5. Leviticus: ****** - Fluttershy_Pony, Johnbobb
11. A Tear and a Smile - Fluttershy_Pony

Fluttershy_Pony - Honestly, the only album that I could possibly give first place to this topic. The raw power and emotion on display rather destroys everything it was up against this cycle; it does lose a bit of a steam towards the end as it feels a bit more "typical love song"-y at times, but even its most forgettable tracks are still good. I actually had five songs from this album in my Top Songs list before adding my self-imposed three song limit.

Seanchan - I just didn't care for this album.

Seanchan - Easily my favorite new (to me) album of this ranking cycle. I immediately took a shine to this and it has not gone away since, despite listening to this at least a dozen times since we initially covered it. It's just catchy piano pop with fun instrumentation and great singing. There's tons of earworms here, so I'm at least glad it got some love on the song level from the rest of the group.

Fluttershy_Pony - I... don't remember this, but I have vague memories of kinda bopping to it? Something about a raincoooaaaatttt, a yellow raincoooaaa~ttttt? *goes back to click a few songs* Ah, yes. Pretty fun album, even if it never leaves a lasting impact. There's still something to be said about something that's fun and fleeting. [Later: I've had 1985 and Raincoat stuck in my head for days now, so I'm redoing my submission to add them to the Songs of the Cycle list & move this album up a few rankings.]
