@The Dreaded Marco
Every songs gets 3 full listens, more if I feel its going somewhere and i need to persist. If I havent given it 3 listens, its because something really annoyed me. That will show up in the comments
Prior Knowledge of artist
I had heard Float On and Never Ending Math Equation. They were enjoyable enough, but not enough to make me dive in for more
Expectations
Hoping to enjoy them. Alternative indie from the 00s had some great artists and hoping they could join them. Probably have higher expectations for them than most other artists here
My Reimagined Rankings
31 - Custom Concern
The out of tune harmonies drove me up the wall. Did not enjoy this at all
30 - Novocain Stain
I think I tried 5 times to get into this one and it was like blood from a stone
29 - Tiny Cities Made of Ashes
Love their titles, but just didnt enjoy this one
28 - Teeth Like Gods Shoeshine
Epic song. Not sure im fully onboard with it. Maybe with a bit more patience
27 -Heart Cooks Brain
Interesting song. Not the worst for sure
26 - Gravity Rides Everything
This was enjoyable without wowing me. Starting to get into this
25 - The World at Large
This is quite pleasant. Could really get into this
24 - Dramamine
Bit of an endurance test at first, but persistance paid off with this one
23 - Never Ending Math Equation
Like some of these songs, they sound like the band the Presidents if the United States of America. The humor, the delivery, the musical style
22 - 3rd Planet
Really enjoyed this a lot. As this was the first one I heard, i was expecting this and more. Not quite, but this still sounds great
21 - Float On
Familiarity places this here. I will be curious to see if I find others better. I hope so, but if its my number one so be it
Comments to date - This is probably my most divisive list to date. Some stuff i really like, but other stuff is really irritating and annoying. I think this list is upside down in my rankings vs Marco, so will be interested to hear what is to come. The songs i have enjoyed have been perfectly in synch with my tastes so am looking forward to the rest, probably more than other artists cause, At their best, very happy with what i am hearing. At their worst i want to run away
