    I'm stunned by people with enormous lists or who say things like "any of my top 10 could be my AOTY." How do you love so many things and why do I hate so many things? I've listened to, in part or in full, literally hundreds of albums this year, and there's like 30 total that I can comfortably say I even liked, nevermind loved.

    I feel you. I have a list of 30 because I actually liked all of those, but I also didn't really have to cut any albums to get to 30. I did not listen to hundreds though.

    I think I'll probably have a list of 30 I really liked and around 10 I love. Not really been truly blown away by anything this year the way I used to be though.

    Similar. I was looking at my list for last year and I think there are eight or nine albums that would be top of the pile for me if they'd come out this year.

    I have maybe four that could be my number one rn, but a ton of albums that I really enjoyed. Why are you listening to so many albums you hate? If I’m not feeling it by the second song I usually find something else.

    inwas thinking about this too…is it bc I am older so it’s harder to fall in love w new music? Like that Turnstile album I’d probably love if I were in college but now in my 30s i can enjoy it but I don’t hear anything from it that separates it from other ‘good’ punk albums that would make it ‘great’

    That’s definitely a part of it, I often think “I feel like I have heard this before, but better" :crylaugh:

    I used to do a top 50. Then scaled down to top 40. Now I just focus really specifically on narrowing it down to 30 and getting everything into an order that reflects the music year I had. It's not necessarily a reflection of loving less music each year; I've just found the EOTY list time feels more celebratory to me when I'm a little more selective with the albums I'm recognizing.

    Not big on this Dry Cleaning album that has been popping up on lists
     
  21. I really wanted to like that record, but ultimately just couldn’t hang. The idea is cool in theory but the execution wasn’t there

    The phrase "in part" was doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
