Top 6 Music Albums of 2021
by Junomoogmello

There will not be many albums added to this chart, mainly because most of the albums I buy now are from the sixties, seventies and eighties when in my opinion music was at its most creative. I only buy vinyl and don't download music as I need to feel the tactility of an album and be absorbed in the artwork and cover notes.

This album was my introduction to Coldplay, therefore I am not comparing it to previous work. I really like it and will now work backwards for some of their earlier work. Some beautiful songs. [First added to this chart: 11/11/2023]

This reminds me a bit of At the Edge of Light and I think I may need to listen to both albums back to back to see how close they are. I love the string/pad textures Roger King creates and the subtle introduction of exotic instruments which builds on the atmospheres. I hadn't realised the drum stool is occupied by someone else so it will also be interesting to compare the rhythmic differences between the albums. I will provide a further review when I compare the two. [First added to this chart: 01/22/2022]

Stunning album, spanning Norwegian Folk and dipping several toes in modern prog. Haunting vocal harmonies make this a very different listen for any prog lovers daring to move into quite different territory. [First added to this chart: 07/03/2022]

Hats off to Gary Numan again. He has that talent of producing albums that sound like nobody else, as if his music has been composed in a different galaxy. I really liked the futuristic leanings of Songs From a Savage World and this could almost be part 2 of that epic. The soundscapes he creates musically illustrate the dystopian future. Swirling synth textures, robotic drum beats and driving electric bass lay the foundations for the futuristic vocals. 'I Am Screaming' is a personal favourite.

This is a really good album with a slightly 'rockier' feel to their previous works. The synth string/pad intro on the opening track is sublime. Side 2 is quite a soporific listen, good for an evening. [First added to this chart: 01/22/2022]

Deep Purple delivering an album with covers, mmmm. In 2021 couldn't they be a bit more creative, plenty to write about, lockdowns, isolation, world turmoil and they deliver this... There is no denying the music is excellent with a very Blues feel throughout but this particular Christmas present left me feeling a little disappointed really...
