Rules
3.2–BEST TRACKS: Mis, Rules, Master
never spent as much time with this one since this is probably the only alex g release where nothing really sticks out to me here. it's all pleasant and listenable, but every other alex release has at least a few songs that i really love. | | 6 |  | Alex G
Beach Music
3.5–BEST TRACKS: Kicker, Bug, Brite Boy
this one also suffers from some consistency issues for me, but like all other alex albums, there are some terrific tunes, particularly "kicker." for some reason this just never hit me like the others overall though. | | 5 |  | Alex G
Rocket
3.6–BEST TRACKS: Powerful Man, Proud, Poison Root
i appreciate what he was going for on this one since it was definitely time to switch up his sound, but it doesn't all mesh together on Rocket. this is probably his most inconsistent album overall, in terms of both sound and quality, so i hardly ever listen to this one front to back. there are some real gems on here, though, like "poison root," "proud," "bobby," and "powerful man." | | 4 |  | Alex G
Trick
4.0–BEST TRACKS: Forever, Mary, Memory
i almost put Trick as high as second on this list but it just didn't feel right. indeed it does have some of alex's best songs like "forever" and "mary," i can't help but feel like DSU is just a better version of this one. they have a similar aesthetic, but Trick is a little more playful–which sometimes doesn't really work. i'm not too crazy about the goofier songs like "kute" and "whale" since they kinda lost their charm after the first few listens. | | 3 |  | Alex G
RACE
4.1–BEST TRACKS: Gnaw, Crab, The Same
alex's debut work is charmingly amateurish from the production to his boyish vocals. but the childish charm is part of what made most of his early work so compelling, so it's not a knock at all–in fact, it makes RACE one of his best works overall. "gnaw" is certainly in his top 5 best songs. | | 2 |  | Alex G
DSU
4.2–BEST TRACKS: Serpent is Lord, Icehead, After Ur Gone
this was tough, but DSU takes the second spot of the list. alex continues his penchant for cute, lo-fi ditties with a lot of emotion. whether he's singing about his dog, black hair, or love, DSU's songs are catchy and succinct earworms that probably form his most cohesive album front-to-back. this one has a bit of a heavier sound on tracks like "serpent is lord" and it works amazingly well. | | 1 |  | Alex G
House of Sugar
4.4–BEST TRACKS: Gretel, Hope, Cow
try as i might, i couldnt in good conscience put anything but house of sugar in the number one slot. continuing the trend from "rocket," house of sugar is bolder than much of his early music, but he doesn't lose any of his charm. "house of sugar" is simultaneously comforting and strange, with some of alex's best songs yet "gretel" is the perfect indie track and maybe my favorite rock song of the entire decade. | |

10.22.21 | ya fam | loveisamixtape
10.22.21 | v nice. 6 needs more Snot
for me it'd be 1 > 5 = 2 > 4 > 6 > 3 > 7 | Ryus
10.22.21 | snot is cool yes | LeddSledd
10.22.21 | does this guy really know how to play his instruments | Ryus
10.22.21 | lol

10.22.21 | i am seeing him live on the 6th can’t wait for him to play his little instruments | Ryus
10.22.21 | sweeet im seeing him on halloween with my gf, so hyped which is why i made this list haha. where u seein him? | loveisamixtape
10.22.21 | oh hell yeah! he's playing the best venue in bham, Saturn, and yeah seeing him there. last time i saw him was when he was about to drop beach music and was opening for built to spill, which was sick. i like him way more now and he's also way better now so i am v excited | Ryus
10.22.21 | niice ive never seen him before so im super excited. cant wait to hear house of sugar stuff live | Snake.
10.23.21 | 25641 haven't heard race or rules i'm slacking
i'm seeing him in dec i'm pumped | Djang0
10.23.21 | 1 is 1
I am satisfied | Gyromania
10.23.21 | 5 is 1 | Gyromania
10.23.21 | "but it doesn't all mesh together on Rocket"
This sums up his entire catalog tbh, including house of sugar, which is my second favourite. Honestly feel that DSU is overrated af | fogza
10.23.21 | I dig Alex g but I keep listening to this monster playlist download of his stuff so I never know what song is from what album. It's a dilemma | loveisamixtape
10.23.21 | his most underrated raw song is soaker from DSU
dsu is also best old Alex g sound tbh every song | Gyromania
10.23.21 | I've heard DSU 3 times and it just passes me by. Can't think of a single song that would upset a top 10 Alex G playlist | Gyromania
10.23.21 | Guilty man, rocket, and judge are forever underrated | loveisamixtape
10.23.21 | what most of us at least can agree on is that 1 is 1 | loveisamixtape
10.23.21 | also def agree about judge. a top song of his | dedex
10.23.21 | gotta agree wiff da top 2
i should relisten to House of Sugar, been ages | Jasdevi087
10.24.21 | what's the best one to start with? | Ryus
10.24.21 | hmm if you want something a little lo-fi that was released earlier in his career then check trick or DSU. if you want to go straight to the best without caring about his evolution then just get 1 | Jasdevi087
10.24.21 | gotta go straight to the source | GmemberKills
10.24.21 | I'd go 4>2>3>5>1>6>7
I started listening to alex g right before DSU dropped so i'm a little biased toward his older material, but I can't argue with anyone having 1-5 as their fav.
The last track on rules 'message' is probably my favorite closer by him, also 'easy' ep has a couple of my fav tracks by him
| Ryus
10.26.21 | must confess ive never heard any of his EPs :/ | loveisamixtape
11.07.21 | just saw him.,. confirmed amazing, they played like 17/20 songs i wanted them to, go see them if they play near u | Ryus
11.07.21 | yep he was amazing. idk if he did this at your show but he played a bunch of coldplay songs for the encore it was awesome lmao | loveisamixtape
11.07.21 | i actually heard about that but he didn’t do that here hahah. the funniest thing he did was play the song Fast Car about halfway through before immediately transitioning into Brick. I was like hell YEAH |
