Top 10 Best Albums of 2022

The Top Ten

  1. Ants from Up There - Black Country, New Road

    The best album of 2022 so far! The instrumentation is very rich and diverse. The vocals are great too. If you like art rock with jazzy influences, you will definitely love this record.

    Honestly the best album of the past two decades. Love this thing to death.

    Amazing album, one of the best in the past 10 years.

  2. Dawn FM - The Weeknd

    Expansive body of work.

  3. Once Twice Melody - Beach House

    An excellent return for Beach House. Definitely one of their best albums.

  4. Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You - Big Thief

  5. Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers - Kendrick Lamar

    Another impressive album by Kendrick that was totally worth the five years of waiting. Kendrick's narrative always manages to touch the listener's deepest feelings. I love how this album discusses fatherhood and family.

    The guest features are also carefully chosen and always on point. Thank you, Kendrick, for bringing one of the absolute best albums of 2022. It will end up high on a lot of mid-year and year-end lists for sure.

  6. God of War Ragnarök (Original Soundtrack) - Bear McCreary

  7. Melt My Eyez See Your Future - Denzel Curry

    Another great album by one of the most underrated rappers ever!

  8. Caprisongs - FKA Twigs

  9. Glitch Princess - Yeule

  10. Aethiopes - Billy Woods

    If you like jazz-influenced hip-hop, you'll love this record.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Memoria - Serenity

  12. ?

    Seize the Fate - Nemophila

    13. The Contenders

  13. Requiem - Korn

  14. Fossora - Björk

  15. The Forever Story - JID

    Easily a top 3 rap album of the year.

  16. PEP - Lights

  17. Ghostlight - Poets of the Fall

  18. Motomami - Rosalia

    I'm still pretty behind on 2022 albums, but I have to say Motomami is a strong example. After El Mal Querer, I was cautiously expecting the follow-up to not be as good, but I think Motomami might potentially be better.

    Maybe for someone who knows more Spanish-language music, she wouldn't be that unique, but I love the wide variety of sounds she blends into this album, and Rosalia's voice remains as gorgeous as ever.

  19. Church - Billy Woods

  20. Gone to Stay - John Norum

  21. The End, So Far - Slipknot

  22. Raw Data Feel - Everything Everything

    Another gem from Everything Everything. Probably their best album since Get to Heaven!

  23. Dance Fever - Florence + the Machine

  24. Final Advent - Dynazty

  25. Three Dimensions Deep - Amber Mark

  26. Stick Season - Noah Kahan

  27. Brightside - The Lumineers
