101-200 Albums of 2021 by Mercury
Some of these albums are very good and it was hard taking them off top 100 of year. I really love this year in music so far. Also, a good few of these will be revisited and commented upon later down the line and, who knows, may rise high in and into the top 100.
I will now start another chart which is 2021 spill overs or 1-and-Dones (what this chart was for months). I had to make a spreadsheet like a dork because I know that soon this will get freaking way way to confusing to keep in order across 3 charts. Hope someday we have longer chart sizes.

I initially had a comment here that explained nothing of the album, I just thought "This is good" and that is essentially what I said. Now that I have had a chance to revisit this and absorb it, I think I understand what I like about it.
There is a certain "Lostness" here. This is the sound of a man after a few drinks, feeling sad and somber. The ramshackle rhythms and the piano chords and the distant horns all express a certain sadness and a certain drama which makes these otherwise straightforward songs sound larger and more intense.
The vocals of Guy are hit or miss. He is able to express that aforementioned sad despair with his warbly cadence. But perhaps he leans to heavily on that trick or sound. Nonetheless, I'd say on average the vocals are solid. The songwriting is solid. The real star of the album, however, are the extra musical embellishments that pop up to fill out this picture of loneliness and loss and yearning, the big synthy pulse on "Postcards from the Edge:", the somber horns on album opener "Sometimes", the noisy almost psychedelic backdrop of "Giving Up the Ghost", and the tear-jerking sounds of rain with that lonesome minor key piano on the epic closing track "Blue Butterfly". Its these details that bring the emotion home and make this a really solid album overall. [First added to this chart: 04/23/2021]

Impressive!...in both quality (of the insightful and descriptive notes and comments) and quantity (I'm only up to 69 2021 albums for the year as of now and I think I listen to a lot...wrongly I guess, hah!)

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
