Listen, if my sleep wasn’t all over the fucking place the last six weeks I would have really gone in on the end of year content, but as it stands I am like… drained of brainpower and motivation and all I do is periodically notice that my jaw is clenched and try to relax it. So I didn’t have it in me to write about the albums I loved this year, which is a shame because this has been a pretty good year for albums on the whole? There’s some obvious entries, one surprising one (you’ll know it when you see it), one that isn’t really an album at all but it’s so good it deserves to be there and a handful you maybe won’t have listened to but I really do urge you to at least give them a try. If you missed my best songs of the year, you can read about them here and follow the playlist here. End of decade rankings coming up tomorrow!
