Kinda shocking that RTJ4, Ohms and folklore are missing despite getting excellent score from them :o

Isn't it too early to release EOY lists already?

A few notes:
- Bob Dylan at Number 1 is a rather safe choice, but I can't say I disagree. I like the album quite a lot. Fleet Foxes however was a disappointment to me.
- I agree with Bridgers over Apple, but not with Marling this high.
- They probably only included one album per artist, otherwise I couldn't explain why they have The New OK at 4, but no The Unraveling (I don't know which one I prefer yet, I've only listened to The New OK once).
- The highest-ranked album I haven't listened to is Sault's Untitled. I should get on that...
- Overall I think the list shows a nice variety of genres and artists, even if it is very Anglo-American-centric. I'm especially happy about the inclusion of Keeley Forsyth, Tamikrest and Hen Ogledd, especially since I wasn't expecting to see the latter on any EOY lists.

Glad to see Fontaine’s D.C. so high!

Yeah I am a bit shocked about RTJ4 being snubbed from the list however I was pleasantly surprised that Folklore didn't make it. I feel like that is one of the most overhyped albums of the year.

Yeah I don't mind Dylan being at Number 1 even though I may put it in the teens. I am so happy about Bridgers being so high and I didn't enjoy the Fiona Apple album so I don't mind it's placement.
