If my mid-year list was any indication, this was the first year (in which I can remember) where I really struggled to connect with albums. Granted, my time for consuming an album from front to back has definitely dwindled, therefore I probably have not given the nearly 400 albums documented in my Google Sheet the proper amount of listens. That being said, here are 25 albums that did catch my attention, as well as a playlist of some of my favorites songs.
