"Our editor's list of the decade's 200 best albums..."

Interesting. Is this the first time Allmusic compiles such decade end list?

They don't seem to have a list for the 00s overall. Their staff did upload a series of retrospective annual reviews a while ago, going all the way back to the 50s. You can still find it as part of the 'AllMusic Loves...' series here.

The 'Album of the Year' article concept is something I feel AllMusic were slow to get into but they have been getting much better at it. For example, take their article for 2011 and compare it to their review for 2018.

Actually one of the best overviews of the musical variety of the decade. My main gripe with most lists up til now is the tunnel vision, while more than perhaps any other decade the 2010's feel like they were about diversity and variety.

Totally agree. The variety on this list is outstanding, and the fact that it's unranked allows you to appreciate it more.
