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+)”
290: Bells Larsen (A-)
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-)”
287: Mon Rovîa (A-)
Mon Rovîa in tier list man I dig it, first impression is strong. It was recommended to me by a friend who called it folk, or maybe folk adjacent, and that’s definitely true. Because of that, though, I was a bit caught off guard in my first listening by how much it takes from hip-hopContinue reading “287: Mon Rovîa (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+)”
