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-)”
313: Justin Bieber (B+)
Justin Bieber in tier list This was a bit of an interesting listen for me because Justin Bieber is hugely famous, a major cultural touchstone, and yet I really only have such an incredibly superficial awareness of his presence. I had a preexisting conception of him, I felt like I knew his vibe, and atContinue reading “313: Justin Bieber (B+)”
308: Theo Katzman (A)
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-)”
