Top 100 Music Albums of 2021
by

pandemic year two: spotify wrapped labeled my listening habit as "ecstatic & mystic" - that's the vibe for this chart I guess. I would add: crushing - it's been a great year for Post Punk, especially for the jazzy-noisy nu wave from Britain, which should be categorised as Math Punk in my opinion (as vaccine patents weren't abolished this year, I would like to patent this term, so you have to cite me everytime when talking about Math Punk). Probably the worst year in pop music since my adolsence which means I',m getting old.
