Best Albums of 2001
Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.
The BlueprintSoul samples, one rap guest and a man at the height of his confidence. The sound of the decade starts here.Read the review
No More DramaOne immortal single, one enormous title track, and a lot of album stretched between them.
DiscoveryA perfect run of singles inside an uneven album, and the production manual half of modern pop still works from.
ToxicityFour unrelated sections in three minutes, and somehow the most durable metal record of its year.
StillmaticThe comeback works because he stops defending the throne and starts writing like he wants it back.
