| M83, ranked.
Not including soundtracks. Truncate slogging ambient passages and every album goes up .1. But then it wouldn't be M83, baby. | | 7 |  | M83
Junk
yeah it is, bub!
2.1/5 | | 6 |  | M83
M83
scattered cacophony. bad art reminds me of expensive bootcut jeans from the early 2000s, a la Lucky Brand or True Religion.
2.3/5 | | 5 |  | M83
Digital Shades Vol. 1
ugh ambient.
2.7/5 | | 4 |  | M83
Saturdays=Youth
I hate these 2008 trendy teens and the hackneyed title. Killer tracks though.
3.7/5 | | 3 |  | M83
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
the double album is always unnecessary. even more so than the dicknosed bug mask.
3.9/5 | | 2 |  | M83
Before The Dawn Heals Us
the most m83-y of m83's releases; the title, the art, the sound, the excellent songs scourged with names like "Teen Angst," "Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun."
4.0/5 | | 1 |  | M83
Dead Cities, Red Seas and Lost Ghosts
and the only cool album art/album title they have. For their coolest album.
4.3/5 | |

04.11.16 | idea was spurred by a conversation about how bad Junk's cover is, and the consistent grossness of M83 album art (with one exception). Hence, all the shots at the art. | LotusFlower
04.11.16 | people dont really talk about how awful of a job M83 did with the song titles on their self titled, how the hell could you mess up a "titles tell a story" concept so badly? | braspberries
04.11.16 | yeah closing with 18 minutes of UFO noises, "I'm Happy, She Said," could leave things ambiguous. Fortunately, it's preceded by "My Face," a crucial minute of totally different UFO noises. And all the diegetic pieces fall into place. | braspberries
04.11.16 | In reality, it's probably just about the ephemeral nature of youth and aching romance and nighttime in the metropolis and celestial bodies like every M83 album. | Yotimi
04.12.16 | Yeah 1 is easily best | Gyromania
04.12.16 | lol yeah you made this just to shit on junk, which is actually pretty great. | jtswope
04.12.16 | I don't agree with all the ratings, but this is probably the same way I'd rank 'em. | jtswope
04.12.16 | 1 is good. 2-4 are okay. 5 is mediocre. 6 and 7 suck. | braspberries
04.17.16 | yeah I recognize that I'm giving 1-4 each a boost. Tried shabbily to reconcile a detached rating with rating in the context of M83's discog. hard to divorce yourself from your bias. even with how overwrought some songs are, or how they've aged poorly, certain ones still hit. |
