The Mariah Carey Discography Rate - Album Averages

[latincoffee]

That's a surprising 11 points going to a remix! I too, love Honey and all it's remixes.

Languishing is a beautiful song, well deserved.

*singing* B to da R- A to da T!!! love how Mariah sings that part with layered vocals

Languishing is a beautiful song, well deserved.

[Wayne]

I don’t mind Forever, I just think it’s unfortunately surrounded by much superior ballads on a very strong album.

Languishing is utterly gorgeous, love it.

[bm08]

Forever is such a divisive track when it comes to whether people like it or not, and I dont get why. It's cute but it's definitely not up in the top tier of her songs.

[Leo]

My personal lines:

- I enjoy Forever and its retro sound. I think a lower part of the top100 is good enough for it anyway.

- Dance mixes don't get much love from my side... well, I do love Fly Away. But as I adore Honey, and this was part of the Butterfly album I bought, I am familiar to it and enjoy it a lot. Still, I am surprised this managed a top100 position!

- Languishing... although an interlude, I find this piece touching. Similar to Rainbow interlude. I really love this little piece she shared with us. And after the Memoirs, this song gained many points from my side.

[Leo]

Some additional data:

- We've lost the first song with an 11 rate! But that does not mean this is the lowest ranked song with an 11...
- 6 songs in the top100 already, and all from different eras!
- Although Honey Club and Languishing seem to have the same average, they do not... It's 7.70588 for the Butterfly track and 7.71052 for the Imperfect Angel one!

Here is a status of each ear so far, with #332-#291 & #100-#95

I love AIWFCIY but the remixes/other versions are just awful in comparison.

[InfoFromAus]

It's quite surprising that two versions of AIWFCIY is in the very low tier (#332 & #295).

Well, I think for some people the original is so special and considered a classic, that the alternate versions and remixes just pale in comparison. And some people might just be resentful that these other versions exist in the first place and might be very critical.

[bm08]

It's quite surprising that two versions of AIWFCIY is in the very low tier (#332 & #295).

[Rawiri James]

Music Box: And introduced me, as a non-english language native speaker, to the word thee. I think it's a great #100.

One Mo Gen: a song I enjoy but for some reason it does not stick in my head... If I see a name of a song of hers, I can imagine the song, but NEVER with OMG.... I just don't remember it!

The Art of...: it can be a little messy, and not single material at all, but I LOVE this one... the lyrics are clever. And the final part of the song is FIRE.

Cool reviews there, I'm with you on a lot of this. MB is sweet, not really my thing, but I can appreciate it. I found the use of 'thee' really odd for some reason. I guess I find it way too old school, lol.

OMG is hot but you've got a point, when I read your comment my brain filled me head with 8th Grade. But yeah I looove this when its on.

TAOLG I agree was not single material but I love how fresh and different it was for her in production and line delivery. It doesn't sound like any other song of hers. And you're right, the climax is insane!

Shout out to Irresistible here, too! I know most don't love it (or know it) but give me Hoodriah chillin' over a Cube beat with the man himself any day.

[Sebastian]

Why y'all did Sprung like that. It's a major bop.

[bm08]

Woah! I didnt expect “In The Mix” to be out this early. This song is quite infectious and one of best sing along song in ages. Quite a shame!

[Goldmoney]

All these remixes crashing out better not be a sign of things to come as it pertains to one of my 11s.

[Leo]

Emancipation loses 3 entries in this Bubbling Under set: added tracks Sprung & Secret Love (not really surprised here) and the Juelz Santana/BTNH remix of US #1 Don't Forget About Us. I like this version a lot, I love BTNH style and flow and adds to the song, but then it's a "add rappers tothe same song" style of remix so I can understand it's low rank...

Charlie Brown Christmas becomes the first casualty for MCIIY. I personally don't enjoy that too much.

Some album tracks we lose: Irresistible (I loved this song when the album dropped, but then I feel it's a little too long and monotonous so it lost priviledges in my playlists, but still I relive my connection everytime it shows up in my shuffle); Supernatural (just an ok album song, little forgettable) and Angel Prelude (just a prelude, it's too high here i think)

Surprised that ANOTHER AIWFCIY falls so soon! I don't like this remix too much anyway, so I don't mind seeing it fall, but it¿s an AIWFCIY version!

In The mix is just a cute small song that passed without much noise.

ISB REmix is hot but again, the anti-urbanriah team won again lol

All I Want For Christmas Is You (ft. Jermaine Dupri & Bow Wow) [So So Def Remix]

Music Box: Such a beautiful song to me! Not one I listen to often but I love how dreamy and smooth it is

One Mo Gen: One of her sexiest songs, and a bop. Not my favorite but it’s still a jam. Almost like the 2018 version of Babydoll

TAOLG: Never listen to this anymore... it’s just there. Not a bad song but yeah...

[Leo]

Music Box: I like the smooth production, a highlight of the album imo.It's a sweet small smooth relaxing beautiful love song. It was a fav of the album for me during my in-love-with-music-box days, with such delicate lyrics, simpe but effective. And introduced me, as a non-english language native speaker, to the word thee. I think it's a great #100.
My rate: 9

One Mo Gen: a song I enjoy but for some reason it does not stick in my head... If I see a name of a song of hers, I can imagine the song, but NEVER with OMG.... I just don't remember it! When I listen to it, I like it and its cool and the lyrics are hot, but well, it is what it is.
My rate: 7

The Art of...: it can be a little messy, and not single material at all, but I LOVE this one... the lyrics are clever. And after reading the Memoirs, I found new love and appreciation. I just don't get why on earth she released this as a buzz single or why she changed the title of the album, as TAOLG is miles better than MIAMTEC. Although now that DEmi released The Art of something it's better to have something else. The "Go to Mimi on your contacts... press delete" is great. It used to be cool to me, now it's heartbreaking. And the final part of the song is FIRE.
My rate; 10

[Sebastian]

Nice to see who gave the higher and lower rates! Makes it more fun tbh.

[bm08]

One Mo’ Gen and Karen Box - cute but forgettable.

Forgettable? I------ PLEASE!

One Mo Gen is one of her sexist, most grown songs to date

[WaitYourTurn]

I guess the ones who haven't heard it, haven't given it a grade? So it wouldn't matter how many people know a song.

good point

[Goldmoney]

Amazing graphics btw.

[Goldmoney]

The Art of Letting Go - a snoozer tbh. This is easily the best thing about it:


One Mo’ Gen and Karen Box - cute but forgettable.
