Welcome to May 2022. It is at this time that I, WillQ, have completed listening to all the albums that seemed interesting from 2021, and am ready to deliver a ranking.
Why do it now, and not in December like everyone else? Well, for one, I was always a big believer in waiting until the year actually ends so that I don’t have to awkwardly treat the releases that come out after my ranking as next year’s. Secondly, as an independent music ranking maker, I like to rely on the hard work of professionals - i.e. check out all the big outlets’ end of year lists and select some albums to listen to from them. Ok but how many records could I possibly have needed to check out? Well...
