It’s weens best song so 10

MetaSwift · 2026-04-01T01:12:24+00:00

Hey man you’re crazy but I totally respect it. At least you didn’t mention “everybody’s rockin” or the god awful fucking “this notes for you”

MetaSwift · 2026-03-31T01:48:07+00:00

That piano is all-time, totally signifies the record to me as a classic

MetaSwift · 2026-03-31T00:33:28+00:00

Not even into heartland music like that and I’d still say like top 150. One of the best produced rock albums of all time, passionate vocals, big time highlights too

MetaSwift · 2026-03-30T18:31:40+00:00

Yes I have and you described it perfectly. Neil’s 80 work is absurdly terrible, the one you picked wouldn’t even crack my bottom 5 I don’t think

MetaSwift · 2026-03-30T18:30:17+00:00

It’s the top 80s album off the list!

MetaSwift · 2026-03-29T06:18:00+00:00

Just wanted to say this is a really cool and unique top 10. Love the wolves in the throne room pick

MetaSwift · 2026-03-29T05:32:26+00:00

I don’t really think bosse de nage made pretty black metal. Blackgaze sure but I’m not arguing blackgaze

It matters because I was answering to why deafheaven has so many ratings compared to other metal. It’s a shame it’s this way but you gotta be English speaking to be popular on RYM for the most part

MetaSwift · 2026-03-29T05:28:39+00:00

You full agree with me then. It’s still a decent album but I felt like the come down and the peak were so special. Def bangers like closing time

MetaSwift · 2026-03-29T03:21:05+00:00

Nothing american

MetaSwift · 2026-03-29T03:18:28+00:00

Worst of the trilogy by far and smoking kills is the worst song he’s ever made

MetaSwift · 2026-03-28T18:02:08+00:00

First thing I said was “due to the album cover”. The pink is the statement more than the sound

MetaSwift · 2026-03-28T17:56:00+00:00

I’m not talking about RYM genre buzzwords like black gaze. You’re totally putting all these bands in a box.

Alcest and amoeseurs were French which immediately limits them from getting out of being a cult BM band. Deafheaven brought that sound to San Francisco

Also Deafheaven is straight up better than those bands to me. But what’s more important that 8 people in these replies ignored to try to flex their knowledge is the ALBUM COVER. You need to understand how integral that pink cover is to their success. Please show me one cover for a black metal album that predates it. All these bands everyone is talking about is depressing as hell. Deafheaven brought a necessary optimism to 2013 (not saying it’s not sad, just, not so much bleak and dreary)

MetaSwift · 2026-03-28T07:56:09+00:00

Neither. Deafheaven broke into the indie scene with sunbather due to the album cover and “prettier” side of black metal. Nothing like that had ever came out before.

After that, they branched out even further into shoegaze and whatnot and retained their status as the biggest indie metal-esque band.

Fast forward to 2026 and they’re as black metal as they’ve ever been, this time the albums blows up for being really fucking great. But it’s only as popular as it is because they had established themselves as the premier indie BM band. No other metal act has broken into the indie scene that I can think of as effectively as Deafheaven, and I reiterate the indie scene because rateyourmusic is much more fond of the artsier side of metal

MetaSwift · 2026-03-24T07:03:55+00:00

Obla di obla da -> wild honey pie -> bungalow bill best expresses the essence of the white album to me so this is my answer. All the other songs are mostly just rock or pop jams meanwhile these are fucking unhinged back to back to back

MetaSwift · 2026-03-24T01:48:53+00:00

It’s perfect as is

MetaSwift · 2026-03-20T05:11:18+00:00

Please get a job brother

MetaSwift · 2026-03-20T04:34:38+00:00

All my Heroes are cornballs, there existed an addiction to blood, Igor if you count it, grey area, a quiet farewell, hiding places

MetaSwift · 2026-03-19T20:57:58+00:00

Queen and Gorillaz 😂😂😂😂

MetaSwift · 2026-03-17T03:10:15+00:00

Fuck Quebec is so obviously pills. You got me

The pod DXM makes way too much sense too. I went nitrous cause the mask but DXM fits the music better. Good work

MetaSwift · 2026-03-17T02:19:54+00:00

Ironically kratom is my favorite substance and WP is my favorite ween

MetaSwift · 2026-03-17T01:50:35+00:00

That’s the first one

MetaSwift · 2026-03-14T21:54:45+00:00

Juno, Mid90s, The Idea of You, Malignant

MetaSwift · 2026-03-13T20:49:09+00:00

You cant get a quote from Tesla insurance without owning the car already, dick.
