This is actually a single-writer (not sure you could call him a critic) list by Riccardo Zagaglia. The way SA posts their EOY album list is always extremely confusing, in any case.

It the announcement article they said that he curated lists only.
It says somewhere it the text all albums with 7 votes or more, so i guess it is not his list only.
95 albums for one critic seems too much, and furthermore here are movies, concerts and books as well.
He is hardly expert for everything.

Well, in any case, it doesn't seem like this is Sentire's official EOY list. Unless Zagaglia's list is actually aggregated from SA's staff writers themselves. Is there any indication of that?

This should be the Redazione (8 people) aggregate list. There are 117 albums in total, and the last album
on the list (Ed Sheeran) is rated 3.7 only, so it probably included all reviewed albums in 2017.

Top 30 Redazione:

1. Visible Cloaks - Reassemble
2. Vince Staples - Big Fish Theory
3. King Krule - The OOZ
4. Kelela – Take Me Apart
5. Jlin - Black Origami
6. Godflesh - Post Self
7. Stormzy - Gang Signs & Prayer
8. Kendrick Lamar - Damn.
9. In Zaire - Visions Of The Age To Come
10. Caterina Barbieri - Patterns Of Consciousness
11. Bibio - Phantom Brickworks
12. Forest Swords – Compassion
13. Cesare Basile - U Fujutu su nesci chi fa?
14. Robyn Hitchcock - Robyn Hitchcock
15. Richard Dawson - Peasant
16. Arca - Arca
17. Mara Redeghieri - Recidiva
18. Mount Kimbie - Love What Survives
19. Tyler the Creator - Flower Boy
20. Dopplereffekt - Cellular Automata
21. Mr. Mitch - Devout
22. Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - The Kid
23. Ibeyi – Ash
24. Binker & Moses - Journey To The Mountain Of Forever
25. Björk - Utopia
26. Father John Misty - Pure Comedy
27. Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins
28. Ryuichi Sakamoto - async
29. Actress - AZD
30. The Magnetic Fields - 50 Song Memoir

However, they do have another Staff (28 people, Redazione not included) list with 247 albums in total, and Ed Sheeran is at the
bottom again with rating 4.

This site is so confusing. Always, always is. Just make a goddamn list, you know?

Last year I only included the top 10 from the "Staff" list, because that's what was "officially" noted at the bottom of their year-in-review summary article. It looks like I should include this unranked "essential 100" list for 2017. Henrik, what do you think?

I really have no idea, or well, no better suggestion...

To quote the funniest TV moment of 2017 (a frustrated Dustin to Mike's father, in STRANGER THINGS 2): "Son of a bitch - you're no help at all, you know that?" :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I think I'll enter the top 30 from the staff list, as posted above. That seems reasonable. I probably should have done that last year as well - I think I was a little burned out on the spreadsheet at that point.

Since the Redazione is not included in Staff list, maybe (just maybe) the better option would be compilation of
Staff and Redazione list (43 albums combined).
