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.
The London indie rockers followed their 2018 Mercury Prize-winning album Visions of a Life with this third album in June, receiving their best reviews to date in the process. Blue Weekend finds them working with producer Markus Dravs for the first time.
“Blue Weekend is Wolf Alice’s best work yet – a confident, euphoric, blistering 40 minutes that’s guaranteed to be on many people’s ‘best of’ lists at the end of the year.” —musicOMH
