Some great choices in there. Carrie and Lowell potential album of the decade contender.
 
What's the criteria?
A perfect album full of brilliant songs the world would love or a perfect album for beardy pitchforkers to pat themselves on the back for liking?

Expect an emotionally charged, relatively sparse album. Worth reading the back story. It was written after the death of his mam. She was inand out of his life in his childhood and adulthood, and a difficult woman to boot. Some of the songs are linear in addressing the fact, some explore what might have been/what his perfect relationship with her might have looked like, some explore his early memories. It’s unbelievable, beautiful. There’s a line close to the end where he says ‘fuck me im falling apart’ and it makes the hairs stand up on my neck every time.
