So this is my first time ever sitting down and fully making a tier list for No Phun Intended. I've always known generally which songs are my favorite, but the lower end I've really had no idea how things would shake out.
For those who don't know, No Phun Intended is an album made by a 17 year-old Tyler Joseph. The fact that he wrote this in high school is incredible. Every lyric is compact with meaning and every song is performed with so much emotion. This album makes me feel more things than any other music, each song is just so raw and powerful.
The production quality is obviously low, and, as shown in my rankings, it's not like I love every song. But that doesn't mean I don't love every song, if that makes sense. That sentiment is true more for this album than any other, I think.
Especially with an album as emotional as this, people will connect to different songs. Anybody could tell me any song from this album is their favorite and a thought like, "Really?" wouldn't even cross my mind, which, ofc, isn't true for most music ex. how does anyone like Bounce Man, I don't get it (sorry, have to keep playing into my certified Bounce Man hater persona to annoy Ben)
The S, A+, and A songs are all songs I genuinely enjoy and I should really add them to my playlist. Obviously this is more true the higher on the tier list you get (with an asterisk on TB Saga, we'll talk more about that in a sec). Although, granted, due to the fact that they're very emotional and they sound ¿old?/not like the rest of the songs on the playlist, it probably wouldn't be uncommon for me to skip them.
Okay, so the asterisk on Taco Bell Saga: Taco Bell Saga is the greatest song of all time... but like not really, haha. But, like, it's the greatest song of all time.
The fact that a song such as Taco Bell Saga (an incredibly goofy silly fun song about Taco Bell) exists on the same album as Save (a song where Tyler Joseph is literally screaming and pleading with all his heart to God and Christ to save him) is incredible.
On top of that, it's just the fact that the man who made Taco Bell Saga is also the one who has made so many other powerful deep songs (Neon Gravestones feels like a prime example) and has, through his music, saved a lot of people's lives. It's just awesome and makes me happy.
Taco Bell Saga's existence makes me so happy. Enough to put it in S tier when perhaps it really shouldn't be. I almost gave it the #1 spot, haha, but Drown and Blasphemy are too goated.
Like, seriously, this fact is so hilarious and great to me. Feel free to check out this amazing thing yourself: Taco Bell Saga Link, Save Link.
This was a really tough tier list to make because emotion just plays such a large part in my love for these songs. Save, for example, I like less in several ways to Hear Me Now and Tonight, but it just hits me so hard. Obviously in other tier lists emotion plays a part, but not this strong of a part. On top of that, I don't actively listen to these songs, so I had to a lot of refreshing and such. But I think in the end, the tier list ended up in a good spot.
