I've been a fan of the boy band since they dropped the SATURATION Trilogy, so I was pretty hyped when BUZZCUT dropped along w/ the announcement of the album dropping like 2 weeks after. I saw a lot of Joba being featured in the promotion, so I was hyped that this might be a Joba-heavy album. He's definitely the most diverse member of the band in terms of singing/rapping/production. Anyways here's my ranking of the album. This doesn't include the physical exclusive tracks because I haven't listened to them yet oop. If you disagree, no you don't 💖💖
===GOD TIER===
1. THE LIGHT
2. BUZZCUT FT. DANNY BROWN
3. BANKROLL FT. A$AP ROCKY & A$AP FERG
4. THE LIGHT PT. II
5. WHAT'S THE OCCASION
6. DON'T SHOOT UP THE PARTY
===REALLY GOOD===
7. I'LL TAKE YOU ON FT. CHARLIE WILSON
8. WINDOWS FT. SOGONE SOFLEXY
9. WHEN I BALL
10. CHAIN ON FT. JPEGMAFIA
11. COUNT ON ME
===GOOD===
12. OLD NEWS FT. BAIRD
13. DEAR LORD
Notes:
- Ok I called it, this album is basically Joba ft. BROCKHAMPTON.
- Lowkey upset that Merlyn and Dom aren't on here as much as I'd like them to be.
- DEAR LORD is only as low as it is just cause I'm not a huuuuge fan of Gospel, more so like religious-y music in general tho. bearface is great on here, though.
- I did cry after THE LIGHT PT. II
- These are all great features, though I wish Charlie was on here more than just as an intro and outro. He's the GOAT of hooks for a reason.
- Overall ranking in their projects would be RR > i > S III > G > S II > S I > AAT . They get better every album, GINGER sonically is better than iridescence but I'm just not a big fan personally.
RANKING next: Maybe ARTPOP? Maybe When I Get Home? Maybe other things idk?
Galaxies I would say start with the SATURATION trilogy and go in chronological order, basically. If there's like 13 quintessential songs to stream, it would be the following:
STAR, GOLD, FACE / QUEER, JUNKY / BLEACH, BOOGIE / J'OUVERT, NEW ORLEANS / BOY BYE, SUGAR / BUZZCUT & COUNT ON ME
There are like 2 songs from each album, with SAT I with a third track.
