Bells Larsen in tier list This one kinda just popped up, I wasn’t planning on listening to it and I certainly wasn’t planning on giving it my full attention, an official listen, but I did. So, bonus, I guess. If nothing else, it was a great reminder to me of how important multiple listens is,Continue reading “290: Bells Larsen (A-)”

284: Collective Soul (A-)
Collective Soul in tier list I like it, I think I’m a fan. I’m curious to see how it’ll sit with me because by the last 3 (of 12) albums I was starting to… not even enjoy it less, that’s not quite right. I wasn’t as compelled by it? It felt more stale to me,Continue reading “284: Collective Soul (A-)”
282: Troye Sivan (A-)
Troye Sivan in tier list I feel that this had a very clear arc, a strong line of progression from “eh” to “oh yeah”. His early stuff, first eps and singles and Blue Neighbourhood, was all fine but I didn’t really care for it. Lyrics and emotion and stuff were there, but the songs shuttlingContinue reading “282: Troye Sivan (A-)”
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+)”
278: Social Distortion (D-)
Social Distortion in tier list I don’t care about it, I don’t know what else to say. It’s boring compositionally, it’s not mixed in a way that makes the sounds themselves interesting or appealing, I don’t like the style of singing (or the lead’s voice, frankly). There’s nothing wrong with any of it, but itContinue reading “278: Social Distortion (D-)”
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-)”
264: Michigander (A-)
Michigander in tier list I listened through all his stuff in an evening once about two years ago. I liked it all well enough, but nothing about it really stuck out to me. I’ve listened to all of that again, now, with more attention and with more experience. After all, I’ve been listening to himContinue reading “264: Michigander (A-)”
259: Tom Cardy (A)
Tom Cardy in tier list I know a bunch of these songs already, I dunno how long I’ve been listening to him on YouTube. Listening to them all in a set, as albums, without the video, did change my experience somewhat. It lowered my tolerance for lyrics that are viscerally off-putting or uncomfortable, and itContinue reading “259: Tom Cardy (A)”
240: Peter Doherty (D-)
Peter Doherty in tier list I’ve decided I just don’t like Doherty’s voice. I think he gets away with it in his other projects, but not here. I just feel like there’s nothing going on here, it’s such a struggle to even listen well. I found myself tuning it out so thoroughly. I’d try toContinue reading “240: Peter Doherty (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+)”
