349: Bill Wurtz (C)

Bill Wurtz in tier list I first listened to all of Bill Wurtz’s stuff about a year and a half ago. If I’d counted him as an official listen then, he would’ve been my 256th artist, between 255: Sam Dew (B-) and the 256: Eagles (B). I’ve listened to him for even longer than that, though,Continue reading “349: Bill Wurtz (C)”

348: Jamie Miller (B-)

Jamie Miller in tier list I first listened through all of Jamie Miller’s stuff (little as there is) almost exactly three years ago, at the behest of a girl, but he didn’t have a full studio album released at the time so I didn’t count it as an official listen and I didn’t make anyContinue reading “348: Jamie Miller (B-)”

347: LAUNDRY DAY (B-)

LAUNDRY DAY in tier list I’ve tagged this in my internal records as “distinct_phases,” by which I mean that the band has, well, distinct phases. It’s consistent, but only within its distinct phases. I think it’s pretty good in its good phase, but I got tired of its bad phase. Y’know? It’s a little trickyContinue reading “347: LAUNDRY DAY (B-)”

346: Gus Dapperton (A-)

Gus Dapperton in tier list I first heard Gus Dapperton as an opener to 68: Still Woozy (S-) when I went to see him live a bit over a year ago. I remember getting into it and being surprised by how much I liked it right off the bat, which was only emphasized when the StillContinue reading “346: Gus Dapperton (A-)”

343: Flipturn (A+)

Flipturn in tier list I was fully hooked by my first day of listening, just from their first EP, Heavy Colors, and I only liked them more after that. I listened to all of their songs at least four times, I think, and many of them I listened to even more. As it turns out,Continue reading “343: Flipturn (A+)”

340: twenty one pilots (A-)

twenty one pilots in tier list This is a funny band for me, a little. I had some feelings about them before going into it, and those feelings didn’t really come from the music at all. In my head, twenty one pilots are kinda the quintessential middle school band. I have a core memory ofContinue reading “340: twenty one pilots (A-)”

339: Yam Haus (A-)

Yam Haus in tier list They were an opener when I saw 253: Sammy Rae & The Friends (A-) in concert… what, three and a half years ago, now? Dang. Anyway, I liked them enough to put them on my list, then I mostly forgot about them since they didn’t have enough songs released for meContinue reading “339: Yam Haus (A-)”

335: Ne-Yo (C-)

Ne-Yo in tier list I like it well enough, pretty good. I’ve got a lot more to say than that, but broadly I think that’s true. It’s pretty decent. There’s a handful of songs I like a lot, and most of the songs I think are at least alright. I think with most of Ne-Yo’sContinue reading “335: Ne-Yo (C-)”

332: Rooftops (A-)

Rooftops in tier list There’s just the one album, A Forest of Polarity. I listened to it four times; it’s pretty short and it’s the only album, so I figured I might as well. It sounds like math rock, I think, it fits the feel. A little bit, I don’t have much more to sayContinue reading “332: Rooftops (A-)”

331: Sarah and the Sundays (A-)

Sarah and the Sundays in tier list These guys had me constantly playing the “who does this sound like” game with myself. I kept feeling like there was someone they sounded so much like and I just could never place it. Their first album reminded me of Ivers, and also someone else I couldn’t getContinue reading “331: Sarah and the Sundays (A-)”
