All 2023 Listens Ranked

I will be ranking every album and EP released in 2023 that I listen to from worst to best, with 1 being best.

Paramore - This Is Why
1.
89
Paramore blows me away with a perfectly crafted record that left me ROCKING... and maybe crying.
Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good!
2.
87
Yeah, this has been on repeat since it came out. It's a horny masterpiece.
JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
3.
86
A great day for insufferable music listeners.
The Murder Capital - Gigi's Recovery
4.
85
Gets more powerful with each listen.
Maruja - Knocknarea
5.
82
The short EP doesn't waste time dragging you on an exciting journey though shoe-gaze, rock, and a mighty fine saxophone.
Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)
6.
80
The sometimes gleeful, sometimes dark trip through psychedelia-infused rock is not a journey to miss out on.
slowthai - UGLY
7.
79
Emo-rap meets punk-rock in the best form.
Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here.
8.
78
Yachty tries psych rock and does it justice.
Logic - College Park
9.
77
Logic comes off as having more fun, but also acting more professional than most of his other work, with a concept album I wasn't expecting, but ended up enjoying.
NF - HOPE
10.
73
A moment of growth and healing from the cinematic rapper.
파란노을 [Parannoul] - After the Magic
11.
72
A sweet surprise from South Korea.
Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation
12.
67
Catchy and confident.
boygenius - the record
13.
68
Three singer-songwriters sing and write on these songs.
Jack Harlow - Jackman.
14.
67
Despite its lack of a fully complete project, Jackman is a strangely personal and professional album from Jack Harlow.
Gorillaz - Cracker Island
15.
67
'Cracker Island' has more catchy moments than most are caring to admit, but it lacks in consistency and boldness.
Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You
16.
66
Too hollow for my liking, but it's something unique and fresh in the world of pop.
Beach House - Become
17.
66
The impressively dreamy album sweeps me off my feet, but doesn't say much.
Melanie Martinez - PORTALS
18.
63
PORTALS is definitely one of the more dynamic albums this year, both sonically and thematically.
redveil - playing w/ fire
19.
60
redveil is hungry for the 15 minutes this EP lasts
Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy
20.
60
Great listen, but not as fun or as exciting as I was hoping.
Don Toliver - Love Sick
21.
59
Realistically, this album is garbage, but I have a lot of fun listening to it.
Rebecca Black - Let Her Burn
22.
57
Rebecca Black shows promise but there are a lot of clashing and convoluted sounds.
100 gecs - 10,000 gecs
23.
55
The crazy fun album quickly dissolves into madness.
Sam Smith - Gloria
24.
52
Exceeded expectations, but not by much.
Kelela - Raven
26.
48
An hour of waiting for something to happen, to be honest.
Macklemore - BEN
27.
45
Corny lines and bland beats, but somehow Benjamin Hammond Haggerton's self-titled still presents highlights.
Trippie Redd - MANSION MUSIK
28.
28
Some of the songs go hard but the length and repetitiveness makes this an unbearable listen.
Stray Kids - The Sound
29.
25
Kpop group tries to make an album that isn't annoying and boring challenge [impossible]
Wyatt James - Fuck Eating On The Weekend
30.
23
The TikTok star listened to none of the criticism in his comment section, and it shows.
31.
22
For a short while, Like..? holds the number one spot.
Lil Pump - Lil Pump 2
32.
7
The worst of Lil Pump creeps out in gross one-liners, boring beats, and annoying rapping.
DaBaby - CALL DA FIREMAN
33.
1
I legitimately did not know a project could sound this bad. +1 point for Offset feature.
Liturgy - 93696
34.
Absolutely epic from start to finish. I have trouble assigning a numerical rating.

@jaz_4 the more I come back to this list the more I agree. Maybe both albums are due for a re-review
