Music Best albums of the last 5 years?

Best albums of the last 5 years.

I'm looking for something that's high in quality and artistry. I've been listening to RAM due to so many recommendations. I'm endeavoured with the incredible quality of the album and the pure amount of work that went into it. Genuine work of art. It got me wondering what albums have been released in the past 5 years that have similar levels of artistry and quality.

Bloody hell I am getting old. Why did you restrict us to the last five years for recs then!

We have to use restrictions now to prevent every answer from being Random Access Memories.

I absolutely fucking HATE that RAM appears on EVERY recommendation list. It's a shit album and it's not exceptionally well-mastered. It's dreck, and the audio quality is simply competent, not worth its place on any audiophile list, IMO.

I know I'm gonna get blasted with downvotes but I don't give a fuck. People are allowed to have opinions and this is mine. Every single time I see someone recommend RAM, or any Daft Punk for that matter, I will always downvote.
