Hi! This is the score chart for all the albums I've reviewed on this blog, ranked from highest to lowest. I've also added a link to my complete review of each one. Ties are split by which album has more of the highest ratings. If I ever re-did an album review (which I only did once, for Guts), the one listed here is the newest one.
I will say, the 5-point scale is not the fairest way of judging albums, because it categorizes songs very broadly. So even though, for example, Laufey's Letter To My 13 Year Old Self and Gracie Abrams' Blowing Smoke are two songs that are both rated as "5/5 great", my opinions on those two songs are vastly different from each other. Even if I were to switch to a more specific system like a 10-point system or even a percentage system, it still wouldn't take into account things like storyline, cohesion, and the album's impact on pop culture. Shorter albums in particular are the least accurate to my actual opinions.
If I were to just purely rank these albums without scoring them track-by-track, there's no way I would have Hit Me Hard And Soft higher than Bewitched and tied with Sour, or For Crying Out Loud below Short N Sweet and tied with The Secret Of Us, and definitely not Reputation below both Rosie and Timeless (and by 7-8 whole points at that!), but whatever, these are the scores I got based on the 5-point scale.

Just to be clear, this is how I would color code my albums (nothing so far has gone below a "mediocre" yellow rating):
Dark purple: 101% or more (Beyond Incredible)
Purple: 100% (Incredible)
Green: 85-99% (Great)
Blue: 70-84% (Good)
Pink: 55-69% (Decent)
Yellow: 40-54% (Mediocre)
Light Blue: 25-39% (Bad)
Red: 1-24% (Terrible)
Orange: 0% (Completely Unredeemable)
This Color: -1% or less (Worse Than Unredeemable)
I don't think any album I've ever listened to would even get below mayyyybe a 25%, because when I really don't like an artist's music, I usually just don't even have the interest to listen to a whole album of theirs, and in the rare case that I do listen to an album by an artist I don't particularly enjoy (e.g. Charli XCX's Brat), I'm at least a little pleasantly surprised. I hope it stays that way.
