Metallica in tier list okay, there’s a lot of stuff here. I’m gonna go through album by album a little bit, then summarize. I feel like the album-by-album tells a story about the band that is important, that is a big part of how I experienced them and how I feel I currently understand them.Continue reading “299: Metallica (C+)”

298: George Michael (D)
George Michael in tier list I don’t much care for it. I bounce off of it. I dunno, I don’t think I actually have all that much to say. Sometimes I feel it, I’m groovin’, he has fun hooks. Sometimes it feels like that’s all he has, though. I don’t feel like the hook reallyContinue reading “298: George Michael (D)”
RELISTEN2: The White Stripes (down)
The White Stripes (this one is kinda substantial, actually. worth checking out if you have any interest in the behind-the-scenes on my process for making decisions on this blog)
297: Cody Fry (A-)
Cody Fry in tier list he’s got a self released album I found on YouTube that I think I’d actually like quite a bit if it were given a little love, if it were taken to a producer and cleaned up. He’s got a couple albums that are pretty singer-songwriter-y, which aren’t mind blowing butContinue reading “297: Cody Fry (A-)”
296: Wild Party (B+)
Wild Party in tier list it is pretty good! Not much else to say about it; it’s bright and fun and pleasant to listen to. I don’t feel that strongly about it. Low B+ seems good Wild Party complete, now listening to: Cody Fry
RELISTEN2: Green Day (down)
Green Day
295: Spacey Jane (A+)
Spacey Jane in tier list this band was recommended to me as “one of the only real modern bands that are doing something new and exciting” and “[not reliant] on guitars the same way that… other bands in their same space [are]”. Those things are all definitely not at all true. But! I did likeContinue reading “295: Spacey Jane (A+)”
294: PVRIS (A-)
PVRIS in tier list there’s a bit of an arc, here. First album gave me big Paramore vibes, particularly in bits of the vocals that sometimes sounded so much to me like bits of Hayley Williams. The comparison feels so accurate as to be unfortunate, actually, because I very easily prefer Paramore by a goodContinue reading “294: PVRIS (A-)”
293: RADWIMPS (B-)
RADWIMPS in tier list this was a full two and a half weeks, with lots of hour+ length albums. I find that less than four albums and I have a hard time really getting a feel for the band as a band; more than eight and it turns into something of a slog. This definitelyContinue reading “293: RADWIMPS (B-)”
292: American Football (A+)
American Football in tier list My first listen of the first album, I liked it but I wasn’t really sold. It’s a little empty, a little slow. The other stuff I’ve listened to that I’ve seen under the math-rock label has tended to feel somewhat… not frantic, but maybe a little bit jittery? Clever, witty,Continue reading “292: American Football (A+)”
