Gonna rank my trifecta of current artists!

Father John Misty (Will update once Chloe drops!)
1. I Love You Honeybear
2. Pure Comedy
3. Fear Fun
4. God's Favorite Customer (Has some of the highest highs of his career but also several of his blandest songs)

Lana Del Rey
1. Norman Fucking Rockwell
2. Ultraviolence
3. Born to Die
4. Honeymoon
5. Blue Bannisters
6. Lust for Life
7. Chemtrails Over the Country Club (Only album by her I out right hate)

St Vincent
1. MASSeduction
2. Strange Mercy
3. Daddy's Home
4. St. Vincent
5. Marry Me
6. Actor (I Know this is a hot take lol)
Father John Misty

1. Pure Comedy (guess I'm nearly alone in this, but I love this album. I think it's fantastic. I listen to it more than all the others)
2. I Love You Honeybear
3. Fear Fun
4. God's Favorite Customer (I think this is terrible...mostly cause it's so boring and uninspired in every way)

Lana Del Rey

1. Norman Fucking Rockwell
2. Born To Die
3. Honeymoon
4. Chemtrails Over the Country Club (I totally gel with this laid back feeling of this one a lot)
5. Blue Banisters
6. Ultraviolence
7. Lust For Life (still like it, but it's not a very great album as a whole)


St. Vincent

1. Strange Mercy (easily the best thing she's done and one of my favorite albums ever)
2. Actor
3. Masseducation (god this one has grown on me over time)
4. Daddy's Home
5. Marry Me
6. St. Vincent (yeah still the worst thing she's done to me. I just don't get the love for it, it feels so cold and boring, however there are some great songs on it honestly...and it has grown on me, but I will never love it as much as anything above it here)
 
I think I might actually bump up IAETF to #4 now. I find myself reaching for that one more than I do High Violet.
I also have weirdly found myself listening to IAETF more than I thought I would. I genuinely really love it now and think it might be one of the best things they've done.

That said, I think this is still my ranking...

1. Trouble Will Find Me
2. Boxer
3. Alligator
4. Sleep Well Beast
5. I Am Easy To Find (I say one of their best, but here it sits - just a mark on how consistently great I find them)
6. High Violet
7. Sad Songs
8. The National
The Hold Steady

1. Separation Sunday
2. Boys & Girls In America
3. …Almost Killed Me
4. Stay Positive
5. Open Door Policy
6. Heaven Is Whenever
7. Thrashing Thru The Passion
8. With Teeth
The Hold Steady

1. Separation Sunday
2. Boys and Girls In America
3. Stay Positive
4. Almost Killed Me
5. Heaven Is Whenever
6. Open Door Policy
7. Thrashing Thru The Passion
8. Teeth Dreams

I’m afraid I agree…

I’m not familiar with all their albums but I recently picked up It Still Moves and Evil Urges on a whim. I was surprised how well Evil Urges holds up; it’s way better than I remember, and has the most character out of all MMJ albums I’ve heard.
 
Beach House

1. Bloom
2. Teen Dream
3. Depression Cherry
4. Once Twice Melody
5. 7
6. Thank Your Lucky Stars
7. Devotion
8. Beach House
I went through a discography listen today and yeah this is almost my ranking. OTM could take over Teen Dream with some time but the top 3 are ridiculously good. I also included the B-Sides comp since I do think it has some worth compared to the other albums.

  1. Bloom
  2. Depression Cherry
  3. Teen Dream
  4. Once Twice Melody
  5. 7
  6. Thank Your Lucky Stars
  7. B-Sides and Rarities
  8. Devotion
  9. Beach House

I do think Once Twice Melody could wind up in my top 3 as well, but yeah those three albums are just perfect. It took a bit for Depression Cherry to grow on me, but I actually listen to it a lot now. It's not what I expected after Bloom, but it's a great, great album.
 
FINALLY gave OTM a listen in full and yep, they've done it again. There about 8 songs that are good to great, 4 that I could probably cut(ESP🥱), and 6 that are among their best shit they've ever done(Sunset, Masquerade, etc), so pretty good ratio. It's not QUITE the direction I wanted them to go in after 7 (praying that one day they decide to crank the distortion), but it's what they've done best done very well. Bout 8.5/10 on first listen.

1. Bloom
2. 7

The new album is a Beach House album; it’s not bad but it’s not essential either.
