New Jersey, the greatest country in the world. Two criteria for this list: 1. Albums from artists who were born or resided in the greatest country in the world: New Jersey. 2. Albums that were recorded in New Jersey. An appearance on this list does not denote quality, only association with New Jersey (looking at you, Bon Jovi)

Worth Relistening In Full Can be new discoveries or albums I already knew, but must be something that I've felt compelled to sit down with the full album again. Intention is to collect all-timer 5s (as opposed to respect 5s) and "4.5"-level albums that left an impression on me. No particular order

Right artist, wrong album I would have picked a different album by this artist. If they have multiple list entries, I'd pick an unselected one over this one, or just exclude this one.

My New Discoveries These albums came out of nowhere for me. I did not know the artist/album before experiencing it here. (One exception: I knew Tom Waits, but hadn't listened to any of his albums.)

Newish to me, 8/10+ Low to no familiarity, at the album level; rated at least 8 on a 10 scale.

Suck These records suck. 3/10 or less. Am I glad they suck? Of course not. Leonard Cohen sucks so bad that his records push The Bee Gees out of the 4-album list thumbnail.

Metal on Da List Because I'm annoyed how little metal is on the list, I want to see them all with each other (and taking out the albums that are labeled metal erroneously. Its not a value judgment on those albums, I loved Dirt, Opus Dei, and Back to Mystery City; but they just are not metal albums)
