To be clear: these are not the absolute worst albums of the year. If that were the case, it’d be stacked with YUNGBLUD and Machine Gun Kelly and Jack Harlow, the apotheosis of dreck. Rather, these are the ones that were lauded and salivated over, receiving critical and commercial praise, while being antithetical to compelling art. There are even artists on here that I like, that have released albums unfortunately untenable for repeated listening. But by and large, what this list contains is objectionable music. Stuff that actively solicits good taste yet is so far removed from it there might as well be radiation warnings around them. I’m tired of these records; they deserve less.
