And the artwork and hairdo is getting a bit intense this album cycle, I give you that.

With my GBV obsession taking up the first 5 months of this year, I was unsure I'd be contributing much this year. But, according to an Excel file I use to keep track of albums I've heard at least once from 2019, I've listened to 73 albums this year. Spent the last couple of weeks revisiting a lot of stuff and I think I should be able to deliver a Top 50 albums of 2019.

I don't have that perception, because I'm seeing Angel Olsen on every list

I found this cool web that keeps a count of the lists, more than the total for me the nice part is the topX appearances for each one: www.albumoftheyear.org/list/summary/2019/

Yeah, this is a great website in general, i check it most Fridays (album release day) as they catalog shitloads of albums released.

Given practically everyone has them now, it's hard to differentiate what is/isn't on the album.
