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)”
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)”
301: Dysmn (A)
Dysmn in tier list I guess this isn’t really something about the music, but man does this guy put out a lot of music. Well, I say “this guy”. From the credits given from Apple, it’s just this one guy, Dante Lamar Zimmerman. More than that, I have no idea. My internet stalking skills areContinue reading “301: Dysmn (A)”
300: Daft Punk (C+)
Daft Punk in tier list Upon listening to Homework, I quickly became convinced that Daft Punk would almost certainly be a D. I did not enjoy it. While listening, I was really trying my darndest to listen to it genuinely, to listen with an open heart and an open mind, to try to be ableContinue reading “300: Daft Punk (C+)”
297: Cody Fry (A-)
Cody Fry in tier list he’s got a self released album I found on YouTube that I think I’d actually like quite a bit if it were given a little love, if it were taken to a producer and cleaned up. He’s got a couple albums that are pretty singer-songwriter-y, which aren’t mind blowing butContinue reading “297: Cody Fry (A-)”
294: PVRIS (A-)
PVRIS in tier list there’s a bit of an arc, here. First album gave me big Paramore vibes, particularly in bits of the vocals that sometimes sounded so much to me like bits of Hayley Williams. The comparison feels so accurate as to be unfortunate, actually, because I very easily prefer Paramore by a goodContinue reading “294: PVRIS (A-)”
293: RADWIMPS (B-)
RADWIMPS in tier list this was a full two and a half weeks, with lots of hour+ length albums. I find that less than four albums and I have a hard time really getting a feel for the band as a band; more than eight and it turns into something of a slog. This definitelyContinue reading “293: RADWIMPS (B-)”
292: American Football (A+)
American Football in tier list My first listen of the first album, I liked it but I wasn’t really sold. It’s a little empty, a little slow. The other stuff I’ve listened to that I’ve seen under the math-rock label has tended to feel somewhat… not frantic, but maybe a little bit jittery? Clever, witty,Continue reading “292: American Football (A+)”
