Top 10 Best Albums of 2021

2021 was a year of incredible music that showcased the breadth of talent and creativity across genres. From pop anthems and introspective indie gems to groundbreaking hip-hop and soul-stirring R&B, artists gave us albums that not only entertained but also spoke to the times we're living in. Some made us dance, some made us cry, and others gave us the space to think deeply about the world and our place in it.
The Top Ten
I Lie Here Buried with My Rings and My Dresses - Backxwash

This album is one of the very rare instances where trap and metal actually blend together successfully.

Happier Than Ever - Billie Eilish
30 - Adele

This is probably Adele's most vulnerable, most touching, and most ambitious album to date. Her vocal delivery is outstanding yet again, and her lyrics feel so relatable. Could this be her best album yet? Welcome back, Adele!

Get this higher than Sour. I was infuriated when Sour won a Grammy over this masterpiece.

Adele supremacy.

Her music is the moment.

Unstable - Tetrarch
Sour - Olivia Rodrigo

This is a great debut album by Olivia Rodrigo. I understand she may annoy some of you, but she truly deserves her success and is much better than Justin Bieber was at the same age.

This is a great album.

I see why some people would call her annoying. I thought she was really annoying at first and didn't get why people liked her, but I get it now.

I am always going to be a fan of Olivia and Billie! The best two singers in the world! My favorites, both number one, and I adore these two!

Long Lost - Lord Huron
Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine - Brockhampton
An Evening with Silk Sonic - Silk Sonic
Too Mean to Die - Accept
Van Weezer - Weezer

Trying Not to Think About It - Jojo
Niratias - Chevelle
To the Power of Eight - Van Canto
Magic Still Exists - Agnes
Pressure Machine - The Killers

If you love The Killers and haven't listened to this album yet, you are truly missing out on a wonderful gem. This is probably their finest album to date, although it's more intimate and less anthemic than their previous material. After Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska and Taylor Swift's Folklore and Evermore, here's The Killers' Pressure Machine. I was really blown away by the songwriting and the lush atmosphere of most songs on this album. A must-listen!

Judas - Lord of the Lost
Promises - Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & the Lso
