MY TOP 20 FOR OCTOBER 2021

There are months and there are months like October 2021 when 400+ new releases dropped by. I personally shortlisted 61 (sixty-one) albums in order to prepare my monthly top list. I had to leave out very good to excellent stuff so to squeeze it into a 20-list. I'm sure many will notice the absence of great bands and albums. The abundance was overwhelming to the extent of massive fatigue! Really, if bands or musicians who are trying to break through, and are reading this pathetic publication, should very carefully consider when and how to release their music. The audience is expecting big bands and long-waited albums, so no matter how good is and UG band performing, its album is more likely to drown in instead of being recognized...

Saying all the above, I tried damn hard to narrow it down to twenty-list here... No honorable mentions this time or another 40 albums would have appeared. They are all in my notebook so who knows - some might become more favorable with time and progress to the AOTY list.

I'm sure everybody enjoys different stuff, but in my opinion, this is the creme de la creme for the past month. Every album does matter here.
