Best Music of 2021

Sorry for this being quite late, but here's finally my subjectively picked favorite 38 albums of Q3. As usual I've included the last release week of Q2 and excluded the last Friday of Q3. A lot of great albums had been released, and there are many still pretty good albums that didn't make my cut. They`re ranked according to what I like most, but of course this is due to change later on. :)

If any one of you want a download code for Ducks Ltd's Get Bleak EP, I have an extra.

There was one with the record and I already got one from purchasing via bandcamp.

They should have just included the EP with the LP. The LP is so short I have a feeling I will be listening to them a lot together. Both are great though. All killer, no filler.
