I love these albums (10s, 9s, and some high 8s)

Discoveries is not a great term to use here (just albums that didn't come out this year that I listened to for the first time this year) for reference I've listened to about 100+ of these ...

Had to do a top 15 instead of a top 10 cuz this year was so great lol for reference I've heard about 135+ albums/ projects from this year

Albums that I listened to for the first time this year that DIDN'T release this year.
