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-)”

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)”
241: Creedence Clearwater Revival: (D)
Creedence Clearwater Revival in tier list I’m not terribly impressed. It’s fine, but I don’t love it, I think it’s only fine. I think it gets better over time, by and large, which is always nice. The last album, Mardi Gras, is my favorite my a noticeable margin, which is honestly kinda gratifying to me.Continue reading “241: Creedence Clearwater Revival: (D)”
238: N.Flying (B+)
N.Flying in tier list they’ve got chunks of songs that I like, and chunks of songs that I think are pretty meh, and a couple of standout songs that are really quite fun. A lot of it felt very boyband-y to me, Western boybandy. Which, I’m not against the Western boyband sound, I think it’sContinue reading “238: N.Flying (B+)”
236: Nicki Minaj (F)
Nicki Minaj in tier list I like to think I’m getting better at listening to hip hop/rap. I still mostly don’t like it, but I do think I’m getting better at it. It’s still tricky, though. I’m predisposed against the vulgarity by preference, but even if I weren’t it doesn’t make a lot of senseContinue reading “236: Nicki Minaj (F)”
234: Novo Amor (A)
Novo Amor in tier list I’m a fan, I’m in. I admit, I’d kinda lose track of it while I was listening, but I don’t think I attribute that to the music lacking anything. Whenever I did tune in a little more, I was impressed and interested. Enough that I just added each album toContinue reading “234: Novo Amor (A)”
233: beabadoobee (A-)
beabadoobee in tier list I’m down for it. It starts out just alright, chill bedroom pop type stuff. Not my favorite, but there’s enough to keep me interested, enough that I like it fine. She definitely gets better as she keeps making music, though. She keeps a lot of the indie/bedroom type of vibe throughout–Continue reading “233: beabadoobee (A-)”
232: Laufey (C-)
Laufey in tier list I can see the appeal, I think, and I almost feel the appeal. But it also, not really my vibe. I’ve done my listen, I went over the instrumental versions, I watched the Adam Neely video essay on her, I’ve got an opinion formed or forming. I don’t actually care tooContinue reading “232: Laufey (C-)”
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)”
228: Gloria Estefan (C+)
Gloria Estefan in tier list I think I’m gonna go with a C+. In a lot of ways, I like her solo stuff more than her Miami Sound Machine stuff. In most ways, really. Instrumentation is usually better, higher highs, more interesting songwriting. What MSM does better is stay simple. They’ve got their albums atContinue reading “228: Gloria Estefan (C+)”
