What a difference 9 years makes.

Skyline at Edgbaston Reservoir this day 9 years ago on the left, vs a few weeks ago on the right.

So many skyscrapers

Found it hard to narrow down my Top Albums this year, so not overthinking it and going with the "tiers" approach. The God Tier is probably roughly in order, but I would refer to them all as Top 5. The Top Tier I found I kept going back to these albums, which I think there is something to be said for
