Regarding My Rankings
4 weeks ago
In late 2021, I started a spin-off series to my album review series titled Every Album Ranked. What I do is rank every album from a certain artist from weakest to best. One of the most recent episodes was when I ranked all the albums by Sleep Token. I placed Take Me Back to Eden as the weakest while Even in Arcadia is the second weakest. The reason why I placed those as the weakest Sleep Token albums is because I feel like incorporating elements of R&B and pop hold them back. Don’t get me wrong. They’re good albums, but I can’t help but find them inferior to the band’s previous work. The video has more dislikes than likes, but I don’t give a shit what other people think. My opinions don’t reflect anyone else’s opinion, and I’m not turning off the ratings or comments. In 2022, I uploaded a video where I ranked all the albums by Rage Against the Machine from weakest to best. Someone commented giving me shit all because I put Evil Empire so low. Evil Empire is a good album, but it’s not as good as most of the band’s other work. This is mainly because it doesn’t hit the same way nor is it as heavy as the band’s debut album. Someone on Twitter claimed that Evil Empire is debatably better than the band’s debut album, but I strongly disagree for the reasons I said in the previous sentence. I’m sticking to my guns, and nothing will change my opinion. However, no one gave me shit regarding my rankings for the albums by Deftones, Rise Against, Bush, Suicide Silence, or most of the other episodes.
