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-)”

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+)”

265: Modest Mouse (A-)

Modest Mouse in tier list pretty weak start, ngl. The first five albums, plus the early eps, are just not super fun to listen to. There are occasionally parts that sound like they could be interesting and cool, and there are occasionally parts that do sound good, but they’re kinda few and far between. Mostly,Continue reading “265: Modest Mouse (A-)”

231: The Black Keys (A)

The Black Keys in tier list They took a second to ramp up, but once they did they were on it, like for real for real. The first three or four albums are all kinda weak, I feel. They’re super simple and bluesy, with limited instrumentation and a fuzzy garage sound. It’s not bad, itContinue reading “231: The Black Keys (A)”

203: Young the Giant (A)

Young the Giant in tier list I like it for sure. I don’t know that I love it, but I have no specific complaints and it’s generally enjoyable, I could see it growing on me. Honestly, even the difference between first and second listen was pretty huge, pretty consistently across every album. I dunno ifContinue reading “203: Young the Giant (A)”
