Simon & Garfunkel in tier list definitely better with each album, so many absolutely fantastic songs, a lot of unfortunately meh songs

Colbie Caillat in tier list very consistent, very pleasant, very warm and nice

Still Woozy in tier list only one album, but another dozen songs of eps and singles and I’m impressed, super consistent, super jamming, curious to see where they go in the future both in making more music and in how I like them more or less with more listens RELISTEN1: like more and more andContinue reading “68: Still Woozy (S-)”

Jim Croce in tier list excellent, simple, consistent, I’m expecting this to raise to an S- EDIT1: didn’t grow on me like I’d hoped, still love him but I think he’s stable in his A+ spot now RELISTEN1: get pranked bro, stable shmable. Did a relisten, and my strongest impression for Jim Croce is thatContinue reading “67: Jim Croce (A+→A)”

Bruce Springsteen in tier list very consistent. I feel he uses music as a structure to deliver stories more than he uses it to deliver the music itself- this means the music (especially in such quantities) can become dull and repetitive, and I don’t connect enough with his stories for that to be worth itContinue reading “66: Bruce Springsteen (A-→B-→D-)”

Anathallo in tier list first album good but particular, not charismatic enough, no single songs I really like, second album kind of great, maybe S- album?, it’s tighter and more fun but still artsy and neat RELISTEN1: I don’t know that this relisten actually brought me all that much clarity. I’d wanted the relisten becauseContinue reading “65: Anathallo (A)”

Cage the Elephant in tier list really like the first album, also like the other four but not as much, or they’re different and tricky for comparing. RELISTEN1: on a relisten, I like everything a lot more, really solid RELISTEN2: very very good. I think in my brain I mostly liked it all a lot,Continue reading “64: Cage the Elephant (A→S→A+)”

Sting in tier list albums 2, 4, and 5 are truly excellent, Ten Summoner’s Tales is so so good, he has so many fantastic individual songs- but he also has a ton of other albums that range from pretty good to alright that bring down the average

The Police in tier list got some classics but mostly just fine and not great  RELISTEN1: I feel I had a pretty solid handle on this band before this relisten, on how they sound and how I feel about them. But, I was thinking about them and I realized they’d fit much better as aContinue reading “62: The Police (B-→C)”

Bad Suns in tier list songs a little repetitive/long at times but consistent and good with a bunch of particularly good ones (second album in particular). plus, I like the sound of the guy’s voice RELISTEN1: I don’t care enough about them as artists. Too repetitive and samey within songs, just too meh. A goodContinue reading “61: Bad Suns (A-→B)”
