really good, super solid. Songs on average are a little long (baseline 4 minutes) but they’re all engaging, they all hold my attention throughout. All very consistent, high quality, I enjoy it a lot. My only real complaint is that songs are so long, though it’s not that big aContinue reading “158: Hormone Boys (A→A-)”

Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad in tier list I am trying not to dismiss out of hand, I am, but sometimes it’s really hard for me. I just don’t know how to listen to this (and in my limited experience, to all reggae, though that’s not an empirical observation yet), I don’t know how toContinue reading “157: Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad (D-)”
