Well, it's been awhile since I've done this. I've been co-opted by kids and politics the past few years. I can say I am no longer a tastemaker, and it wasn't until the end of 2021 that I actively started looking for new music again. So, with that said, here is what I liked from 2021, along with a few other things that I missed since the last music list.
21 Pilots - Scaled and Icy
Brandi Carlile - In These Silent Days
Mastodon - Hushed and Grim
Every Time I Die - Radical
Converge and Chelsea Wolfe - Bloodmoon: I
Julien Baker - Little Oblivions
Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
Run the Jewels - RTJ4
Deafheaven - Infinte Granite
