Albums of the Month

I review a lot of albums each month, so it seems fair to pick out the best of them for special notice.

The Albums of the Month section lists my top pick for each month of the year. Each month's section lists my top two picks and anything else to which I gave at least an 8/10. Only 2021 releases qualify on this page.

Each cover links to my review of that album.

There's also a simple Highly Recommended List of everything to which I gave an 8/10 or higher.
