the amount of music I heard this year that really moved me is kinda nuts, my entire top 20 albums are those I really spent good time with and felt something special from. so much good shit. was really easy to hash out my top 5 though, just because all those albums are phenomenal life affirming works that reminded me why I love music so much. felt way more connected this year than I have in a long while. also some years I do a separate EP list but the two EPs I put up in the top here felt as substantial to my listening than most other albums did

 

My top 5 is pretty locked in but I have a lot that I love and need to return to. Plus a million things to check out

 

I think Gleemer is the only thing left on my radar for the year, barring any surprises. Will probably try to make a list in a couple weeks. Definitely a weird year where there’s a lot that I loved but don’t necessarily feel compelled to put something in my top. Feel like this was a particularly weak year for hip hop too
