Favorite Albums List

Note

This is a personal favorites list, not my own discography. I am strict with these ratings. An album does not casually land in 4.5/5, and even less in 5/5. Albums also do not move into 5/5 quickly. For me, they only belong there if I keep valuing and replaying them over multiple years. I only listed 4.5/5 and 5/5 here because the full list is extremely long.
