Talking in the All Saints thread about the different ways we rate albums and how some people (me) are more conservative than others. There is no right way to rate your loon albums but is always fun to see a TRUE CRAZY RATE

rate your faves here!

this is how I rate Madonna’s Ray Of Light, still the greatest album ever made:

10 Drowned World
10 Swim
09 Ray of Light
10 Candy Perfume Girl
08 Skin
10 Nothing Really Matters
10 Sky Fits Heaven
08 Ashanti
10 Frozen
11 The Power of Goodbye
09 To Have And Not to Hold
09 Little Star
08 Mer Girl
 
10 spinning around
11 On a Night Like This
10 So Now Goodbye
10 Disco Down
07 Loveboat
07 Koocachoo
1,000,000 Your disco needs you
10 Please Stay
09 Bittersweet Goodbye
11 Butterfly
09 Under the Influence of Love
07 I’m so High
10 Kids
08 Light years

On first thought. I may have albums I like more, but I can’t think of any right now
 
Butterfly by the Legendary Ms. Mariah Carey

11 Honey
10 Butterfly
10 My All
16 The Roof
10 Fourth of July
13 Breakdown
10 Babydoll
13 Close My Eyes
14 Whenever You Call
10 Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)
15 The Beautiful Ones
10 Outside

However, this scoring is on the a conservative side.
 
10 Marry the Night
08 Born This Way
10 Government Hooker
08 Judas
10 Americano
08 Hair
09 Scheiße
10 Bloody Mary
07 Black Jesus † Amen Fashion
07 Bad Kids
10 Fashion of His Love (Fernando Garibay Remix)
10 Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)
11 Heavy Metal Lover
09 Electric Chapel
06 The Queen
10 You and I (Mark Taylor’s Shania Twain Remix)
09 The Edge of Glory
 
This is quite a tough task as a lot of the albums I love I would score highly/solidly on the individual songs but not spectacularly yet as a body of work it’s amazing. Likewise a lot of pop albums might have high flying individual scores but altogether is too much.
 
08 Ashanti

Is it too early for Miss Abthrojpoecene? Would the scores lie?

11 So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth
10 Darkseid
08 Delete Forever
09 Violence
11 4ÆM
10 New Gods
11 My Name Is Dark
08 You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around
10 Before the Fever
08 Idoru
10 We Appreciate Power
 
Ben Howard’s Every Kingdom is probably the only album to trouble ROL for me in the past 20 years. Probably not moopy-adjacent but here it is anyway:

09 Old Pine
07 Diamonds
10 The Wolves
08 Everything
09 Only Love
10 The Fear
11 Keep Your Head Up
10 Black Flies
10 Gracious
10 Promise
 
Then of course there’s this:

08 All I Really Want
10 You Oughtta Know
10 Perfect
10 Hand In My Pocket
09 Right Through You
10 Forgiven
10 You Learn
07 Head Over Feet
10 Mary Jane
10 Ironic
07 Not The Doctor
07 Wake Up

I’ve always contested that JLP doesn’t have one stand out epic track, but the fact that it’s so mind boggingly consistent from start to finish with amazing songs is what makes it so special
 
10 Drowned World
09 Swim
11 Ray of Light
08 Candy Perfume Girl
09 Skin
10 Nothing Really Matters
11 Sky Fits Heaven
07 Shanti
11 Frozen
11 The Power of Goodbye
08 To Have And Not to Hold
08 Little Star
10 Mer Girl
 
Sundfør session now in progress

‘Oblivion’ is pure perfection.

‘Mountaineers’ was the first song I wanted to hear after ten days silent meditation. It was a perfect moment with ALL the feels.

I <3 Music For People In Trouble so much. It's a total GROWER of an album, and also quite SEASONAL (Winter), but a beautiful counterpoint to Ten Love Songs.

White Foxes and The Silicon Veil album remain a TOWERING TRIUMPH TOO ofc :disco:
 
You definitely should Suedey! Ten Love songs is definitely her most electro/big sounding album. Her other efforts are bit more laid back. But if you like that electro sound you should also check her collabs with Röyksopp, Kleerup and M83.

Is there a Sundfør album rate somewhere?

‘The silicone veil’ quite possibly tops TLS for me
 
Anyway.

Susanne stan aside, I think my favourite album would probably be The B-52’s, Wild Planet or Cosmic Thing.

Or World Clique.
