The Best Albums of 2021
Below, you'll find an unranked list of 50 glorious albums that we felt were among the best to come out in 2021. Selected and written by members of the VMP team, we feel deeply lucky to have titles from this collection accompany each of us on our ever-winding journeys through 2021. We hope these...

There they go again with their monochromatic unsolicited alteration of artists' cover art that is a complete affront to good taste. And a fucking eyesore.

Q4 Update
Total 2021 releases (albums/EPs/mixtapes) listened to as of December 13th:149 318 422 524
Wrapping up the year with some quality releases, although not as numerous in quantity. Currently shutting out any 2021 releases I haven't gotten around to for the remainder of this year while reevaluating my favorites and the "fringe" candidates for my top50. The top50 chart (and some other goodies) will be posted on the 2021 Megalist thread in the coming days.
Would love to see more people use a chartmaker for visual, rather than lines of text. The chart below was created using Ostrakon, which works on mobile as well.
Ordering is in alphabetical band name/artist last name.
EDIT: Can't believe I had the wrong date from earlier lol
