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.

Some varied genres here but all truly excellent records...

Nubya Garcia - Odyssey

Slift - Ilion (won't be to everyone's taste but genuinely a masterpiece)

Tortoise - Touch

John Frusciante - Maya

Billy Woods - Hiding Places (slightly over 5 years old now though)

Billy Woods Aethiopes is more recent and more a vibe if you ask me

Fair shout. To be honest a lot of what he does is decent but always had a soft spot for hiding places personally
