Rooftops in tier list There’s just the one album, A Forest of Polarity. I listened to it four times; it’s pretty short and it’s the only album, so I figured I might as well. It sounds like math rock, I think, it fits the feel. A little bit, I don’t have much more to sayContinue reading “332: Rooftops (A-)”

331: Sarah and the Sundays (A-)
Sarah and the Sundays in tier list These guys had me constantly playing the “who does this sound like” game with myself. I kept feeling like there was someone they sounded so much like and I just could never place it. Their first album reminded me of Ivers, and also someone else I couldn’t getContinue reading “331: Sarah and the Sundays (A-)”
327: alt-J (A-)
alt-J in tier list I was pretty immediately hooked, or at least intrigued. The energy and the vibe is definitely up my alley, the soundscape of it all. Not every song feels like a winner off the cuff, but some of them definitely do, and every song definitely feels like it does good work inContinue reading “327: alt-J (A-)”
323: Queen (B+)
Queen in tier list From their first album in ’73 to The Game in ’80, I think they were enjoyable and pretty consistently getting better with each album. The first two albums I thought were fine, if not anything super special. There were songs I liked, but overall those albums didn’t really stand out toContinue reading “323: Queen (B+)”
317: The Tragically Hip (B+)
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-)”
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)”
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)”
299: Metallica (C+)
Metallica in tier list okay, there’s a lot of stuff here. I’m gonna go through album by album a little bit, then summarize. I feel like the album-by-album tells a story about the band that is important, that is a big part of how I experienced them and how I feel I currently understand them.Continue reading “299: Metallica (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-)”
