As I expect to review 1-3 more albums this year, I will edit this post/tier list as needed, but this seems to be the time of year when people are looking for a top albums list.  Again, find the artist in the "Labels" tab to read the reviews.  (Alternatively, you can click "Scott's Song by Song" in the labels as well.)  Don't forget to let me see your version of my list, or if you make your own, let me see that too!
