The Best Albums of 2019

Best-Albums-of-2019-Beyond-The-Watch.jpg

HOLY SHIT that's a wrap.

An insane amount of incredible music dropped in the last decade and 2019 was filled with some of the best in recent years.

This is my most eclectic year-end list yet. From Bring Me The Horizon's genre-defying release Amo to Sigrid's knockout album Sucker Punch, it's been a stellar 12 months. My usual content would have you assume the list leans more toward the emo, punk and metal genres. But my Spotify Top Songs of 2019 says otherwise. (Sandy) Alex G and Harry Styles are too damn good.

There's no method to the mayhem and no numbered list highlighting my number one release of the year. These 50 albums are all my number ones depending on the day. Open yourself up to something new like I have this past year. Get your fix below and Happy New Year peeps.
