LiSA in tier list I’m not entirely sure how much it grew on me and how much I just think it got better over time. It’s interesting to me that it would get better because I’m not totally sure how much of the songwriting and production she actually has a major role in; my understandingContinue reading “274: LiSA (B+)”

Kevin McCune in tier list It’s mixed too quiet. This is a minor issue, but it does bug me when it happens. Aside from that, I kinda dig it, it’s definitely a vibe, and there are definitely a good handful of songs I enjoyed. The second album is definitely a solid development and improvement fromContinue reading “273: Kevin McCune (B-)”

Clairo in tier list kinda super a vibe. Not all the time, there’re songs I don’t jive with, stuff I don’t care so much about, particularly in her earlier singles, but by and large I think she’s great. Particularly her most recent album, Charm. The vibes are there and to be honest the vibes areContinue reading “272: Clairo (A-)”

Razorlight in tier list I don’t love the vocals so much, but I’ll probably mellow out on that. My first impression is that it’s pretty alright, kinda basic but not bad. The first two albums are a little rougher– not in a bad way, just aesthetically more garage rock. I think that probably was betterContinue reading “271: Razorlight (C)”

Dispatch in tier list I think I can get behind this. At least so far, it definitely does feel pretty jam-band-y, which… on the one hand, I think that means songs run longer than they need to. On the other hand, I think Dave Matthews Band has taught me to dig the jam-band-y vibe. Well,Continue reading “270: Dispatch (A)”

The Raconteurs in tier list I think this is actually one of the Jack White projects I like most. It’s super accessible, super easy to enjoy consistently from song to song. It’s more straight rock than the experimental type of stuff that happens in Jack White’s solo stuff, more so than The Dead Weather, butContinue reading “269: The Raconteurs (A)”

Doechii in tier list she had one EP that I thought was pretty legit. If everything were like that, I think I would’ve liked her a lot. As it stands, she had a lot of stuff that was just… I don’t want to say that songs about sex, or even songs that feel sexual, areContinue reading “268: Doechii (C-)”

Saint Motel in tier list solid, I like it. Not much more to say than that. I like the first album and the fourth albums the most, the middle two were a little more eh, but all around I think they’re good and enjoyable, A- makes good sense Saint Motel complete, now listening to: Doechii

Atarashii Gakko! in tier list I was not terribly impressed. I liked it well enough, I suppose. There were a good number of songs I enjoyed, and there wasn’t anything about it that I disliked, but it wasn’t super my jam. I dunno. I don’t have all that much more to say about it, whichContinue reading “266: Atarashii Gakko! (B-)”
