Il 2024 non si è ancora concluso, ma Pitchfork si porta avanti col lavoro e pubblica già una classifica dei migliori album del decennio 20... fino ad ora. Un decennio che - sottolinea Mano Sundaresan nell'introduzione - ci ha regalato grandi successi delle major, ma anche importanti rivelazioni indie. E se "ci sono sicuramente domande esistenziali da porsi sul formato album, in un'epoca in cui le piattaforme stanno cercando di orientare la direzione della musica verso frammenti di canzoni", si può concludere che l'album resta "una forma vitale come sempre". Ecco, allora, il senso di questa lista, in cui "troverai musica dance ad alto Bpm, jazz ambient ipnotico, indie rock di nuova generazione, rap audace e forse, solo forse, quell'album che ha ottenuto un perfetto 10".
Ecco la lista di Pitchfork deli migliori 100 album degli anni 20 usciti finora (
