There is Fiona Apple in the list. It’s 64 before BC Camplight. This was probably a mistake. Or maybe a different version?

The SAULT album at number 1 is excellent. I hope its position on this list inspires some people to check it out.

I’ve listened to Rise and thought it was maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10. Is Black Is better?

Black Is and Rise are both great, though could do without the spoken words interludes on both

Honestly I think that all interludes are largely unnecessary (except instrumental ones). I find Stankonia’s and The College Dropout’s particularly annoying on albums I otherwise love.
