RANK THE ALBUMS

[stip]

I've never given numerical rankings

Vitalogy: 10
Ten: 10
Vs: 9
Lightning Bolt: 8
Backspacer: 8
S/t: 7
Yield: 7
No Code: 6
Binaural: 5
Riot Act: 5


These rankings are internal to the catalog. I still love Riot Act more than most other records I own

Self Titled over Yield and No Code. You're insane. Objectively insane.

[stip]

S/t and Yield are basically tied. But S/T's top songs aren't as played out as Yields.

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

Yield is a collection of strong, well-written & well-recorded songs. Self-titled is a collection of generic, poorly-written and badly-recorded crap. That's why S/T belongs at the bottom and Yield at the top. I can't even imagine how anyone could find them "equals", but leave it to stip.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

That's like saying these are the same:

[Kaius]

Has anyone actually ever seen poop that curled up like that?

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Has anyone actually ever seen poop that curled up like that?

With proper rectal control, anything is possible.

[96583UP]

that's like the best in show of the westminster poop show

That's an oddball top three you have happening there, knee.

That's an oddball top three you have happening there, knee.

And bottom three.

I wouldn't quibble with anyone who had Riot Act at the top but then ehhh

There are uncharitable days where I feel like people who are uniformly blown away by yield are just too easily impressed.

I think you just described the target audience PJ had in mind with Yield.

I love playing nonsense. I am going to love it even more when this list gets shredded:

1. No Code (10/10)
2. Vitalogy (10/10)
3. Ten (10/10)
4. Vs. (10/10)
5. Yield (10/10)
6. Lightning Bolt (10/10)
7. s/t (9.5/10)
8. Binaural (9/10)
9. Riot Act (8.5/10)
10. Backspacer (7.5/10)

If I were to number rank a few related side albums: Mirrorball/Merkinball (10/10), Into the Wild (10/10), Temple of the Dog (10/10), Ukelele Songs (9.5/10), Moonlander (9/10), Bayleaf (9/10), Tres Mts (8/10), Acts (8/10)...I'm not engaging in any more of these.

For the nrecord, Lost Dogs would also be an 8.5/10 for me.
