Album Review: Various - Triple J's Hottest 100 Volume 21 Dylan Stewart

Dylan Stewart

There’s a safety-first approach to the artists or songs making the cut, but from Daft Punk to Dustin Tebbutt, Volume 21 is a tidy snapshot of triple j as it is – for better or worse.



Forty-one songs and two hours 38 minutes' worth of the National Youth Network's finest selections from 2013 makes its way onto these two discs, and for many of the 173,658 punters who voted in The World's Largest Musical Democracy™, sliding Volume 21 into their collections next to Volume 20 will feel like closure on an undeniably strong musical year.
