The Tragically Hip in tier list Some specifics on things I liked or didn’t like or thought or felt or whatever: I feel like they shine on their slower songs, where they have more emphasis on melody and on lyricism and on emotion. Those songs still aren’t always my favorite, but I tend to likeContinue reading “317: The Tragically Hip (B+)”

315: Nirvana (B-)
Nirvana in tier list I dunno how long Nirvana’s been on my list. Kinda forever? It’s just such a huge name, it’s iconic. I think I kinda flip flop between going out of my way to listen to those kinds of artists and band. They help me understand how other people contextualize music (and giveContinue reading “315: Nirvana (B-)”
314: LITE (B-)
LITE in tier list I admit, I’m kinda bummed by this. I was looking forward to it, and the first couple albums had me excited. It’s instrumental, it came into my attention as part of my math rock investigations. I think their first two albums, and also maybe their fourth, are the ones that feelContinue reading “314: LITE (B-)”
313: Justin Bieber (B+)
Justin Bieber in tier list This was a bit of an interesting listen for me because Justin Bieber is hugely famous, a major cultural touchstone, and yet I really only have such an incredibly superficial awareness of his presence. I had a preexisting conception of him, I felt like I knew his vibe, and atContinue reading “313: Justin Bieber (B+)”
309: Adele (A-)
Adele in tier list I dunno if any of y’all knew this but I think this singer Adele might actually be kinda good. I know she’s probably a little too underground for most people, she kinda slaps. Right now, I think I’ve only got enough of a feel for her to warrant an A-, butContinue reading “309: Adele (A-)”
308: Theo Katzman (A)
Theo Katzman in tier list I admit, perhaps a little bit shamefully, that I didn’t have the highest expectations going into this. Thankfully, I was extremely pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be… I don’t know, “lame” is definitely too harsh, but at the same time I kinda thought it would be lame. I haveContinue reading “308: Theo Katzman (A)”
305: Sungazer (A)
Sungazer in tier list I’ve been watching Adam Neely videos on YouTube for years, now. He is easily one of my favorite creators. He’s fun and dumb and memey in the best ways. He doesn’t take himself too seriously even as he puts tons of time and effort into understanding music and what it meansContinue reading “305: Sungazer (A)”
304: Cuzco (A)
Cuzco in tier list I am so here for it. I think it’s pretty fair to say at this point that if nothing else, I do just dig the math-rock vibe, the aesthetic, the feel of it. Some I like more than others, but as a genre, generally, I’m finding I enjoy it very much.Continue reading “304: Cuzco (A)”
303: Steely Dan (B)
Steely Dan in tier list It is interesting to me how much my perspective on the band has shifted over the last week and a half. My first impression was super positive. I’d had relatively low expectations and Can’t Buy a Thrill felt steady and super well put together. Super enjoyable to listen to. NoneContinue reading “303: Steely Dan (B)”
302: Gracie Abrams (B)
Gracie Abrams in tier list Man, these rankings are all such a mess. They feel more and more cumbersome all the time. I’ve got a draft of a post in which I’m just complaining to myself about all the reasons my current set-up does not work, listing out the issues and possible solutions. Changing itContinue reading “302: Gracie Abrams (B)”
