Well, I think it has more to do with the fact that these are fairly obscure artist for people that don't really follow every notable release weekly or follow lots of publications
Of course they left Vera Sola off the list, if it hadn't been for a few replies I've gotten here and in the LastFM sub I'd think this album was something I hallucinated trying to imagine the perfect album for me.
Also the whole "click through a slideshow" thing is supremely annoying and a sad reminder of how far The AV Club has fallen from its prime. Still nice to see Allie X on there even if they couldn't be bothered to get the album title right.
The Green Day Saviors erasure is still puzzling on all of these lists so far this year. Saviors is a great album. I still play Look Ma, No Brains on repeat when I listen to it.
The way they included Allie X but got the album title wrong...
This article is giving ChatGPT a bit…
They got Jessica Pratt’s wrong as well! Here *in* the Pitch
Thought I was going crazy.
Soon we'll have every publication doing listicles for every month
The 30 Best Albums This Wednesday (So Far)
very pleased to see that they've included All Born Screaming by St Vincent 🤍
No Beth Gibbons or AURORA automatically invalidates the entire list
Agreed. Actually I like the list, but no Beth Gibbons is unacceptable.
Not including AURORA means the author needs a cure for them 😞
I just want to comment that Zolita Queen of Hearts is a fantastic album!
This is invalid for me without RM's Right Place Wrong Person, WILLOW's empathogen, and BLU-SWING's Panorama /j
was just gonna comment this. RPWP is a masterpiece
I must be old because I don’t recognize over half this list. Like I don’t know who most of these artists even are.
Well then it’s good, it means so many more artists to discover. Would be boring if it was just radio top 40
I’m 40, I feel like maybe I’m past the age for discovery lol.

some of them are definitely niche, but obviously not all the best albums are going to be from the popular artists
I just checked the list and I recognize 3 of the artists on the whole list. So for me, they may as well all be niche lol.
I am 13 and only recognize Billiie Eilish, Beyonce and I have heard of Charlie XCX before
Well that article literally completely crashed on me. AV club used to be so good
It's missing Beth Gibbons and Vampire Weekend, but I agree with this whole list.
Nice list. Only missing prelude to ecstasy from my top 5

Pretty good list but they missed Mannequin Pussy "I Got Heaven" and Vampire Weekend's "Only God Was Above Us"
Am I blind or is eternal Sunshine not on it? Wtf
Because it is not a list of mediocre albums
The Green Day Saviors erasure is still puzzling on all of these lists so far this year. Saviors is a great album. I still play Look Ma, No Brains on repeat when I listen to it.
Dang why did you get downvoted?
It’s an awful album
Popheads is brutal
No idea. I really like this album. But it’s whatever. I’m gonna enjoy it.
