Ranking Chelsea Wolfe's Discography (Worst to Best)

Similar / relevant lists: Gaian Doom Boxset               Chelsea Wolfe Interview Compilation                 Radiohead Song Ranking Björk Ranking                          The Joy Formidable Ranking Chelsea Wolfe is a strong contender for my favorite artist of all time. Her and the eponymous band's style is versatile, and, contrary to the views of some detractors, not chameleonic; all of her work is very dark and often gothic, but there are many different facets and angles of her own unique darkness that she comes at in her work. Genres she has explored include ethereal wave, dark folk, doom metal, and gothic rock. In this ranking, I will list my favorite studio albums in reverse order. Underneath, I will rank my 50 favorite songs of hers. 8. Mistake in Parting  ||  Alternative Rock  ||  2006  ||  5.5/10 7. Birth ...

Nimzo Box Set - Trip Hop

Trip hop is bliss. A genre that came to prevalence during the early-to-mid 1990s in Bristol, UK, trip hop typically features smooth, dark production, laid back downtempo beats, either instrumental or with classy vocals (usually female), sung, not rapped (though there are very notable exceptions). It often includes a distinct psychedelic element as well, hence the name. Trip hop is often considered to be synonymous with downtempo electronic, but there are a few differences; that said, I've included downtempo albums here that are close enough to trip hop. Over the years, trip hop has become one of my very favorite genres of music; in fact, I would say it's as near to musical "comfort food" as I come. In this box set, I list some of the trip hop albums that I consider the best. These are in alphabetical order by artist. This box set is mostly for my own reference, but I'm glad to share it with anyone who might be interested. You can listen to my "Trip Hop Essent...

Ranking Björk's Discography (Worst to Best)

Icelandic singer Björk is one of the most unique and interesting vocalists and songwriters of all time. Mixing artsy pop with experimental tendencies, she has been a driving force in the world of innovation in electronic music production while simultaneously creating catchy and meaningful tracks and albums.  With the recent release of her 11th studio album (I do consider her 2000 album Selmasongs  as an official studio album), I decided to do a ranking of her work.  11. Volta  ||  2007  ||  Art Pop, Glitch Pop  ||  6.5/10 10. Utopia  ||  2017  ||  Art Pop, Ambient Pop, Glitch Pop  ||  7.5/10 9. Biophilia  ||  2011  ||  Art Pop, Progressive Electronic  ||  8/10 8. Medúlla  ||  2004  ||  A Capella, Experimental  ||  8/10 7. Vulnicura  ||  2015  ||  Art Pop, Electronic, Glitch Pop  ||  8/10 6.
