A History

I’ve decided to make a post each time I update The List with a new artist. Nothing much, just artist, rank, and which number artist they are as I’ve ranked them, chronologically. This makes me feel like I’m doing more on this site, yes, but I think more importantly it gives me a record, aContinue reading “A History”

106: Austin Archer (C→C-)

Austin Archer in tier list I wanted to like him, I like a lot of the things he goes for, the audio diary kind of intros to songs, the clear effort to a theme (and a good theme, too), but he never caught me. Too rough, not enough just plain enjoyment to listen to EDIT1:Continue reading “106: Austin Archer (C→C-)”

105: PHOX (A-)

PHOX in tier list only one album but I like it, a little mellow for my tastes but there is a chunk of songs I like and it’s got decent odds of growing on me RELISTEN1: I like ‘em a lot, I’m happy with them as an A-. I’m gonna have to shift them downContinue reading “105: PHOX (A-)”

104: Josh Tatofi (B-→D+)

Josh Tatofi in tier list maybe he’ll grow on me, I dunno. my general impression was that it was all good but pretty samey, and generally too mellow for my tastes- the kind of thing that I wouldn’t mind being played around me, but I wouldn’t turn on myself EDIT: upon overhaul fits better asContinue reading “104: Josh Tatofi (B-→D+)”

103: Jay Chou (B)

Jay Chou in tier list solid, good. pretty samey, and nothing to compensate from lyrics ‘cause I don’t speak mandarin, but not bad and there are a couple songs I do quite like RELISTEN1: I do like him. His first couple albums are really solid. They’re not terribly complicated or clever, but he’s got aContinue reading “103: Jay Chou (B)”

102: Midland (B-)

Midland in tier list solid, i guess. consistent and pretty good, but there weren’t any songs I listened to and liked individually, they all blend together. countrey still sounds samey to me EDIT: very immediate first impression on the relisten was pretty good, actually. I think their songwriting is pretty solid and they’re fun. ButContinue reading “102: Midland (B-)”

101: Glass Animals (B-→D+)

Glass Animals in tier list not my jam. there were songs that I liked and sometimes I’d feel it, but most often it just didn’t click. maybe it’ll grow on me but I doubt it- my favorite of all their songs was the ‘stripped’ stuff in the first album, and the style of their songsContinue reading “101: Glass Animals (B-→D+)”

100: Quinn XCII (A-→B-→D-)

Quinn XCII in tier list I actually have no idea, I could see this going way higher or lower, we’ll have to see. I like it, it’s consistent and good and vibing, though I don’t care for his themes. Honestly, most of the time I was listening to this I was wishing it were StillContinue reading “100: Quinn XCII (A-→B-→D-)”

Triple Digits!

I’m just excited and proud of myself, is all. One hundred artists ranked! That’s 100, one-zero-zero, folks! I’ve been consistently working on this project every day for the last year now (a little longer), though I started it less officially a month or two (or something) before that. I’ve since listened to a loooooot ofContinue reading “Triple Digits!”

99: The National Parks (B-→B+)

The National Parks in tier list pretty good, decent. started folkier and moved toward pop, which I think was not the move for them. I suspect that if they grow on me it will be in their first album- others are fine but very much only fine. They definitely feel like a little bit ofContinue reading “99: The National Parks (B-→B+)”
