MCCh 2022 (13) July 31

Post by Otisredding »

The best albums of 2022 (update July 31)

The numbers presented next to each album title are the weighted average rating, and, in brackets, average and number of ratings (out of 33 included sources). The weighted average is based on a formula that includes a) the average of ratings and b) the number of sources that have rated the album.

The magazines I used for the ratings were:
EUR + Australia: Dansende Beren; Gaffa-dk; Gaffa-sw; Humo; Indiestyle; Jenesaispop; Laut; Mondosonoro; Musikexpress; Nojesguiden; Ondarock; Plattentests; Sentire Ascoltare; The Music
UK: Clash; DIY; God Is In The Tv; Load And Quiet; Music OMH; NME; The Guardian; The Line Of Best Fit; The Skinny
USA + Canada: Allmusic; Beats Per Minute; Consequence Of Sound; Exclaim!; Nothern Transmissions; Paste; Pitchfork; Popmatters; Rolling Stone; Spectrum Culture; Under The Radar

Highlights: Rob makes the top three songs from the album according to Allmusic, Consequence of Sound, Jenesaispop, Plattentests, The Skinny, etc…

Big Thief is 4th and Angel Olsen is 5th, you can see both Angel Olsen's and Rosalia's albums have mistakenly the same ranking.

With 8 new entries this update is particularly massive, although the week extra of waiting might have something to do with it. Consequently, that would mean next update would be small, unless this very week turns out to get a lot of highly reviewed releases. Anyway, here is the playlist:



I'm kind of surprised that Lizzo isn't even ranking in the below-the-line entries. I know her new one didn't get as much praise as the previous one, but it still seemed well-regarded.
