BROCKHAMPTON'S ALBUMS RANKED
@channeltwotwotwo
Now we know love for the hardest working boyband in America is ample over here at Nefarious Supply, but now we want to test our listening capacity when it comes to one of our favorite groups in the rap game so far. BROCKHAMPTON has been a fan favorite for many since that explosive year of 2017. Since then the boyband has grown and lived their lives in many different ways, with these new experiences comes growth and
Here is our ranked list of the BROCKHAMPTON discography! Enjoy!
#7 - All-American Trash
All-American Trash saw the boys first coming up within the music industry under the name BROCKHAMPTON. Though most of the band members had been in the game prior to the group forming and also knew about each other much longer before that, the chemistry between each member and the connection to the music was simply just in the beginning stages, and these loose ties can be heard in every track on the album.
With softer beats and more intimate lyrics, the hidden treasure chest is full of gems. However, their luster pales in comparison to what the group achieves in their later years.
#6 - SATURATION II
Though SATURATION II has two of our favorite BROCKHAMPTON songs of all time in TOKYO and FIGHT, the album falls short of the other two in our opinion, only due to how incredibly raw and volatile the first and last albums were. SATURATION II takes a nice slow jog as opposed to SAT I’s explosively creative energy and SAT III’s entrance into the maturity of their ingenuity and sound.
SAT II will always have a place in our hearts though. Please listen to the greatest vibe check in the world above.
#5 - SATURATION I
Now SAT I was what started it all. As soon as the album starts you’re grabbed by ears by their sound and they don’t even let go till maybe about SKIT 1. HEAT, GOLD, and STAR set the tone for what isn’t just a body of work but an experience woven together to become the first incredibly anthemic piece to a trilogy. SATURATION I was BROCKHAMPTON at its most raw in its new sound. Hard-hitting, raw, emotional, groovy, head-bopping greatness. They’d just put iron to fire with this project but it was one that undoubtedly set the tone for the rest of their discography.
In honor of the OG SATURATION, we gotta put up one of the classics! Have a listen and don’t lie in the comments about the face you make when that beat comes in!
#4 - SATURATION III
SATURATION III was the culmination of hard work and effort the boys have put into their sound since All-American Trash, and these new heights are thoroughly showcased in tracks like BOOGIE, LIQUID, BLEACH, HOTTIE, SISTER/NATION, and RENTAL. Romil, Jabari, and Kiko, the central helm of BROCKHAMPTON’s production shine like the angels they are all over this project with their bodacious and outstanding landscapes they paint with their sounds for the vocalists to play around into their heart’s content.
This album also has the most cohesive writing of the SAT trilogy lyricism-wise! Check out our fan favorite above!
#3 - iridescence
iridescence is BROCKHAMPTON’s hard-left from their usual hard-lefts. This album came at a point in time where the boyband was dealing with a very tumultuous situation in Ameer Vann’s departure. This raw repositioning of the group in their career and life came through in the extreme experimentalism and emotional pull of iridescence. Tracks like J’OUVERT, DISTRICT, and VIVID make you throw your head back and forth in tandem with the infectious grimey beats, there are also tracks such as SAN MARCOS, TONYA, and FABRIC that remind you that this is a multifaceted machine of talent.
iridescene takes their already-established sound and punts it through the glass ceiling, making it our number three! Our favorite DISTRICT is floating around above, go ahead and bump it!
#2 - GINGER
GINGER takes the boyband and thrusts them to heights unknown by even the fans themselves.
With an extremely soul-baring yet grounded take on the events that took over their lives the past three or so years. On GINGER they’re coming more deliberate and more introspective, with tracks like NO HALO beautifully setting the tone of the entire album, searching within ones own mind and heart, battling with religion, making amends with yourself, and learning that in order to grow healthily there needs to be separation and healing from that in which impedes your growth.
Not to say that GINGER doesn’t know how to have fun from time to time, with bangers such as BOY BYE and ST. PERCY sprinkled in the mix. This album is the boyband at its most centered and deserves the number 2 spot off subject matter alone!
If you haven’t listened to LOVE ME FOR LIFE yet I honestly have no idea what’s going on in your world right now. And even if you have, listen above! Again!
#1 - ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE
ROADRUNNER… whew.
What a journey this album was, from the eclectic and JUNKY-esque anthem that was Kevin’s verse on BUZZCUT to the stone-cold Texas grime of WINDOWS, featuring the New York legend himself, A$AP Ferg, as well as Video Store’s SoGoneSoFlexy, to the whimsical and pop-infused summer hits in COUNT ON ME and I’LL TAKE YOU ON, and the absolutely devastating dual parts of THE LIGHT, this album saw them in a light like no other. JOBA absolutely shined on this project and brought a thought to my mind.
This album was an actual form of therapy for the member, from the light poppy tracks to the heavy and deeply emotional ones, this is a love letter to JOBA’s heart in the wake of his father’s passing, as well as an album worthy of every Grammy imaginable. The boys are at their cleanest production-wise and the most focused they’ve been topic-wise since GINGER.
Above is the absolute dance anthem of the year. Enjoy!
