Album of the Year 2021

Continuing the trend of listening to more new music, but without a daily commute, more thinly. There’s been a lot of albums I added to my ‘interesting list’. But many have only had the odd listen. This year’s list is dominated by the 80s post-punk sound. But there’s only been a few albums I’ve gone back to time and time again. So like last year, I’ve picked my top five most listened to albums and then the reset are unordered.
