79-70 are decent
All ratings are my own personal views.
Favorite Genre: Rock and Electronica
Note: The scissor emoji in some of my reviews are "choice cuts", certain songs on an album that I personally like.

Since AOTY only allows 5 albums, I'm putting some more here because there are more than 5 albums that I've championed over the years. These are in no particular order.
