With every passing day I grow to love what 2021 had to offer musically more and more. It was the year of spectacular female pop acts for sure. But I honestly felt like each end of my musical taste was substantially fed.

2. Ameoba - Clairo
3. California - Chvrches

It's the most personal and heartfelt Weezer project since Pinkerton which is a top 10 ever album for me so this one is an instant classic. Weezer and orchestra was meant to be.

This album has a dreamlike quality that I've never seen done in such this specific way, that with the washed-out guitars and stuff it really feels densely packed with emotion. It does towards the end feel a little aimless with tracks that could all act as closers stuck next to each other but the feelings I get when listening to this project are unparalleled

It's so personal and heartfelt that it makes me feel like it was written by a very close friend

Another pop masterpiece on my 2021 chart, my heart can't take it oh my gosh. California, How Not To Drown and He Said She Said all could've album defining anthems, but they just said nah we’re gonna stack the crap out of this record and make it one of the most infectious album listening experiences ever.

Man I can't get enough of this. It's like if Michel Jackson's Thriller and Lianne La Havas self titled came together and made greatness

It's not a conceptual behemoth of a masterpiece like Igor, but hardly anything is. Going for a fun mixtape as a follow-up was so smart, just a ton of fun.

Never even played Guilty Gear, this soundtrack just stands on it's own as a fantastic listen. Great metal tunes like The Smell of The Game and The Hero. Great pop tunes like The Disaster of Passion. And combos of both like Love the Subhuman Self.
