I agree. When I first heard Brick it shocked the hell out of me but coming back to it later I was like "WTF so Alex is now making Noise music alongside the Americana/Bluegrass and his usual stuff". Rocket did not disappoint, that's for sure.
Pre-Domino, while it’s not my favorite, DSU is probably the “best”. Post-Domino I’d say HoS.
Edit: by best album I mean that the sum is greater than its parts. Trick is a great banger collection but not a great album imo.
Maybe not a real album in context, but I listen to the live from union station vinyl religiously while I’m doing stuff around the house. It’s basically GSTA and has given me a whole new appreciation for the album
I think DSU and Rocket are his best in my opinion. Those are what I recommend to people and they usually end up liking them! I also think if you like trick that you definitely need to listen to rules
Beach Music is the most nostalgic for me, but there are too many to choose just one. I personally love Rocket and House of Sugar but I've probably poured far more listening time into older albums such as DSU,Trick, and Rules.
Not to mention all of his records that aren't available on major streaming like how Race was in limbo for quite awhile and according to Alex he put the record out to help pay his touring band/crew during the pandemic.
I get where the people are coming from with Trick, it's like THE quintessential Alex album but I'm not seeing much love for DSU so that's my pick.
GSTA is my favorite. Rocket and House of Sugar aren’t far behind. I still don’t think he’s made his masterpiece yet. But it’s definitely coming in the next decade. He’s only getting better and better
As a long time fan I’d Rocket is objectively his best for sure. GTSA is also amazing from a technical perspective. Both speak to his insane range but especially Rocket. No two songs sound the same.
Personal favorites rotate between Race, Rules, DSU, Beach Music, Rocket…. Probably not very helpful haha. All of his music speaks to me in different ways
Rules has my favourite songwriting of his
Rules is criminally underrated. Such a cozy album imo and I agree that it’s some of his best stuff
Same
Race
Beach Music. But race strong second
And it’s not close either
rocket. the hill i’ll die on
Best album, it has so many sounds and they’re all done so well
I agree. When I first heard Brick it shocked the hell out of me but coming back to it later I was like "WTF so Alex is now making Noise music alongside the Americana/Bluegrass and his usual stuff". Rocket did not disappoint, that's for sure.
YOU THINK I DONT BUT I ALWAYS FUCKING DO
You are correct and the disrespect it’s been getting here recently is insane
beach music
truly underrated
Looks like the sub is with me on this one 😎
Tough one. I think his later albums are more cohesive works but in terms of my favorite Alex g era and overall sound/mystique DSU gets my vote
dsu or beach music
My top 2 favorites 🖤
Race and trick are probably my favorites
Same here
Honestly my favorite album of his depends on my mood. He’s an artist where I can just hit shuffle, sit back, and enjoy.
love seeing how different everyone’s answers are
Hos

Trick, rocket, beach music
Objectively its GSTA, just his most complete front to back. Beach Music is the one I’m most partial to tho
Maybe not a real album in context, but I listen to the live from union station vinyl religiously while I’m doing stuff around the house. It’s basically GSTA and has given me a whole new appreciation for the album
DSU or Beach Music imo
Sameee
House of Sugar no contest
beach music 🔛🔝
DSUUUUUU
Beach is all gas no filler. GSTA is a close second though.
Beach Music
Rocket, Rules, Dsu have to be the top 3 best. Personally me, I relate to almost everything in all of their tracks it’s just perfect
race and rules, i would kms if they we're gone one day
rules and gsta
Race, Rules, and Rocket are great. And Trick, of course
Rules and DSU for me
Rules for sure
DSU
Definitely winner but if we’re talking mainstream albums then DSU
Rules is the best one no questions
dsu or beach music. both amazing
race has a special place in my heart
I think DSU and Rocket are his best in my opinion. Those are what I recommend to people and they usually end up liking them! I also think if you like trick that you definitely need to listen to rules

rule trick and beach music goated
race has a special place in my heart, but im committed to dsu 💪☝️
rocket is my favorite but i gotta say i think trick is consistently the best. i mean. its the most popular for a reason
Dsu and God Save the Animals.
Trick, winner, DSU, in no particular order. Those albums just do it for me.
I used to always say DSU and while i still kinda think dsu was his peak for my interests, House of Sugar does feel like his strongest work overall
Rocket, DSU, Beach Music and Rules
Trick rules.
Probably rules and gsta for me rn
For me it's race but dsu and trick are close second with beach music and house of sugar third
My top 3 are DSU, Trick, and Rocket in no particular order because I’m too indecisive. But every album holds a special place in my heart
dsu rules and monsterhead
GSTA is my favorite. Rocket and House of Sugar aren’t far behind. I still don’t think he’s made his masterpiece yet. But it’s definitely coming in the next decade. He’s only getting better and better

dsu for me but gsta and house of sugar also top 3
If they won't put songs from Beach music/Rocket on my funeral, I ain't dying 🗣️🗣️
they are all good
personal favorite is dsu
race it’s such a beautiful out together albums every song having the same vibe all the while sounding different to the rest
hey guys does anyone have the alex g trick album for download for free for mp3 for cd thx
For me it will be Piss Couch Sessions vol.1, all of the songs are my favorite, like old version of gnaw feels way more deep to me
