The only thing that would mean, is that in one person's opinion, CIS ranks lower (based on one or more criteria) than 9 other SY albums. For all we know, it may be the person's 10th favorite record by any artist ever, which would be pretty remarkable.
Furthermore, if you don't believe in ranking, that means if you could only hear one SY album again, for the rest of your life, you would choose one album randomly. Is that what you would do?
