Fluttershy_Pony - I love the atmosphere and general sound of The Cure. If only this weren't so long... I probably have this way too high, but this is something I can throw on in the background and just generally vibe with for an hour.

Seanchan - I just couldn't get into the general vibe on this album. Also...it's long.

Fluttershy_Pony - A few songs that I love and am always glad to see pop up on Spotify make this fairly easily one of the best albums of the cycle. i'll admit it doesn't have as many songs I like as, say Born in the USA, but the songs that I do like are notably beyond anything on Bruce Springsteen's album. I originally had this album in second place, but moved another album up at the last minute.

Seanchan - It's hard to remember if I immediately liked this album back in the day or if it took me time to warm up to it. At any rate, revisiting it for these projects made me love it all over again, as I was continually like "oh yeah, that song!" In many aspects this feels like an album I shouldn't like, but it has just enough rock and pop sensibilities to pull me in.

FYI, The Suburbs was the only album to get a song selection from all 5 who submitted song lists. It also had the highest low ranking at 9 (with only 1 other album, not yet revealed, even coming close to that). And yet, still only good enough for a tie for third!
