How would you rank the albums?

I have a few friends who are big fans of the band and we all have different rankings. I prefer the more synth heavy/industrial recent style but I just can't see past Mesmer. It'd probably part nostalgia but my ranking is:

Mesmer > Obsidian > Alien > Singularity > Discoveries > Node

Node > Alien > Obsidian > Mesmer > (Mirror’s Edge >) Discoveries > Singularity

Node and Alien both 10/10 albums, hard to rank the two

I swear if Mesmer just had a better mix it would be in contention for the best album they’ve ever released. I think the sound of it just implicitly makes the songs not click with people. Would kill for a rerelease of it with the Alien/Obsidian mixing.

Obsidian > Mesmer > Singularity > Mirror’s Edge > Alien > Node > Discoveries

I think this would be my exact order as well.

None of them are under a 7/10 for me though!

Node, Alien, Mesmer, Mirrors edge, Obsidian, Hologram/Welcome tomatoes, Get Free from Triple J, pretty much EVERYTHING and then singularity, and honestly discoveries isn’t even on the list. Just keep it. The dispossesion mashup is sick though

I agree on Node as the best! But Singularity is soooooooo friggin good.

I'm late to this party but wanted to give my ranking since I don't see anyone else with the same opinion:

1) Node
very close 2nd) Singularity
very close 3rd) Mesmer
4) Alien
5) Discoveries
6) Obsidian

In all honesty, I think the last 3 can be interchanged depending on mood. But the top 3 I think are easily the best. I don't understand how many people rank Node low on the list, it has so many bangers and such a unique sound / vibe throughout the whole album. " I WILL NOT DIE HERE!" and "WAAAANNDERRRERR!!"
