American Authors in tier list some good songs, pretty consistent, not amazing

Smallpools in tier list solid across the board, no favorite songs but all pretty good

COIN in tier list good, consistent, first two albums are really good and then two meh and then most recent steps it up RELISTEN1: I did a little relisten and I liked it more than I remembered. I think it’s fair to bump it up from top A- to bottom A RELISTEN2: first album IContinue reading “52: COIN (A-→A)”

The Japanese House in tier list solid but really mellow, not sure when I want to listen to it, but consistent and good

Sigrid in tier list a little bit too repetitive (particularly rhythmically) sometimes, but good

Steel Train in tier list really actually very good, solid three albums RELISTEN1: after a relisten, I think I’m pretty happy with the high A- ranking. Good albums, good songs, but also enough minor things I’m iffy on for me to not feel bad about keeping it from A rank (no major change)

Bleachers in tier list solid, not always my jam but solid RELISTEN1: definitely liking it better than I did the first time around. It’s really quite good. I think at this point it mostly is always my jam; there are few to no songs I don’t like, the albums as albums are great, and thereContinue reading “48: Bleachers (A-→A+)”

The Format in tier list pretty good but few standouts EDIT1: I know longer believe this is true. They’ve got some killer songs, and their general quality is also just really high. I think they still stay in A-, no transition to A, but who knows, they’ve been growing on me

Hozier in tier list second album better than first is a good sign, not always my jam but legit, feels like alt rock with a touch of country (in a good way). Edit: this has grown on me EDIT1: this has grown on me

Lovejoy in tier list solid, lots of f words but other than that really like em so far- if not for that they’d be A+, S- with another good album
