Top 100 Music Albums of 2023
by 
LedZep 
This year's gimmick in the comments is writing a short, free flowing "review" and possibly adding a thing or two about a chosen track from the album.
Musical goals for 2023:
Try to top the 2020 albums tally (unlikely) - :(
Have a full chart (100 entries/albums listened) by the end of April - :(
Keep a list of concerts/DJ sets/events I've been to - :)
Finish the 80s chart - :)
Finish the RYM singles project and (possibly) the top concerts of 2022 rundown - :(
Refine the 00s and 90s charts, as well as the 2022 one - :)
Make a more serious 2020s chart with at least 90 entries (possibly full 100, depending on the quality of this year's music) - :)

December release of the month
Captures one of the best producer/DJ duos of all time at the peak of their powers, playing their best tracks. Has rad remixes (Turn the Page remix is the best thing ever), simple and effective mixing/transitions, features live vocals from For Those I Love. Finding a cooler set than this will be a tough ask. I love Dobermans. [First added to this chart: 02/28/2024]

Both parts of London Brew song are masterful. The first one lets every band member play almost freely, which creates an incredible array of versatile, adventurous, and above all, fun solos. The second part builds and builds and then almost comes to a halt instead of culminating. But instead of being the song's undoing, those last few minutes sound so intriguing that they've become my favourite part of the album. Honestly, all 8 songs are winners, but those first 2 are colossal and could've easily been too long or chaotic in the hands of other, less skillful musicians, which is thankfully not the case at all. In the end, despite it being an ode to Bitches Brew, I think this has more in common with Get Up With It, which is one of the best albums ever released imo, so it's quite a high praise.

Jungle bangers remixed. The OG EP is just as good.

What a lovely, classic P.J. album. She's not reinventing the wheel here, but it's definitely a slightly different direction than usual - exactly the right amount of "new". Then again, she never misses. The closer, A Noiseless Noise is my fave, it sounds the closest thing to Low she's ever done. Excellent song with beautiful progression.

K-65 is one of my favourite DJ-s and producers currently working. Dude's almost completely unknown outside of certain underground circles, but in my opinion makes some of the best hard and heavy tracks on the intersection of breaks, electro, techno, tekno, dnb and bass styles. This is his best and most diverse EP yet and I'm loving every second of it. Jungle tekno rager On the Floor might be his best production yet.

Progressive and breaks and bass and acid and bleep. Sublime production and attention to details. Besides all that, it's just cool and dancefloor ready.

The Blades is an incredible jam. I love how they've perfected their blend of krautrock/experimental jams with modern post punk and indie. Seemless and enjoyable.

Another excellent British post-punk band, they go more into the post rock/experimental territory, much like BCNR, but with an emphasis on saxes and jazz.
