BØRNS in tier list I really like it, it’s a lot my jam, but… I dunno. Something about it, or about me listening, I’m not sure which, stalled out after the first album. I listened to the first album and thought, “Wow, strong start, looking forward to the rest” and then on next album IContinue reading “248: BØRNS (B+)”

247: Kendrick Lamar (B+)
Kendrick Lamar in tier list There’s something undeniable about it, even on first blush, even for the songs I didn’t like enough to add to my playlist. I don’t know if I can articulate it very well. I don’t know if I can even hear it very well. I’m still working on that. But itContinue reading “247: Kendrick Lamar (B+)”

246: Who Cares Band (A)
Who Cares Band in tier list It does remind me a little of Accusefive, in a good way. There’s some similarity in song writing and structure, but more than anything else, there’s just some shared feeling, similar energy. Part of me wishes they didn’t make their songs so long because I feel like there’s noContinue reading “246: Who Cares Band (A)”
245: Sabrina Carpenter (A-)
Sabrina Carpenter in tier list the first album sounds pretty much exactly like how I’d expect 2015 pop album by a 16 year old Disney child actor to sound. It’s pretty good, too, but I do think I feel that the style is limiting. Second album is called EVOLution, and it also feels like howContinue reading “245: Sabrina Carpenter (A-)”
244: Woman Believer (B-)
Woman Believer in tier list I don’t know what I was expecting, or really if I was expecting anything at all. I think she was on my list solely because she does vocals for some Vulfpeck songs I like, which doesn’t really tell me anything about her, so it’s not like whatever half-formed expectations IContinue reading “244: Woman Believer (B-)”
243: John Fogerty (D)
John Fogerty in tier list I am a little bit disgruntled, after my take on CCR, to say that I definitely like Fogerty’s solo stuff better. CCR is still attached to a lot of the older blues sounds that feel to me to be a bit formulaic and boring. Which, preference, whatever, but that isContinue reading “243: John Fogerty (D)”

242: The Band Perry (B-)
The Band Perry in tier list this was a really quick listen, just two early aughts country-pop albums, a couple singles, a short EP. They’re alright, I feel like they sound very much like early aughts radio music, like what I would’ve heard on the radio when I was a kid. Which makes sense becauseContinue reading “242: The Band Perry (B-)”
