20 Outstanding 2023 Albums I Totally Missed

20 Kick Ass 2023 Albums I Totally Missed

Between Quarterly Reports (Jan-Mar, Apr-June, July-Sept, Oct-Dec), Top 20 Albums of the Year, and More Essential Albums, I featured 100 different albums in 2023. Although I’m constantly scanning social media, streaming platforms, and the best heavy music sites, a lot of amazing albums still manage to slip through the cracks each year. A few of these were released in December, and fell victim to the end-of-year black hole, but others I just outright missed when they were released. If you didn’t get enough music through my other 2023 roundups, here’s one more look back at the year, with twenty more albums, in no particular order, I discovered late that should definitely be added to your playlists.
