As said up top, this was largely done on vibes, and I've moaned about doing this a lot on recent posts. It was fun though to revisit a lot of good music. We live in a society where content is easily disposable. On top of that, we have access to so much music. Whenever I do a top 20 of a year, I know there is a chance there are stacks of albums I don't have time to listen to, and one of them could have made those and subsequently this list. For that reason, this is why this list has to be based on vibes and not science. I could have spent another year producing this list and maybe come out some with something different. I'm not going to though!
Until next time, which for this particular task, will be never! The next one will be a lot less intensive in terms of time consumption.
