And now this brings us to the end. The final category. The last two albums.
Let's see which ones are left to reveal...
Best Albums #2-1
 | All I Need
Artist: Foxes
Grade: 95%, A | Metacritic: 67
Release Date: 02/05/2016
Review: Foxes struck gold yet again! All I Need may be significantly more generic than her debut record Glorious, but the quality still remains for sure. A great majority of the album is filled with cutesy, sugary jams that have an incredibly happy feel to them. Then on the flip side, there are some ballads that are kinda simple, but are heightened by hard-hitting, sad lyrics and Louisa's emotional vocals. Both of these sides come together to create an addicting and lovable record from start to finish. |

01. Money
 | Joanne
Artist: Lady Gaga
Grade: 95.9%, A | Metacritic: 67
Release Date: 10/21/2016
Review: ...And to think I was nervous about this era once PI came out.  On Joanne, Gaga takes off the wigs and crazy outfits for her most lowkey and personal release thus far, and it completely worked for her. The bops aren't as pop as most were craving, but they're still fun and are able to be danced to. Then she comes through with a handful of slow songs, some of which being the best of her discography. This actually started off at around a 93% (#10) at first, but my score seemed to grow with every listen until nearly all tracks had a 9/10 and up. Speaking of which, the replay value is truly infinite with this one. The deluxe edition is only 48 minutes long and every play feels short, which just makes you want to relive it all over again. For some, this is the album they never wanted. For me, this is the album I never knew I needed. |

those first 2 mixtapes dont count.
her holy trinity will always be: Speak Now, Red, & 1989.

All are A- and above, though!
Of course! Wonderland, Clean, Blank Space and How You Get the Girl alone are all in her top 15 best songs  |
OOTW is in her top 1

Speak Now is her best for me because it's much more relatable
