Best albums of 2023

Guitar bands came back through indie rather than through rock radio, which no longer exists in any useful sense. AI voice clones arrived as a problem nobody had a policy for. Most people still do not. Drill finished going global by then, city by city, in whatever the local language was.

According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of 2023 is TRUSTFALL (Tour Deluxe Edition) by P!nk, rated 4.9/5 by 5 listeners.
