I think either this or You're Dead is his best (still waiting for the dust to settle)
one could easily make the case that UTQC is his peak though (and I think potsy would)
Cosmogramma? amazing album... but I don't see a good reason for it being his best

He has no peak really (or they are all peaks???), all his albums after this one are masterpieces as a whole unit comprised of 3 brilliant concepts. they are all completely different explorations and i think each is a pivotal piece of a trilogy. they are like david lynch's lost highway/inland empire/muholland drive trilogy almost.



and then this one is kind of separate from those

the concept of each lends itself so well to the following release that it seems extra silly to compare these three than most any other artists releases.



this is my flylo 5 for ~reasons~ but I do think that Cosmo, UtQC and YD! are much more unique to FlyLo than this one is. With those 3 he had truly become one of a kind while Los Angeles isn't all that unique, its just way better than all the other albums like it.

agreed that this one kind of resides in its own plane, which is a good thing

while they are each unique in their own right, I do think that his trajectory or whatever makes a lot of sense
that doesn't make it any less impressive or anything
but I like the way I can listen to YD! and be like ah I wasn't expecting these specific sounds before because they're fairly different but they make a lot of sense in retrospect looking at it in context

agreed, although familiarizing yourself with his concepts for each makes his directions make complete sense.

also i think its brilliant that after writing a super personal album while his mom was dying and then releasing this deeply introspective post mommy dead album he comes back and basically just completely flips the perspective and writes this morbidly dark and satirical album about death, fucking brilliant if you ask me. YD! is basically just "FUCK it" in musical form.

I feel like that attitude of YD works better with his ethos than the more serious UTQC; though maybe I just let time tell, because I was obsessed with UTQC when it came out, too

it certainly reflects the Captain Murphy side of his ego more than cosmo and utqc
