Top 100 Music Albums of 2016
by babyBlueSedan

What's up 2016. 2015 was phenomenal but I have high hopes for you. Before we start here are my post-2014 year chart ground rules:

1. Everything I listen to this year will be listed here with a comment. Partially because I like keeping track of everything and partially because I think it's just as valuable to know why someone doesn't like something as why they do.

1a. My comments get really out of date because I don't update them. So they probably refer to a list order that is no longer accurate or just say "I need to give this another spin". Oh well.

2. I'll mention here how many albums are "keepers", meaning I plan on adding them to my collection. These are the albums that I think I'll still be listening to in 10 years.

3. Albums rated 70 or 65 that aren't keepers still come highly recommended. Typically these albums will have consistency issues or will have a sound I enjoy without doing much memorable with it.

33 keepers so far! This was a tremendous, deep year - keeping nearly 33% of albums I heard is well above average for me, at least I think so.

*Update 9/3/18: updated everything 70 or above, the rest who cares

*Update 2/19/20: I did it again

This started off promising but I'm really picky when it comes to metal and that "screeeee" sound that they have on all their songs really got to me after a while.

I didn't hate this as much as I thought it would. It flowed better than people give it credit for. But I really don't like that electronic noise at all and I can't really describe why. And some of the songs are boooooring.

I'm gonna go ahead and give this a 95 for now just while its in the "under construction" phase, but i really like how you give your charts context in the opening notes. makes for much better understanding. Thank you.
