THE TOP 20 ALBUMS OF 2023
Music had been too good for too long. I can't remember a run of good to great years of music like this since the 90s and I thought it had to have an off year at some point, right? I also didn't want to get swamped with a ton of new shit to listen to, because the ol' memory bank is getting full. I've discovered my ceiling for albums in a year is about 150; after that, everything I hear gets lost in the sauce and it gets harder to process with each project I add.
In 2023 I listened to two hundred twenty-five.
Oops.
I didn't even realize I'd done it until it was far too late. Part of it was onboarding albums until January 2nd (when normally I'd have my lists posted by late December). The other part is a compulsive need I've built up over the last three years or so to finish everything on a list, no matter how impossible I make the task. (A great example is my YouTube "Watch Later" queue. I have like 400 things in there and when I watch YouTube I feel like I have to "make progress". Even my leisure activities…no, scratch that. Even my "turn off my brain because I don't even have energy for leisure activities" activities have become nothing more than To Do lists. I'm sick of it.)
So yeah, went a bit crazy with the year end here. For these times, that's just par for the course.
But in reviewing the albums I had pegged for top honors, the quality level was not as lacking as I'd thought before either. I assumed I'd have trouble filling out the Top 20, like a couple of defaults might sneak in but nope! I'd easily say this sails way over the bar of 2019 (the other 200+ year). I put frickin' White Denim in my Top 20 then. Who the fuck is White Denim? I haven't listened to it since (though I'm curious to do so).
I guess the point is, 2023 turned out better than I expected on the music front. It was not a year off, for better or worse. So let us recount that year and take a look at the good I found in it:
For new readers to the blog: Instead of just listing the Top 20 albums and being done with it, I list all of the albums I hear in a year, broken up into tiers: The Bottom, Meh, Okay, Pretty Good, Honorable Mentions and The Top 20. The Bottom and Meh tiers were already covered in my Top Ten Worst Albums Of 2023 blog, so if you want to know what I thought sucked (a little to a lot), there's your link.
So with all that out of the way, let's get this show on the road!
Oh, right. One more piece of business. Because I had a longer ingestion period than normal, I ran across fifteen more albums that would've been in the Meh tier, but since I published that blog…two months ago (dear God time is evaporating), I'm just gonna post them here as an update:

Wild Nothing “Hold”

ZZ Ward "Dirty Shine"
- Life Is But A Dream… is our first example of an album that was on my Worst list that I had a change of mind about. And it was the biggest surprise because from the moment I first heard it, this was a lock. It was even a frontrunner for Worst Album of the Year for awhile. But when I listened back to rank it, for some reason, it just worked. It's incredibly, inCREDIBLY flawed, otherwise it'd be higher, but I think I get it now? I still get why someone would put this as the Worst of 2023, but I also get why someone would love it. You've gotta admit, it swings for the fences.
- Baroness's album was by far the best produced of their career, and "Last Word" was great, but outside of that, I remember Stone nothing about it, so I guess it's fine.
- I should've given Honorable Mention status to the Chris Stapleton songs "White Horses" and "South Dakota", so here's me rectifying that. Outside of that, the album is kinda whatever with patches of decent.
- Covet is the exact mid-point of this entire list because it is really well-played music that is pleasant to listen to and leaves me feeling nothing. Top tier background music, Weather Channel Prog…it serves its purpose.
- I really wasn't sure what to make of that Dessa album. I feel like it could grow or sour on me with subsequent listens, but I just don't have time to hear it again.
- Ice Spice is the second project to escape the underworld of the Worst List like Orpheus. I was way too cruel to it in my initial review. And the expanded edition fleshes out the project to something approaching complete, so that helps too. It's still ultimately not for me, but I can fuck with it if I'm in the right mood.
- I glanced through the alternate mix of Jethro Tull's RokFlote and can't help but think maybe I should've upgraded this to Pretty Good, but alas I didn't have time to hear the whole thing.
- Kelela's Raven is front loaded as fuck. At the halfway point, you feel like "All right, that was pretty decent. I dug that project…" and then you realize there's more than a half hour left and it's the same thing over again. That first half is pretty damn good, if not quite great (you gotta be in the mood for it) but unless you're really feeling it, you can hit stop halfway through the tracklist and miss nothing.
- I should've probably put Macklemore in Meh, but eh. I kinda feel bad since this album has been savaged by critics and is about #8 on a lot of Worst lists (which, yeah fair; there's some super whack shit on here). The back half almost saves it, but not really.
- I like Double Album way more than I should. And given it baaarely makes "Okay", that should tell you something. (But I still had some amount of fun listening to it.)
- Sleep Token is one of the most polarizing releases of the year. I originally couldn't stand it. I went in to the Worst list dreading it. Then I realized I was six tracks in and was still waiting for it to suck. I came around on this one pretty hard, but because my opinion was so low in the first place, it winds up here in the middle. The album does drag; it has no business being over 50 minutes, we get the idea. But I wouldn't mind a band like Paradise Lost taking a cue from this; it sort of has some of that flavor. (I'm just worried about all the copycats that'll spring up in its wake, though; I'm really worried VOLA heard this and took copious notes…)
- Teezo Touchdown is far more interesting than good, but I eagerly await what he'll do next. Still worth a listen and a think.
- I have no real meter with which to gauge classical music, so Thomas Bangaltier goes in Okay.
- Utopia was the fourth Worst List last-minute rescue. I've been all over the place on how I feel with this one. First listen I thought it might be an Honorable Mention. Second listen, I couldn't fathom what I'd ever heard in it to like. Third listen…huh. This is Okay after all. But man is this album bloated and messy. Cut 25 minutes of filler (and a few bad ideas) and this coulda been a motherfucker.
- Probably not the smartest entry point to get into Tygers Of Pan Tang, since their heyday was around the time Regan was running for president (and I don't know if they have any original members left), but here we are. It was fine.
- The WAEVE lives up to its name. There are some stunning tracks with a bed of chamber music and lofi electronics immediately followed up with apathetic, whiny, slacker indie bullshit with a guy who either can't sing a lick or can't be bothered to. It's a frustrating up and down that I hope they figure out how to balance for the next one, because I would rather love this than be ambivalent on it.
- Something tells me Warren G didn't have anything to actually do with the lofi album, but it's decent for what it is.
- Wild Nothing was a disappointment. There's enough decent songs to merit an Okay, but most of it is forgettable. Not the follow-up to my #1 Release of 2020's Laughing Gas I was looking for.
- I know I shouldn't like Yameii Online, but for some reason I get a kick out of it. It's a vocaloid trying to do lofi trap and given the accent and the basic shit they're saying, there's no realness to it (and then factor in that, y'know, it's not even a person?). I think that's what's so amusing; it's so fake it comes out the other side of the uncanny valley and works again. I especially recommend listening in winter weather.

- I cooled considerably on the Genesis Owusu album. I really thought that'd hit the Top 20. It's still good, probably the benchmark with which to judge to border between "Prretty Good" and "Honorable Mentions", has two banger-ass songs with "Leaving The Light" and "Tied Up!", but I dunno. Couldn't quite drum up as much enthusiasm as I did when I first heard it.
- The Gretchen Parlato / Louis Loueke project is our winner in the "Get Out Of the Worst List" sweepstakes. Congratulations! First couple of listens I didn't make it very far because the first two tracks use some really squicky mouth noises as percussion, but if you can get past that, the rest of the album is some nice, vibey vocal jazz.
- This is the first time I've ever sat down and listened to a John Mellencamp album. Guy's in his 70s and his voice is an ancient gravel pit, but man does he know how to make that work.

- For an album recorded in 2004 and shelved til now, Born Again is far better than it had any right to be. A great follow-up to the decent 2003 debut, and it's a shame Jemini went away after this.
- Gag Order would be #21. That was a cut I didn't want to have to make. She just pours herself out into this one.
- Lil Yachti A) Making a psych rock album, B) It being good and C) It holding up to repeat listens throughout the year is a trifecta of things I did not expect whatsoever. Pleasant surprise!
20. Spanish Love Songs “No Joy”
Okay, I get why people love this band now. The lyrics are simultaneously universal enough for anybody to empathize with, yet are packed with such levels of specific detail you feel like it's a concept album (which it kinda is). The music itself was pretty good, but what made the album click for me was a point where I realized the singer had switched perspectives from the POV character to a different one the POV character had been talking to, and then the rest of the album plays out from their eyes instead. That switch sold me on this.
19. Little Simz "No Thank You"
Technically a late 2022 album, but I usually put anything released after November 30th into the next eligible year (which is why Peter Gabriel will count as a 2024 album). Little Simz uses a more scaled back approach than the 2021 Best Of List-Topping Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, but if she's gonna release another album this quickly (like 15 months apart) that was probably the right approach. Then again, the centerpiece "Broken" is a seven minute song powered by a choir, so maybe not as scaled back as I'm letting on. Either way, Simz still has it.
18. Genevive Artadi "Forever Forever"
Weirdo ethereal electo jazz fusion shit with cool singing. Why wouldn't this make my list?
17. 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne “Welcome 2 Collegrove”
If I would've told 2006 Me that Lil Wayne would be on one of my best lists on an album that features 50 Cent on a bunch of skits, I would've punched me because I would've thought I was an imposter from the Hell Dimension.
I had a lot of fun with this one. It's a no stakes, no frills rap-duo album. Sounds like Tity Boi (2 Chainz's original rap name) and Toonchi were having fun making it. Blanket content warning for mildly problematic material, but if you're gonna listen to a Lil Wayne project, this is nowhere near his most offensive.
A theme running through a handful of these Top 20 entries is "the second (or third) best album this band has ever done". Say hello to my second favorite Foo Fighters album. I've never been a huge Foo fan, but I always liked their self-titled debut. From there they had songs, but I think the only project of theirs I liked back to front was the Saint Celia EP in 2015 (and only kinda). They were just never my bag. So for them this late in their run to put out an album that not only makes my Top 20 but lands the #4 song on my Best list, they had to do something special. There's an energy they haven't had in at least a decade, their chord choices are way less stock and the through line of loss, reminiscence, grief and healing are all in sharp focus. A fitting tribute to Dave's mom and Taylor Hawkins. Rock on.
15. Mutoid Man "Mutants"
The department of smashing face and blistering guitar licks is open for business. If Petro Dragonic Apocalypse was too long-winded for you, here's the leaner, meaner version.
14. Elle King “Come Get Your Wife”
Yes, even I was unable to escape the ubiquity of Country unscathed. At least this is an artist I was already into that pivoted, I guess. The Country part isn't what drew me into this project though, it's what Elle King and her irrepressible personality do with it.
13. Ben Folds “What Matters Most”
Probably his third best behind Lonely Avenue (2010) and Whatever And Ever Amen (1997). The eight year break seems to have rejuvenated Folds's songwriting and his lyrics are as sharp as ever, with stories of personal foibles and faux pas mixed in with reflections on the crazy world we live in today. If you're already a Ben Folds fan, I highly recommend it; if you're new, it's not the worst place to jump in.
12. The New Pornographers "Continue As A Guest"
Their best album since Brill Bruisers. I've been waiting for them to get back out of 2nd gear and into the race again for almost a decade and here they are. It's not like Whiteout Conditions or…uh, the one from 2019 were bad, but they weren't hitting very hard either. Now I didn't expect Continue As A Guest to top Brill Bruisers; that's probably in my top 100 of all time. Not much touchin' that. But Continue As A Guest overachieves as a New Pornographer's album. I'd put it second in their catalog, and there ain't no shame in that.
11. Ava Max “Diamonds & Dancefloors”
What? I never said I had good taste. It gets even more embarrassing in the top 10, so fasten your seatbelts.
The vibes are immaculate with this one. Downtempo indie R&B with a dash of bubble grunge thrown in to make the edges crispy. Add on top of that Arlo's soothing, passionate voice and you've got a wonderful souffle.
Another great thing is the lyrical detail. Here's a half-verse from the closer "Ghost":
"Between the sheets of rhododendron and sky
I cast my mind across the day you said you'd always be there
I pushed a curl of hair away from your eye
And said, 'It's sweet of you to lie' "
Fuckin' BARS.
It's an album that's sweet and sad, chill mostly but occasionally anthemic. It's really cool she seems to be getting recognition for this one. I'd like to see Arlo Parks pop the fuck off.
9. Mega Bog "End Of Everything"
If Laurie Anderson did a collab album with early 80's Siouxsie and the Banshees and they decided to go more synth pop. That's it, that's the tweet.
8. Mori Calliope “Jigoku 6”
I'm willing to gather most of you reading this don't know who or what Demondice is, so let me fill you in: At the beginning of the year, I was watching a [HREF] Brad Taste In Music video[HREF] where he reacted to/suffered through the entire Demondice discography. And lemme tellya, I needed the laugh. I couldn't breathe at how bad their early projects were. Truly some of the most dogshit rap music I'd ever heard.
So when I listened to their VTuber alter-ego's EP this year, I was not expecting it to knock my socks off. But y'know what?
Is it music I'd be caught dead listening to? Sure, but only because I'm terrified of death (which is ironic given Mori's schtick is she's Death's intern or something; I only know a sprinkling about the lore). This is the guiltiest of guilty pleasures on the countdown because OOO it's criiinge. But it's also…kind of charming?
It starts of with a techno swing thrash metal rap song. It's as messy as it sounds. Then there's a Japanese rap song that was used in One Piece (?) (which is very much kid's music). "Black Sheep" is drum & bass rock, "six feet under" starts with some math rock, Covet-style instru-metal guitar and morphs into an inverse Evanesence song with every verse a rap verse and a soaring chorus with music that sounds like it's being played down the hall. "You're Not Special" is a goddam mess of New Orleans bounce (rapped over by the whitest girl you know) and a weird electro swing metal chorus, then it all closes with a five minute downtempo thing (of course with more Japanese rap in the bridge).
I'm not gonna defend it; I'm not gonna recommend it, but fuck it. I love this stupid EP. It rips.
7. Vylet Pony "Carousel (An Examination Of The Shadow, Creekflow, And Its Life As An Afterthought)"
I've never watched My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I also have no idea about the ongoing lore of this artist's O.C. world build by their albums in said franchise's universe. I do, however, follow a YouTube channel called CawCophony and they've sung this artist's praises in the past. It was their reviews that made me check out Vylet Pony and daiyum.
Take a mix of early 2000's PS2 music, mix it with dubstep, hyperpop, add a little bit of new jack swing and even a pinch of metal, put some mystical sounding harmonies over the top (backed by indie/emo harshness) and you have an album that honestly should repel me on paper, but I'm bopping along to whenever I listen to it. It's the genuine nature of the music and the lyrics I think that gets to me; Vylet Pony is deliberate in what they want to do and they're doing it because they feel it. It's an openness with art I hope to get back to someday.
6. 100 Gecs "10,000 Gecs"
Now that I'm innoculated against the abrasiveness of hyperpop autotune (and that 100 Gecs were kind enough to put out "Doritios & Fritos", a song that didn't hit you with that front and center), I'm on board the Gec train. That wasn't easy; I was willing to accept this shit wasn't for me…at ALL, but largely thanks to Left At London's T.I.A.P.F.Y.H. (2021), I've figured out how to understand an appreciate hyperpop levels of autotune.
Just in time for Gecs to throw in Nu Metal and Ska.
They kinda needed to; by the time they put this out the first hyperpop wave had crested and receded. This album still has elements of that, but the gaps are filled in with Ska, Nu Metal and madcap (seeming) randomness. Normally a messy album is just messy and an album where the artist gives off a detached aire of "Whatever" is a recipe for disaster, doubly-so for an album as frenzied. But this group took a class in wielding chaos because everything falls into place. Without the whackadoo spark of 100 Gecs, a project like this would disintegrate. Go in expecting a dumb, fun time and come out changed.
5. Knower "Knower Forever"
Jazz fusion friends freakin' out in a hallway together and putting out the (mostly) rough recordings to great acclaim. The production is a little weird because this is an idea that started on YouTube in 2017 and came back around now, but if you can get past that, this is a great, funky, oddball fusion jam with beautiful singing from out #18 entrant Genevive Artadi.
4. Paramore “This Is Why”
Paramore have a quietly chameleonic catalog: Each of their albums is different from the last (some more than others) and they stick the landing every time. I love the angular playing, the weird chord choices and the precision drumming on display here. And of course, Hayley Williams soaring above it all as usual. It's also the perfect length: short enough to leave you wanting more but long enough to feel complete. There's a damn good reason this made a lot of "Best Of" lists.
3. Caroline Polachek “Desire I Want To Turn Into You”
Ditto this one. Not only is Caroline Polachek's voice a finely tuned instrument, she is a virtuoso player. I've heard people call this album futuristic, but I'd argue it's 90's as hell. She is adept at the old ways and knows how to marshall them to fresh new purposes. There are parts that remind me of Afro Celt Sound System, of trip hop, of her guest star Dido and of course the obvious comparison: Imogen Heap. I joked about Caroline Polachek being the "Imogen Heap we have at home" but I take that back. They share DNA, but she's doing something different and worthy of its own field. I hope Caroline keeps that field fertile with new magical seeds for years to come.
2. Victoria Monet "Jaguar II"
With me it's always too little, too late for Victoria Monet. I first heard Jaguar (Pt 1) a year after it came out and instantly knew it would've been my #1 album for 2020 had I known it existed. Now, after knowing Jaguar II was an album of the year contender, I didn't go back to it until after I'd done the songs list. "How Does It Make You Feel" would have been a Top 10 Song easy, but because I hadn't heard Jaguar II in months, I forgot it existed. That's a big ol' L for me.
This album is a lights off, close your eyes and viiibe type of affair. It sets the mood perfectly. (There's other things you can do with this album, a partner and a dark room if you catch my drift.) The best R&B album I've heard in a minute; it deserves all the Grammys it's nominated for.
1. Jpegmafia & Danny Brown “Scaring The Hoes”
For awhile I didn't have a clue what would be number one, but I didn't think it'd be this; I played the shit out of Scaring The Hoes and got pretty burnt out on it by mid-year. Then I listened to it this week and from JUMP I knew it could never have been anything else.
It's somehow a great back and forth rap-fest, yet the beat selection is a near complete deconstruction of the genre. There's probably wilder shit people have rapped over, but this is two top-tier creatives mastering that chaos and sculpting it to a cohesive whole. Just listen to any one of the beats and think to yourself Okay, how the fuck are they gonna rap over this? And then they do it and it all makes sense and OOOOOhhhhhh.gif.
In a bigger field of albums than I've ever had to tackle, this one stood out the most. It deserves top prize.
Finally, FINALLY got this one done and dusted. Listening to 225 albums was more music than I could really process. It'll be nice to take a b…what's that? It's February next week?
Oh God. MWE.
The thing where I (and thousands of others) listen to an album we've never heard of each day of the month and review it in a single tweet.
And now, because my dumb ass A) Left Twitter, B) Have Mastodon and Bluesky accounts instead, and C) Amassed a giant backlog of music, I decided to do DOUBLE MWE.
Whelp.
NOTHIN' TO IT BUT TO DO IT!!!
If you want to follow my musical misadventures, I'll be reviewing two different sets of 29 albums (I realized just as I was typing this it was a leap year; oh joy), so check my socials if you want to see a new review each day. (I still have five Bluesky codes if anybody wants one.) My next blog will be collecting (and expanding) these reviews, just like I've done for the last three years. I start looking forward to doing this and planning in like August; it's a fun challenge. And I get to listen to more music! What's not to love?
So until then, stay safe, stay sane and let's band together to make the world a better place. If we keep swinging, this shit'll turn around sometime.
You never know…
