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-)”
245: Sabrina Carpenter (A-)
Sabrina Carpenter in tier list the first album sounds pretty much exactly like how I’d expect 2015 pop album by a 16 year old Disney child actor to sound. It’s pretty good, too, but I do think I feel that the style is limiting. Second album is called EVOLution, and it also feels like howContinue reading “245: Sabrina Carpenter (A-)”
234: Novo Amor (A)
Novo Amor in tier list I’m a fan, I’m in. I admit, I’d kinda lose track of it while I was listening, but I don’t think I attribute that to the music lacking anything. Whenever I did tune in a little more, I was impressed and interested. Enough that I just added each album toContinue reading “234: Novo Amor (A)”
232: Laufey (C-)
Laufey in tier list I can see the appeal, I think, and I almost feel the appeal. But it also, not really my vibe. I’ve done my listen, I went over the instrumental versions, I watched the Adam Neely video essay on her, I’ve got an opinion formed or forming. I don’t actually care tooContinue reading “232: Laufey (C-)”
231: The Black Keys (A)
The Black Keys in tier list They took a second to ramp up, but once they did they were on it, like for real for real. The first three or four albums are all kinda weak, I feel. They’re super simple and bluesy, with limited instrumentation and a fuzzy garage sound. It’s not bad, itContinue reading “231: The Black Keys (A)”
