It’s that time of the year when we look at the albums that I have listened to this year.
I have listened to 68 albums this year which means all the tracks on an album for at least a minimum of three listens some listening all week long.
I have already posted my top ten tracks of 2021 but here are my favourite albums in no particular order:
1. Little Simz-Sometimes I might be introvert
2. Wolf Alice-Blue weekend
3. Carcass-Torn arteries
4. The Vaccines-Alone star
5. Maximo Park-Nature always wins
6. Quicksand-Distant populations
7. Turnstile-GLOW ON
8. Laura Mvula-Pink noise
9. The Go Team!-Get up sequences part one
10. Adele-30
Been an amazing year for music if nothing else. A vast majority of nineties bands/artists released albums in this year such as Quicksand, Garbage, Foo Fighters, At the gates, Carcass, Weezer et al.
A lot of new music this year that has been great such as Little Simz, Laura Mvula, Arlo Parks, Turnstile etc.
Music is constantly changing and evolving and every year showcases different talent and genres.
Top lyrics from this year:
“Trying to finish the book I was reading
Put it down for too long
Got distracted by other things
Forgot the characters and their names.”
Quicksand-Phase 90
“Would you deceive me?
If I had a dick
Would you know it?
Would you blow it?“
Garbage-Godhead
“Would you like me to be smaller, weaker, softer, taller?
Would you like me to be quiet?
Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest?
Am I my stomach? My hips?
The body I was born with
Is it not what you wanted?
If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman
If I shed the layers, I’m a slut.“
Billie Eilish-Not my responsibility
