Ewan Chaos's Best of 2021! | Albums 5-1 + Songs 10-1


Ewan Chaos

Recommended Posts

Hello lovelies! Can you believe I've been on ATRL for 10 years as of November?! WHAT. And doing Best Ofs for like 7 of those years.

 

It's the most wonderful time of year: Best Of season! I'm so excited to see what you all enjoyed this year, and to see what I missed so that I can find some new amazing music.

 

I'm excited to reveal that I'm building on my sellout era from 2020 and doing not only a full ranked EP and album list like last year, but also a full song ranking this year. God it fucking sucked doing LMAO.

 

Here's the lineup:

  • Worst 10 Albums of 2021
  • Best 10 EPs of 2021 (with honorable mentions)
  • Best 100 Songs of 2021 (only one song per artist!)
  • Best 50 Albums of 2021 (with honorable mentions)

 

In addition, I will probably also list out my full ordered ranking of EPs and albums all in a chart, similar to last year. Absolutely not doing that for songs tho. We'll be starting with the worst albums, then the best EPs, then songs and albums will run concurrently.

 

See you all tomorrow. Maybe. Hopefully. If not then definitely Sunday. BYEEEEEEE!
