Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[idunnowhattonamemyself-vrqv]

Lana really did a 180 going from getting 2s and 3s to being top 3 albums of the year

[LilGhstGirl]

I’ve been a fan of Jeff since the BTMI days and hell mode has been the album that truly resonated with me the most this year

[dfkdb]

I was shocked when you placed [generally poorly received album] in the #1 spot!

[FelixPhillis]

seeing Genesis Owusu so high is AMAZING

he is one of the best rising artists coming out of Australia, he such a slept on artist and deserves recognition for his amazing tunes

throws awesome live shows too

[Mark.mp]

I love seeing Sampha’s big comeback album so high in the ranking 🥹🥹

[fergie_]

Never expected to see Jeff Rosenstock at number 1, this is so awesome! I dont understand how you left it off your best singles video, but oh well

[supxrkicks]

so happy to see underscores not only make the list, but to place really highly on it as well. one of my favourite albums that came out this year as well

[gerhardpfeiffer]

Jeff is the number one at your list of best album from 2023. That makes me really happy. I really love this album. It feels like a christmas present. Thanks a lot :-) Wish you a Merry Christmas!

[davidhowell]

Thanks for such a great year. Came across a whole lot of great albums thanks to your recommendations. You're the best

[Sprtschk]

I just want to say that it's awesome how much effort and (yes, really) love you put into this. I doubt I could get into 50 albums a year, the fact that you're able to not only listen and get into it but actually review it and speak about it in depth is just awesome. Merry christmas and happy new year, melon. You deserve it.

[gambee_]

Even if Hellmode wasn’t my favorite from him, impossible not to be happy for Jeff! Such a great artist who doesn’t have a single miss in his entire catalog.

[klu]

Lana’s album is my top of the year. It’s just hauntingly beautiful and I love it more and more each listen.

[MrWumboJumbo]

Thank you for putting Ken Carson’s ‘A Great Chaos’ at number 1. Well deserved ❤

[avonlsr]

I disagree (I haven't opened the video)

[benw]

did not expect Jeff to be number one, he is my favorite artist of all time and i love that you saw the beauty in HELLMODE. not my album of the year but it’s truly deserving of the title!

[HellNation]

Thank you Melon for all this music shared once again this year. You're doing a lot for musicians everywhere in this round world. Keep it the same for ever

[SleepyAlbatross]

Great list! The Lamb as Effigy is definitely my album of the year, which I discovered through your review, so thanks for that.

[Juli_is_Online]

Thx for all the amazing content, recommendations and entertainment throughout the Year Antknee, have a great New Year!

[falemuelm]

9:05 "you do need to be paying attention to group therapy."
