Top 44 Music Albums of 2023

2023 is now over and the listening journey was vastly vastly different than both 2021 and 2022. During all of 2023, I avoided listening to newly released material (mostly), both because I had my "Scaruffi 8/10-Adjacent"-project and to see if my mindset would alter if I didn't immediately hear something a few days or weeks old. I waited until the year was over, and then I went on RateYourMusic and selected the top albums for each of my favorite genres (principally Indie Folk/Singer-Songwriter, Dream Pop, Punk Rock etc). Therefore, this year has a much higher rating on average, because I didn't have to go through albums within genres I have experienced to not be a fan of (even though not all 2023 records I heard was golden by any means). But if you look at the number of albums I have heard - right now, precisely 300 albums - it's still relatively low compared to 2022's 1050 records and even 2021's 544. Although, I have managed to beat 2020's 175 which is good.
Anyway here's my favorites, the first completion in late february 2024.

80/100
Potentially the most elegant jazz album I have heard and that's saying alot. Steve Reich's mantras with Pharoah Sanders' spirituality and some New Age people having an orgy in heaven. It's almost unacceptable to make such heavenly compositions like Hidden Nook on planet Earth but hey ho. I love the ambient americana overtones of the electric guitar and the saxophone is entrancing. Some of this could go on for an eternity. The 19-minute Wind Whirl, though enjoyable, lacks the grasp of the first three cuts. [First added to this chart: 04/15/2024]
