somewhat of a rough cut now. lots of volatility.
the 9/10's are sorted as well as the 8.5/10's. For the 8/10's i just pulled a few favorites to the top. I have not listened repeatedly to quite a few of the albums here but judged them for potential from first and second listens. Entries might rise or drop off easily here. i suspect no 9/10 could fall below an 8/10 and hardly a 8.5/10 can fall below a 8/10.
