The Freshman 15: 2016's Best Debut Albums
We are still a week away from our final, overall list of 2016's best albums, but our best of 2016 coverage continues now with a look at the year's top newcomers.
Below is our list of the 15 best-reviewed debut albums of 2016, ranked by Metascore. Note that albums must have at least 7 reviews—and be a full LP, rather than an EP—to be eligible for inclusion. Albums are ranked by Metascore prior to rounding.
(Domino) New Yorker Joe Williams (also a member of Lifted) is the sole member of this hard-to-Google experimental electronica project. Williams created "custom randomized software instruments" for this classical- and jazz- influenced debut that also draws from the sounds of modern technology.
