Troye Sivan in tier list I feel that this had a very clear arc, a strong line of progression from “eh” to “oh yeah”. His early stuff, first eps and singles and Blue Neighbourhood, was all fine but I didn’t really care for it. Lyrics and emotion and stuff were there, but the songs shuttlingContinue reading “282: Troye Sivan (A-)”

281: Point of Reference (D)
Point of Reference this came up randomly. They had a new single that I happened upon and I liked it enough to look up their name. Just one album, so I gave it a listen right then and figured I might as well just listen again and put something up. I liked it fine enough,Continue reading “281: Point of Reference (D)”

280: The Pretenders (D)
The Pretenders in tier list I was not particularly enthralled. Nothing against them, I’ve got no beef, I think they’re enjoyable enough, sure whatever. But pretty consistently I just felt, meh. Song after song, album after album, meh. It’s alright. Some albums I liked a little better than others but they all kinda blurred intoContinue reading “280: The Pretenders (D)”

279: Wallows (B+)
Wallows in tier list most of my energy and interest is in the first album. I don’t even love it all that much. I think it’s pretty good, I give it an 8/10 after my third listen, which is high but not crazy high. I don’t have an emotional connection to it. Mostly, I can’tContinue reading “279: Wallows (B+)”
278: Social Distortion (D-)
Social Distortion in tier list I don’t care about it, I don’t know what else to say. It’s boring compositionally, it’s not mixed in a way that makes the sounds themselves interesting or appealing, I don’t like the style of singing (or the lead’s voice, frankly). There’s nothing wrong with any of it, but itContinue reading “278: Social Distortion (D-)”
277: The Chairs (B-)
The Chairs in tier list the first album got me a little bit excited. I liked it a fair bit, and more than that I felt like I liked the idea of it, I felt like I could see where it was trying to go and I wanted to go there too. It turned outContinue reading “277: The Chairs (B-)”
276: Dios (A)
Dios in tier list Super solid. I had to listen to both albums three times– well, more like three and a half– because I kept kinda zoning out. But! When I did finally get my attention on it I liked it a lot, and it was usually just a couple songs that I kept spacingContinue reading “276: Dios (A)”
275: Nickel Creek (B)
Nickel Creek in tier list ehh… I’m mildly torn. The three earlier albums I don’t jive with terribly well. I could see myself liking them, mostly. Maybe if my parents had been into it, maybe if I’d listened to it a lot growing up, it’d be powerful for me now. I think I could seeContinue reading “275: Nickel Creek (B)”
