2021: Album Addiction
Comments (5)
This is a record of all the 2021 releases I've listened to and rated. I wasn't able to make a list throughout the year last time since I joined mid-year, but this time, I finally have the chance to!
(I include EPs as well, just that the list name kinda has this alliteration thing going on and I don't want to ruin it)
Total records: 106
Transcendent (90-99): 0
Amazing (80-89): 4
Good (70-79): 35
Nice (60-69): 41
Decent (56-59): 9
A mixed bag/Not my cup of tea (50-55): 9
Eww yuck ick no booooo (0-49): 8
Record of the month:
January: Partitas Part 1: BWV 825, 826, 830 by Evgeni Koroliov (73, really good)
February: L.W. by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (76, really good)
March: Promises by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra (83, amazing)
April: Like Water - The 1st Mini-Album by Wendy (84, amazing)

2021 Records to watch #4: Wow. Great record by KG, and I loved this more than their previous work. In my opinion, the best album out of the 3 that experiments with microtonal sounds.

2021 Records to watch #3: Man January 15th is by far the best day of 2021 in terms of music. A brilliant interpretation of Bach's work by Evgeni Koroliov. Both works as an album to experience or put in the background.
