Favourite albums of 2023

2024-01-22T08:56:00.004-05:00

While most places rush to post their Best Of lists as close to December 1st as possible, I like taking the holidays catch up on things I might have missed and enjoy releasing a better list in the back-half of January.

This might be the last year I have the time to follow music so closely. I've been looking at my "best of" lists as a way to summarize a year, and in many ways these lists become a time capsule. A lot of music comes out in any one year and there's always more to discover, so these might be the 40 that are sifted out and carried forward with enthusiasm and emotion.

I listen to albums primarily, but I do let myself delete one or two tracks on an album if they annoy me. Some albums above are on my list with the consideration of a track or two deleted, and I encourage the same. Curate your own space.

my favourite albums of 2022

My favourite albums of 2022 (so far)

It's that time of year again: 2022 has been gone for a few weeks. Anyone who tried to sell you on a "best of 2022" list before 2022 was over? SNAKEOIL.

This list will change as I spend even more time with these albums. I hate the idea of a AOTY list being a stagnant thing where we record our emotional reactions to albums without having an opportunity to put them down and revisit them a 2nd or 3rd time.
