Every song ranked from Danny Brown's sixth album Stardust

Danny Brown's sixth studio album, Stardust, features 14 tracks. Below we have ranked every song from Stardust from best to worst.

1. All4U (ft. Jane Remover)

All4U sits as the closer track and feels like the emotional payoff of gratitude and reflection. The music has swirling synths and futuristic R&B counterpoint from Jane Remover. The track was the immediate front-runner when the album was first announced.

2. Starbust

Starburst is situated at #2 on the album tracklist. The music is frenetic and shape-shifting, and Brown taps into hyperpop/electronic and rap in the lyrics. The song is designed as an attention grabber with a slightly uncanny pop monologue near the end.

3. Copycats (ft. Underscores)

Copycats has a very high replay value, with a hook and energetic beat that is praised in fan threads and comments. The music is jittery, bouncy percussion with a chanty hook that's engineered to stick.

4. 1999 (ft. JOHNnascu)

The Guardian describes the track as a "painfully, trebly, glitching chiptune at a gabber-like pace." The retro references in the track make it sound nostalgic. Music and production are abrasive and kinetic in the best way.

5. The End (ft. Ta Ukrainka, Cynthoni & Zheani)

The End sits at #13 on the album tracklist. The track is placed just before the closer track, giving it weight. The music comes with softer vocal textures and harsher interruptions. Danny Brown's lyrics are reflective and talk about survival.

6. What You See (ft. Quadeca)

Placed at #8 on the tracklist, it is the opener of the second half. The mood that this song presents is introspective and slightly apologetic, adding emotional weight.

7. Lift You Up

Fans liked this particular track for it's positivity. The lyrics are uplifting, motivational, and the production is less extreme compared to other songs on this list.

8. Green Light (ft. Frost Children)

The track is enjoyed mainly by fans who liked the album's more experimental collaborators. This song has unpredictable transitions that reward repeat listeners.

9. Flowers (ft. 8485)

The track has softer gestures and is gentler and less confrontational as compared to the rest of the album. While it's pleasant, it doesn't demand attention.

10. Baby (ft. Underscores)

This song has received less hype from the fans. While it's melodic and somewhat vulnerable, it gets overshadowed by bigger, heavier tracks.

11. Whatever the Case (ft. IssBrokie)

The lyrics are more experimental and less hook-centric. It sits more comfortably as an album track than a single.

12. RIGHT FROM WRONG (ft. Nnamdi_)

This song seems to get fewer mentions by fans. Although it is a good album filler, it is not very attention grabbing.

13. 1L0v3myl1f3! (ft. Femtanyl)

The track suggests a celebration of life. The sentiment is admirable but musically less compelling than other tracks on the album.

14. Book of Daniel (ft. Quadeca)

The opener of the album. As an intro, it doesn't have considerable music weight and serves more as a setup than as a track.
