The 20 Best Albums of 2021 So Far
Which albums have impressed critics the most during the first half of the year? Above, we rank the best-reviewed LPs released between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021 by Metascore. Albums must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible, and resissues, EPs, live albums, and compilations are excluded.
Released just a week ago, the Grammy-winning, L.A.-based rapper's highest-scoring album to date includes collaborations with Pharrell, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla Sign, and Lil Wayne. Critics think the genre-blending, elaborately produced album confirms Tyler as one of the best hip hop artists working today.
“Tyler has delivered a project that yet again pushes the boundaries of his music while simultaneously being a culmination of everything that he's done so far. It's yet another impressive outing for an artist whose reign doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon.” —Exclaim
