Everyone on DiS's forum quickly came to a consensus on what their top 5 albums were going to be, with the only suspense being the order. So, of course, DiS throws a curveball - it's a 5-way tie for #1. They've left it up to their readers to put it to a vote, but since only critics' votes count here the spreadsheet will reflect their wishes, with each album averaging out to #3.

The top five albums are:

Blondes - Blondes
Chromatics - Kill for Love
Liars - WIXIW
Swans - The Seer
Sharon Van Etten - Tramp
