ZaziGuado's comments on this week's poll choices:

I wanted to do albums that I enjoy mostly front to back, would (maybe probably hopefully) be recognizable to most users, and that I'm unsure of how I would actually rank.

Folklore is currently my number one choice for an album that I'll play when I want to relax and the album that made me truly realize how excellent Taylor Swift is at her craft, even if all her previous albums never enticed me. She's not just an expert at creating radio singles, but rather she is a total and complete powerhouse of a songwriter.

Stunt feels like a quintessential 90s album to me. BNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfdTnpV03p8) are most known for their singles, and admittedly I haven't listened to many of their albums in full, but Stunt is able to hold my attention and showcases their ability to write a humorous song as well as an emotional one.

Plans is not, in my opinion, the best Death Cab For Cutie album (that would be Transatlanticism), but it has better tracks when taken individually (including one of my all time favorite tracks). As such, I feel it works better for ranking. The 2000s era of Ben Gibbard might be my favorite songwriter and the way he crafted verses, if not necessarily their content, was a huge influence on my vocabulary and the way I use words.
