words by Ethan Cardinal

As 2016 draws to its inevitable finish, the recent releases of music throughout this year has made it near impossible to create a TOP 10 ALBUMS of 2016 list. However, while each individual artists or bands alike are worthy of recognition for persistence and creation of something worthy of appraisal, I’ve narrowed down the top 10 albums worthy of consideration for years to come. I’ve chosen these specific albums for different reasons in the hopes that it broadens the ears of those who are listening.

Heaps of love for everyone who made it on this list, and for making 2016 one of the best years for music I’ve ever been apart of. Hopefully this won’t be the last!
