How could one form a top 2021 when Neil Young is releasing an album in 7 days?
The prevalence of "year-end lists" that are published in late November/early December really nag at the pedant in me.
I'm still working on my 2020 list
That's how it should be. Let it marinate -- there are plenty of things to rank in the meantime!

There are many albums from this year that I still need to let settle. I'll drop a list nearer to Christmas.

Would love to see some of you jump the gun, though.

Brad usually kicks off the mixtape thread around the 15-20 December.

I've seen this high on many UK AOTY lists. I tried (and will listen again) but it didn't stick with me although it is truly quite a listen. Joey, you should hear this for sure.

It’s okay. Starts well. Halfway thru I’m thinking of other music to listen to.

I watched this and then listened to some of her album this morning -- I know she's talked about how big of an influence Taylor Swift is on her, and man you can really hear it. And not just in the way that widely popular artists always spawn copycats; it feels "studied," like TS's writing style, melodic tendencies, etc. are genuinely ingrained in this music's DNA.

I know this kind of thing happens all the time, I always just find it interesting to see the way musical "generations" inspire each other, and how Taylor Swift (whose arrival in the music world I remember clearly) is now to other people what Pearl Jam were to me (i.e. artists I grew up with and looked up to).

Finally got around to A Magnificent Day For An Exorcism.

Mind is thoroughly blown. What a fucking album. I've picked up so much great music from RM lately.
