Dawn FM got an 8 but it’s at 11. I’m sure it leapfrogged a whole bunch of albums they scored higher.

damn thats crazy

Kendrick as well, they gave him a 7 point something

i miss tinymixtapes

Time Skiffs should be on every list

The fact it’s so much lower on these lists than the Beyoncé is sad af tho especially when it’s levels better than at it

one of the greatest years for albums all time and lemonade sweeps ain't no one who had an independent thought? it's just not possible

That’s expected tbh

i mean...Lemonade is a great album though. i wouldn't say it was my #1 of that year, but definitely top 10 imo

they essentially retconned that too when they called Blonde album of the decade ahaha

or when they ranked self-titled above Lemonade

Jockstrap AOTY

pitchfork the only publication that will have oren ambarchi and beyonce in the list

And I love Lemonade but yeah no publication in retrospect would put that as #1 in the year that gave us Blonde

Heard 37 of these. Not a bad list, though I still don't get what makes Renaissance AOTY outside of Beyoncé's name being on it. This year was a little light on comparable dance albums but 2020 alone had at least 3 better dance albums.

DAWN FM

vindication

(2022 a weak year in music tbh)

I keep forgetting to check out that Beth Orton album, seems like it would be right up my alley

Never see any of KTT's fave's in these year end lists/award shows. Makes you think

Here for Renaissance and Hypnos! 🏆

Renaissance far and wide the most perfectly crafted album of '22.

Even Lemonade is kinda inconsistent. It's a great event album with memorable highs and a lot of background drama to hook you in but definitely flawed. 2016 had many albums that were better.

what tracks would you say are the weakest?

i do agree though, 2016 definitely had some better albums

I never wanna sound combative when I ask, but what's your AOTY pick? we always disagree but then never give our own opinion lol

well they got #1 right.

Big Thief made one of my favorite albums of all time, so that's my #1. I can put that album on any time and be swept away with it

Cities Aviv dropped a sprawling masterpiece with Man Plays the Horn and that's gotten completely overlooked, probably my rap AOTY

Billy Woods, Black Country New Road, Alvvays, Weyes Blood, Alex G all absolute gems and great picks from this list
