Top 20 Music Albums of 2021 by 
ForegroundNoise 
The second year in a row now where I've obsessively listened to every release that's interested me as it came out(ish). Overall prognosis from me (in line with most people on here) is that 2021 packed more of a punch than last year, even if I didn't have as much time on my hands to sit around and listen to music (unsurprisingly). Doubt I'll have time to write anything down about them, but I did write some silly little poem/tweets about my favourite songs of the year if you're interested: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/ForegroundNoise/my-top-10-songs-of-2021/
