I'm bad at ranking things but if it made the list, I probably love it. Some have favorite tracks listed, most don't.

This is it. This is my favorite album and has been a staple in my rotation for over a decade. I can't even choose my favorite tracks.

This album is simple and smooth, something that really grew on me over time. It's great to listen to when a special someone has you feeling some type of way.

A shouty shouty album, though fairly restrained as far as this band goes. The opening track is a unique telling of a storm/tornado approaching a family home, a dreadful feeling that I can imagine many midwesterners can relate to.
One of my absolute favorite bands in my late teens and early 20s. Grandiose sound, uplifting music. Emo and post rock collide.

Intricate hardcore punk. Not for the faint of heart. I consider this to be the heaviest album on this list.

The most recent addition to my rotation. Equal parts bangers and tender jams.
