To be differentiated between the quantitative ranking by song. I listened to every song on the album. Then listened to something completely different to cleanse the palate, so to speak. Then I listened a 2nd time. If I ranked any songs differently between the 1st and 2nd listen, I gave them a 3rd listen. Then I worked out the percentages of awesome, good, OK, meh, and skips. From those calculations, I put the albums in order from the most liked songs to least. So it was a big process. But this is just my feeling. Which I guess is more judging the vibe of each album.
I’ll give you 3 words I think of when I see these albums:
1 Staring Down the Brilliant Dream
featuring, southern-reconciliation, concerned

sentimental, lonely, quietly-righteous

angry, real, personal is political
6 Poseidon and the Bitter Bug
concerts, introspective, hooks
