I don't know why I felt the need to explain myself to all of you hahaha.
Well, it's always nice to read anyone's reasoning.. so it gives us all something to compare our thoughts to.
Here's my ranking (which will always be tentative):
[1]
Heroes & Thieves (the string arrangements are particularly admiring to me, slightly more than on 'Harmonium'.. and I adore the storybook structure)
[2]
Harmonium (the piano + strings are so brilliant. And there's that edgier, dark sound that spikes my blood.)
[3]
Rabbits on the Run (brilliant, mastermind lyrics. Yet I don't feel that same passion as I do in the prior two, perhaps b/c of the "dreamy" atmosphere that drove this record.)
[4]
Be Not Nobody (her debut album definitely shows diversity. But, it's been almost a decade and I still don't have the desire to learn how to play piano in each song as I do for the other albums.)
But at the end of the day, we're all going to agree that each of her albums is fabulous in its own way, making them all equally magnificent.
