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.
My top 3 albums of all time - rated! MADONNA - Like A Prayer 11 Like A Prayer 10 Express Yourself 08 Love Song 10 Till Death Do Us Part 09 Promise To Try 09 Cherish 09 Dear Jessie 10 Oh Father 09 Keep It Together 09 Spanish Eyes 08 Act Of Contrition DAVID BOWIE - Low 10 Speed Of Life 10 Breaking Glass 09 What In The World 11 Sound & Vision 10 Always Crashing In The Same Car 08 Be My Wife 10 A New Career In A New Town 10 Warszawa 09 Art Decade 08 Weeping Wall 09 Subterraneans AIMEE MANN - Lost In Space 11 Humpty Dumpty 10 High On Sunday 51 09 Lost In Space 10 This Is How It Goes 08 Guys Like Me 10 Pavlov's Bells 09 Red Bad News 10 Invisible Ink 08 Today's The Day 10 The Moth 10 It's Not
08 Darlings 11 Accelerate 11 Fade Away 09 Silencer 10 Kamikaze 09 Memorial 11 Delirious 09 Slowly 07 Trust Me 07 Insects
same! Also I’m going to have an existential crisis over what my favorite album is. I just can’t decide
Hunter - 11 Jóga - 10 Unravel - 11 Bachelorette - 10 All Neon Like - 10 5 Years - 09 Immature - 09 Alarm Call - 10 Pluto - 11 All Is Full Of Love - 11
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 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
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.
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
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
Anyway. Susanne stan aside, I think my favourite album would probably be The B-52’s, Wild Planet or Cosmic Thing. Or World Clique.
Taylor Swift - 1989 09 Welcome to New York 11 Blank Space 10 Style 10 Out of the Woods 09 All You Had to Do Was Stay 09 Shake it Off 08 I Wish You Would 07 Bad Blood 10 Wildest Dreams 08 How You Get the Girl 10 This Love 08 I Know Places 08 Clean 07 Wonderland 10 You Are in Love 11 New Romantics

As you know @POP! I'm no Britney fan but I do remember the buzz around that album. It felt like she had released something really important in her career.
And "tiger bay" (German edition) 10 Urban Clearway 11 He's On The Phone 08 Former Lover 09 I Buy American Records 10 Hug My Soul 10 Like A Motorway 08 Grovely Road 09 On The Shore 10 Pale Movie 08 Hate Your Drug 08 Marble Lions 08 Cool Kids of Death 07 Western Wind 08 Tankerville 10 Boy Scouts of America
Great thread idea. Limiting myself to three 11s per album... Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - Alanis 10 Front Row 11 Baba 10 Thank U 08 Are You Still Mad 10 Sympatheric Character 08 That I Would Be Good 09 The Couch 10 Can't Not 10 UR 11 I Was Hoping 09 One 09 Would Not Come 09 Unsent 09 So Pure 11 Joining You 09 Heart of the House 08 Your Congratulations from the choirgirl hotel - Tori Amos 10 Spark 10 Cruel 10 Black Dove (January) 11 Raspberry Swirl 08 Jackie's Strength 11 i i e e e 10 Liquid Diamonds 09 She's Your Cocaine 08 Northern Lad 10 Hotel 11 Playboy Mommy 07 Pandora's Aquarium
Tagging @lolly for some ABBA. @jivafox for (maybe) some more Aimee... or Liz... or Bruce.. or Heather? @Dr Lecter for Erotica.. @Sheena for some more Madge I think... @Ellie for some MJ.. @dUb for MKS @Whatevar for Toni or Mariah or JoJo @KindaCool for Mariah @Indie for Mansun etc. etc.
I would like to do this, but you know how boring it is to read another Ray of Light rate with all 11s and 10s.
