MY MARIAH DISCOGRAPHY REVIEW/RANKING: A THREAD Inspired By @STARSATNlGHT
13. Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse (2014)
This is easily my least fave Mariah album. The production is kinda messy and there is too much autotune, and some of the songs are really weak in Mariah& #39;s standard. It almost feels like she tried too much. 1/2

But the album still isn& #39;t that "bad", it& #39;s on the weaker side of her albums. It has some of Mariah& #39;s best songs, like The Art of Letting Go.

"Einstein" is Mariah& #39;s most laid-back album. It has several bops and the album is perfect to play at parties. However it lacks depth in most lyrics and the production is weird in some songs. It also contains some of the worst Mariah songs, like O.O.C. 1/2

Even though the movie flopped, this soundtrack is much better. I Love how it pays homage to 80& #39;s music style still delivering them vocals. Despite the era being really messy, she still managed to make an album this decent. The production in some Songs is messy. 1/2

10. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel
IMO this is her most cohesive body of work and every song feels meaningful in it& #39;s own way. The interludes etc. make the album flowing. However, some of the songs sound cheap and there is too much autotune in some of the songs.

Overall, the album aged well and it& #39;s perfect to listen if you want to relax on a rainy day and read a book.

9. Rainbow
Despite being made in such a short time, Mariah still managed to put up a good album with amazing vocals. The album contains many R&B/Hip-Hop songs rather than pop, which I like. The worst thing about the album is that it has quite many skips for a Mariah album. 1/2

Rainbow has the biggest range between good songs and bad songs. It has Crybaby and CTTA and then, well, Did I Do That?

8. Emotions
It hurts me to put this so low, the only reason is because it& #39;s kinda heavy to listen compared to the albums above. This is by far most vocally demanding album and we love to see it. I love the feeling of this album, it has bops and beautiful & strong ballads. 1/2

Emotions is also experimental and I love how it contains different music genres, like Jazz and Gospel/Soul. If you dislike this album, you& #39;re just not an intellectual.

This album gets way too much hate from Lambs. It has beautiful ballads, upbeat bops, and the vocals are on point. The album is very dreamy and is like a love story. The only reason it& #39;s not higher is because the lyrics are lil cheesy and bland in some parts. 1/2

This album is one of her more personal albums and it& #39;s so underrated it hurts. The feeling of being in a better place after some emotionally hard years really transmits through the vibe of the album. The whispery theme of the songs can get annoying sometimes.1/2

Ah, the comeback album. This album is just so gorgeous and confident and she really showed the World that she is a legend and she is going to stay. Despite a few weaker club bops, this album is full of gorgeous and strong songs. A true Diva. 1/2

I know I might get hate for putting this so high, but idc honestly it& #39;s a perfect debut album. It& #39;s full of beautiful ballads and bops. The lyrics in many songs are amazing. The only downside is that she didn& #39;t have much creative control over the album. 1/2

She wrote many of the lyrics at such a young age, so it really shows already how good she is at songwriting. Overall a really strong debut.

3. Caution
After many difficult years, she really snapped with this one. It sounds fresh without trying too much and without forgetting Mariah& #39;s artistic style. It& #39;s critically acclaimed for a reason and there& #39;s not a bad song in the album either. 1/2

2. Butterfly
This is her magnum opus and for a good reason. After breaking free from an abusive relationship she got full creative control over her new album. Butterfly is full different of emotions, from love to feeling like an outsider. The lyrics are unparalled. 1/2

This album is so perfect it& #39;s literally a daydream. The album is so timeless it will sound good in 2080. I love the urban music vibe, and that it sounds more R&B than her previous albums. Listening to Daydream always puts me in a good mood and inspires me. 1/2
