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-)”
324: Everything But the Girl (C-)
Everything But the Girl in tier list My first impression was quite positive; I was very inclined to like it, to find things to like about it. There was a weirdness, a vibe that I didn’t quite get, but that I wanted to get. In the first couple albums, some songs really hit, and thatContinue reading “324: Everything But the Girl (C-)”
323: Queen (B+)
Queen in tier list From their first album in ’73 to The Game in ’80, I think they were enjoyable and pretty consistently getting better with each album. The first two albums I thought were fine, if not anything super special. There were songs I liked, but overall those albums didn’t really stand out toContinue reading “323: Queen (B+)”
317: The Tragically Hip (B+)
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+)”
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-)”
