"Official" Homestuck albums encompass all music albums created by the Homestuck music team and released on the official Homestuck bandcamp. Albums produced by music team members are music team albums, but are not regarded as official parts of the Homestuck music canon.
Since the release of Homestuck Volume 1 in 2009 the Homestuck music team has released 33 complete albums to date. Volumes 1-4 were later merged into a single album in 2011. In 2019, there was a major reorganization of the Homestuck bandcamp, with 9 albums (Squiddles!, Strife!, Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido, Sburb, The Wanderers, Prospit & Derse, Song of Skaia, One Year Older, and Genesis Frog) being completely removed and the remainder being merged into 9 different albums. (The solo albums Strife!, Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido, One Year Older, Song of Skaia and Genesis Frog can be found on their respective artists' personal bandcamps, and are linked in the official Homestuck bandcamp's sidebar. Prospit & Derse and Sburb can also be found on their artists' personal bandcamps, but are not linked on the Homestuck bandcamp's sidebar.)

(Main article: Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido)

Quite a departure from the usual style of official Homestuck music in many ways, the album is performed from the perspective of two extracanonical agents from Prospit and Derse in another Sburb session; Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido. While they once opposed each other, they discovered the answer to the ultimate riddle, and came together to sing their insights. Notably, this album is the first official Homestuck album to feature individual pieces of cover art for every track that were created specifically for the album and not taken from Homestuck itself.

(Main article: Song of Skaia (album))

The titular track, Song of Skaia, includes a lyrical component sung in both Latin and Tolkien elvish, and is a must-listen track in the Homestuck music canon.
coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A[]
(Main article: coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A)
Released on April 2nd, 2012, with 34 tracks, coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A is almost unique in that it is the first of two officially released fan albums (the second being coloUrs and mayhem: Universe B). Songs were submitted by fans in a competition, and selected tracks were released on the two coloUrs and mayhem albums. This first album was themed around characters from Universe A, largely being the post-Scratch trolls and their Ancestors. As the fan tracks were selected by quality rather than quantity, many tracks that were originally written for a different topic entirely were re-purposed to fit the theme, and their names changed. These changes are recorded in alt text in a lyric document that was released alongside the album, and is evident in some tracks such as Cobalt Thief, where a Morse code segment reflects its initial composition as a song for Serenity, a firefly who speaks in Morse code. The album is divided into two sides, one containing a song each for the Ancestors and one a song each for their descendants, and then additional songs included in a third "additional mayhem" section, each section commencing with its own bookend track.
coloUrs and mayhem: Universe B[]
(Main article: coloUrs and mayhem: Universe B)
Released April 13th, 2012, with 32 tracks, coloUrs and mayhem: Universe B is the second of the official fan music compilation releases. As with coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A, the tracks were taken from submissions to a fan competition and then re-purposed and re-named to fit the album theme Universe B characters and themes. The album is again divided into three sections, the first "side" containing tracks for the four pre-Scratch (Beta) kids, and the second for the four post-Scratch (Alpha) kids. The bulk of the album, however, is contained within the "additional mayhem" section, where the other 22 tracks are placed. Once again, each section of the album is commenced with its own bookend track.
Homestuck Vol. 9[]
(Main article: Homestuck Vol. 9)
Released on June 12th, 2012, Homestuck Vol. 9 is the ninth and penultimate Homestuck music volume, totaling 51 tracks. The first Homestuck music volume released since the debut of Act 6, it is therefore the first to contain songs pertaining to the Alpha kids, who are therefore featured on its main cover artwork.
Symphony Impossible to Play[]
(Main article: Symphony Impossible to Play)
A second solo album by Clark "Plazmataz" Powell, and the first in a short series of Homestuck solo albums released around this time, the 4-track Symphony Impossible to Play, released on August 1st, 2012, is in fact an orchestral piece in four movements, remixing some of Homestuck's most iconic leitmotifs into a stunning symphony.
One Year Older[]
(Main article: One Year Older)
Released August 15th, 2012, One Year Older is a 17 track solo album by Erik "Jit" Scheele, largely centered on Homestuck's principle character, John Egbert. While containing diverse instrumentation, One Year Older places a particular emphasis on the piano.
Genesis Frog[]
(Main article: Genesis Frog)
The final official Homestuck solo album release, Alexander Rosetti's Genesis Frog, released October 23rd, 2012, is an impressive 19 tracks long. Its subject is the mythology surrounding the Genesis Frog, worshiped by the citizens of Prospit and reviled by the denizens of Derse.
Cherubim[]
(Main article: Cherubim)
The last Homestuck album released before the buildup to the comic's finale, Cherubim is an 11 track album released on March 14th, 2013. Taking the Cherub twins, Caliborn and Calliope, as its subject, the album moves back and forth with every other track being a song for one of the pair, reflecting their battle for predominance over their single body. Caliborn's songs rise in intensity whilst Calliope's fall, reflecting her losing the battle, before the final track, Eternity Served Cold, breaks this back and forth pattern and celebrates Caliborn's sinister victory and predominance over his sister.
[S] Collide.[]
(Main article: [S] Collide.)
One of two mini albums released during Homestuck's climax, in this case on April 6th, 2016, [S] Collide. is a collection of 4 tracks that consist the soundtrack of the eponymous page in Homestuck, the end of Act 6 animation, [S] Collide.

Homestuck Vol. 10[]
(Main article: Homestuck Vol. 10)
