Many music blogs/websites, big and small, have already posted
their end-of-the-year lists (best song/album/concert/video etc).

PITCHFORK has 2 different lists: Best Rock Album and Best Overall Album.

Best Rock Album: ‘Bleeds’ by WEDNESDAY (Denver, US)

“Bleeds’ squall isn’t its only show of force: In the album’s quieter moments, just when
you think the dust has settled, Hartzman expertly unveils the detail that knifes you in
the gut.”

Best Overall Album: Self-titled LP by LOS THUTHANAKA (Bolivian American)

“It starts with a bang. Then a barrage of DJ tags, sampled vocals, and drum rolls carry
us into a sea of ambience. This is the Los Thuthanaka experience in summary: ceremonial but swaggy, cataclysmic but healing, unrefined but magnificent.”
