The White Stripes in tier list might grow on me? Who knows. A couple classics, but otherwise feels to me like pretty standard rock, doesn’t grab my attention, songs aren’t different enough from each other yet RELISTEN1: they’ve grown on me massively. They’re really simple, yes, but I think it’s in a good way. LotsContinue reading “84: The White Stripes (B-→A→A-)”

Neon Trees in tier list consistent, enjoyable, many bangers, may or may not grow on me

The Altogether in tier list consistent and good, consistently pleasant and pretty interesting. I can definitely see this growing on me RELISTEN1: yup, relistened to it with the new album, I really quite like it. Clean and effective with lots of individual songs that I like, and just in general good vibes

Tally Hall in tier list pretty good, second album is legit. overall some stuff that’s just super okay, some stuff I rather like RELISTEN1: first album is alright, the songs that liked that grew on me, that made me want to do the relisten in the first place, are legit. I like those songs. ThereContinue reading “81: Tally Hall (B+)”

Jazz Emu in tier list just total banger after total banger. I think S- is about as high as a comedy band can go for me. Part of it is it’s hard for me to not feel like they’re missing chances to be more, even if they’re doing what they’re doing really well: there’s aContinue reading “80: Jazz Emu (S-→A+→A-)”

Hayley Williams in tier list lead of Paramore, solo stuff is distinct enough for a separate entry. I really quite like the first album, suspect it will grow on me, second album maybe, too soon to say. Overall solid. RELISTEN1: I like it a lot. I just really like Hayley Williams, I think. She’s anContinue reading “79: Hayley Williams (A-→A+)”

Paramore in tier list I can see this growing on me to A- or settling to B, it’s really decent but I’ve yet to decide if it’s repetitive and samey or not RELISTEN1: man, I can’t believe my original listen and rank for this is from almost two years ago… wild. Helps put into perspectiveContinue reading “78: Paramore (B+→A+)”

Dayglow in tier list chill, pleasant. no songs I dislike, just not always super interesting/engaging. pretty alright RELISTEN1: Fuzzybrain is more mid than I remembered it being. I remembered it being a little bit mid, it was more mid than that. I like the songs I like pretty well, and the others I have approximatelyContinue reading “77: Dayglow (B)”

Talking Heads in tier list I like the first album okay, and I like the general vibe, but becomes too long and repetitive, and thus dull  EDIT: after time, I don’t particularly care for the vibe. Like, I can appreciate the vibe, that it exists and that’s neat, but it is more weird and justContinue reading “76: Talking Heads (B-→C-→F+→F)”

The Backseat Lovers in tier list their first EP is fine, their first album is solid, legitimately decent (and consistently so). nothing really special though, and no standout songs RELISTEN1: I quite like the first album, I think that’s grown on me such that if that were all they’d be an easy B+, maybe evenContinue reading “75: The Backseat Lovers (B-→B)”
