DDDeftoneDDD: DDD's 2020 picks

Bedex 12.03.20	do you like metal
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	shhhhh...quiet! still in progress...and yes I do...you can't say the list is not cool so far XD, I'll set up some obs and then will add my sea of 4s
Elynna 12.03.20	Glad 18 is getting some recognition. I should definitely revisit.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	TKS Elynna, I really love it....a really raw and punchy folk BM
Bedex 12.03.20	m/ m/ m/ heck yea brother
nightbringer 12.03.20	Oooh! Cool. Seems a bit more metal-centric than last year. So far anyway!
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	ahahah yeah but not really....the only non metal ones to reach this top 20 per se were Slift and Motorpsycho...I have a few more down the road though...
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	just checked...last year's top 21 also had only 2 non metal, Mrs. Chelsean Fire!Orch and Bill Callahan were all 4.5s.
nightbringer 12.03.20	I totally forgot about Azusa. May need to re-jam.
Dewinged 12.03.20	Subscribed
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	Hi Dew! TKS for showing up. Just added some sayings :D...next for the 4s....ugh...
MyFriendMetatron 12.03.20	I still have to check Ulthar, Psychonaut, and a few others on here. Man I love all the lists on here. It just makes the overwhelming amount of releases out there so much more manageable.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	I'll fuck up that thought with my next edit...be ready XD m/
MyFriendMetatron 12.03.20	Looking forward to it.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	ehehe tks bro! 31 and counting :D
farmerobama 12.03.20	Great Choices! A lot of it will probably appear in my year end list lol
WalrusTusk 12.03.20	Damn dude I didn't realize you were such a prog fan.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	I'm a fan of prog when the prog is good xD tks a lot for showing up guys. Got a few as many to insert...
BlazinBlitzer 12.03.20	Nice! A lot of my favorite metal/prog albums of the year are featured on here.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.20	2020 isn't over I hate u
Sharenge 12.03.20	I'm Walt
evilford 12.03.20	Nice list but yeah it's only dec 3rd! I might do one in January idk. Probably be all dm
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	The year isn't over but neither (and never) is this list. If something worthy of beating the top 20 shows up, within the course of the rest of my life, it will be properly announced and poorly stuffed in it (unless sput's "insert wherever you want" feature finnaly appears). Just join the party guys. After I'm done you can throw at me all your indie chicks, and your aoty recs.
Demon of the Fall 12.03.20	Nice! Heard 13/35, I’m probably slacking. Wake sounds cool.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.03.20	Fine
WalrusTusk 12.03.20	I mean, my comment was a compliment seeing as I love prog also haha.
farmerobama 12.03.20	Also that REZN needs a lot more attention on here, it's their best so far IMO
WalrusTusk 12.03.20	Although I probably listen to "bad" prog so maybe that's not a compliment haha
Demon of the Fall 12.03.20	Did you really just use a Fallout ref for Cryptic Shift? 🥰
DDDeftoneDDD 12.03.20	Ahah I followed Tusk and tks for the compliment. I said that because this year progrock was super strong. That Motorpsycho and Wobbler are insane good. We all listen to bad prog at some point. That REZN is so good! Doom and Reggae was fuckin unexpected what an awesome vibe. @demon, def check Wake. Torchbearer is one hell of a song, soty contender. Yap Fallout 3 ref fs...I'm almost a nerd, not exactly a nerd cause I haven t finished. Loved the game though. I was living alone, so in perfect time and place, but somehow while single, only played fifa and try unsuccessfully to get girls...God I regret the wasted time.
TheNotrap 12.03.20	So many great jams here. Props for Marrasmieli mate
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	Ei dude! Will give it a shot! TKS Anyway, I blew up the list, as always. Now its up to you guys. Don't fill me with recs, but I would definitely love to listen your AOTY.
brainmelter 12.04.20	sick list D, I totally forgot that 47 came out this year. It’s probably because it came out right before the world took a giant shit
MyFriendMetatron 12.04.20	Jesus Christ! I have a lot of catching up to do.
Coast 12.04.20	👍🤘
dedex 12.04.20	heyyyy didn't see this! great tunes all around m/
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	Yeah Metatron, I told you the list would get messy XD all these are solid bro. I 5d the first 2, and 4.5d about 20. The rest are 4s. @Hell yeah dedex, and tks for making me check The Strokes again. @Coast I still wait for your explanation to rate 2000 albums just in one year. Hi there m/
dedex 12.04.20	yah The Strokes' album rips. Thank you for Afterbirth, loved some passages there
TheNotrap 12.04.20	I keep forgetting that your lists keep growing. We're probably the only ones on the site who know about the White Stones release hahah
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	ahaha I remember I recd White Stones to a couple of dudes (garas enjoyed it!)...I had some debate with Nocte on your rev's thread...prob We both killed the thread on being too stubborn XD Essentially the album is very enjoyable and solid if you ditch Opeth&friends soap opera. Ei Dedex...Afterbirth is the proof that brootal can be proggy, classy and sexy as fuck too. Also I've found out it was recorded live on studio, with no clicks or prod triggers of any kind, which makes total sense and makes me love it even more. On close listen you catch these moments where they are talkin to each other etc...
Morningrise767 12.04.20	suuuper strong list bro! \m/
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	Ei Morning! TKS. We know 1 is 1 lol but what would be your aoty? shoot it if I haven't listened yet.
MxL0 12.04.20	I don't know a single band here other than Deftones lol
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	Ahah In sput spectrum I'm not the slightest alternative guy imo You have Loathe, which is Deftonescore! Lol common you must know a few, like Mastodon, Sepultura, Tame Impala...
garas 12.04.20	Hell yeah! Feels great I know most of these. Very nice list.
Trifolium 12.04.20	I haven't heard so many of these DDD! Lovely list nonetheless.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	Now we're all thinking the word "Lovely" applied to most of this list...hum lol but thanks Triffy m/
Pikazilla 12.04.20	Absolutely awesome list, other than 10 and 25 :p
Pikazilla 12.04.20	Also why am I not suprised to see Deftones at #1?
dedex 12.04.20	Pika, jam 35, last 2 tracks are amazing
Pikazilla 12.04.20	That artwork ew lol
evilford 12.04.20	DDD check new undergang, came out today it's fucking filthy
dedex 12.04.20	still better than the pig cocks m/
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	undergang on the digs. TKS ford
Elynna 12.04.20	Woah, this list is a lot longer since last time I checked.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	Yes, its pre much done and only open for new stuff I haven't checked yet (or eventual bumps), if it hits the 4 or plus. What's your aoty? Have I listened?
Pangea 12.04.20	cool list!
Demon of the Fall 12.04.20	DDD’s goody bag doubled in size! Now with added Voidceremony. Yum/m/y!
Gnocchi 12.04.20	“ I had some debate with Nocte on your rev's thread...” What’s this/link pls. My minds so busy these few weeks that I’m not instantly picking up the reference. Great list, a lot of cross over so naturally it’s Nocte approved
Sowing 12.04.20	Nice list dude. Lol'd at the description of Deftones being all grown up now
Shuyin 12.04.20	Massive list, but I'm lagging behind like hell this year. I've only heard The Ocean, Afterbirth, Ulcerate and Deftones and all of them rule face so I'm gonna be stealing albums from your list bro, surely you won't mind
farmerobama 12.04.20	When I grew up I finally realised the earth is flat as well lmao
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	Nocte. After Notrap mentioned White Stones were kinda under he carpet here, I went to the thread and we were the last debating there xD all good we polite. Luv Shu bro, glad you re here and hell , please steal, that s the 2nd reason I put this up. Sow, yeah not quite but you know the vibe of the album seems mature and adventorous to some new grounds, while keeping the deftones id. @farmerobama. We farmers get the World...
farmerobama 12.04.20	That Podcast with Stephen is unironically one of the funniest stuff I've seen all year (Still kinda sad tho)
RabbitSeason 12.04.20	Wait is the no dinosaurs and flat earth thing a meme/joke or what
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	https://www.loudersound.com/news/deftones-guitarist-stephen-carpenter-outs-himself-as-a-flat-earther have fun
RabbitSeason 12.04.20	Hmm ok I won't pollute this list, carry on with wholesome music discussion
garas 12.04.20	Congrats on the feature, bro ;]
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	lol I have good friends :) and Rabbit please enjoy bro, it is time wasting but hella funny
Demon of the Fall 12.04.20	Tombs is pretty good man, it’s definitely fun at the very least.
evilford 12.04.20	Dude 76 bangs, hadn't even heard of this til now. Guitarist got some distinct vigna vibes going on
DDDeftoneDDD 12.04.20	@Demon yeah Tombs is a big one. I'm glad you checked it. @evilford as if you were reading my brain I've just finished a spin on Proscription..shiiiet
teamster 12.04.20	Good stuff DDD. I will definitely check that Wayfarer album. I seem to remember liking them years ago.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.05.20	Hell yeah teamster. Really great mix on red dead redemption and bm ehe
TheNotrap 12.05.20	Bumping great 2020 jams
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.06.20	27 looks cool
Sniff 12.06.20	Nice Proscritption
DDDeftoneDDD 12.06.20	Tks Mr. Notrap! 27 is gorgeous Pots...and for those into folk, just added this Jonathan Hulten on 79, ex Tribulatio guitarrist (since yesterday) solo work. Once a day, after lunch Sniff m/
Inoculaeted 12.08.20	Nice call on 5. Hadn’t heard that one before. Wild album. Was not a big death metal year for me but that and Undergang are making a late push.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.08.20	Oooh on that Undergang as well? It will be soon added to the list ahah And yap 5 is amazing.... It was not a big dm year for you but it has been an awesome dm year really.
vacantPlanet 12.08.20	Just checked out Azusa, really cool stuff. Great list!
DDDeftoneDDD 12.09.20	tks vacant. Yeah that Azusa is even harder to brain fit than the debut...site is not caring enough...glad to see it hit a few lists though m/
DDDeftoneDDD 12.09.20	minor changes being done...had to fit that Undergang there somehow! also the new ETID EP was added!
dedex 12.09.20	yo ETID EP? nice nice nice
DDDeftoneDDD 12.11.20	yap the boys are back in town! X) added a few late entries...I'm afraid there's more to come XD
dbizzles 12.11.20	Can't believe this list is good. -nobody ever
DDDeftoneDDD 12.11.20	What are you saying? All my lists are good...if you disagree you are missing out xD pick any and press play, xoxo
DDDeftoneDDD 12.15.20	okay dudes...I knew this was coming...you heavy guys do that new Yashira ASAP. Late entries will start to fuck this up.
Inveigh 12.18.20	Nice list man, I've heard less than half of it but that's mostly on account of being an old dad and not being the avid music discoverer I once was. Definitely want to check out a ton from this that I missed. Did you check the new Spirit Adrift by chance?
DDDeftoneDDD 12.18.20	Oh yes...I'm a dad too...and its hard to keep up. TKS a lot. I listened to Spirit Adrift but I think their previous album is miles ahead of this...specially according to my tastes. If you want some good heavy metal/speed metal check my latest entry Inveigh: Butcher - 666 Goats Carry My Chariot
Gnocchi 12.18.20	Caelestra - Black Widow Nebula Hits with the energy The Ocean should have this year
DDDeftoneDDD 12.18.20	I like the new The Ocean a lot...but you recing it here it must be good af...will check Nocte. TKS!!!!
DDDeftoneDDD 12.18.20	woooaa a sput virgin album...I'm honored Nocte! The cover is gorgeous.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.18.20	After some gymnastics was able to set Yashira in the deserved top 10 of mine. Beast.
Inveigh 12.20.20	nice i'll check that out, thank you sir
evilford 12.20.20	Dad crew represent
DDDeftoneDDD 12.21.20	lol you 2? That's cool...we getting old, yet we don't save our ears XD
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	added Malokarpatan...yall check that for Slovakian BMfolk Heavy Metal weirdness! Been doing this one non stop
romulanrancor 12.22.20	nice list bruh, good to see 9 on here album is power
romulanrancor 12.22.20	deftones never miss
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	9 as we all can see...is top 10 LMAO for real, really dug that album in a year full of good stoner. Glad we agree on Deftones.
Demon of the Fall 12.22.20	Is 15 top 10? 🤔
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	ahah I have to be honest here bro...all the above albums hit me more! For what its worth the 4.5s end at #22. I shamelessly 5d the first 2.
Demon of the Fall 12.22.20	22 x 4.5s, wow that’s a lot! Fair enough.
tectactoe 12.22.20	5, 17, 20, 23, 30, 31, 73 - all awesome. fuck yeah. nice list. i need to check some of the others.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	ahah I need more years but apparently I have the trend to check over 200 year's releases (NOT RANDOMLY) and end up 4.5 about 20 and 5 about 1/2/3.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	shit tectac 5 needs some damn love...I honestly don't know what Demon is waiting to check it. TKS a lot tectac
Demon of the Fall 12.22.20	Shamefully scared off by the ‘brootal’ tag.
tectactoe 12.22.20	it's got the gnarly vox but is far more 'technical' than mindlessly 'brutal' imo.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	ahah its brootal because it has Will Smith (Artificial Brain) on the vocals! So be prepared for the burping...yet tectac loves it! you know he's hard to please...I'd like to add the tag "gaze" and I think that may help XD... plus it has song titles very year's themed like Spiritually Transmited Disease or Minimum Self Distance XD (not to mention Beheading the Budah - ups I mentioned - I'm drunk) Nah for real Demon...Notrap's rev is pretty damn cool, but all the other outside revs I've read all start by "let's start by make one thing clear...with all due respect I've never been much into brootal...but...etc etc etc"
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	crank the vol up cause that stuff is a fuckin live studio recording, which makes it even more impressive...the only reason I haven't 5d it tbh is because there are bands like Artificial Brain, Gorguts etc (both somewhat more complex or harder to unfold)...cause I have done it over 20 times.
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	meaning "if brootal=dumb then this is intelligent af" lolol
Demon of the Fall 12.22.20	I mean it DOES have the Fake Brain dude on vox, so I kind of have to listen. And if it techs harder then it brutes, I’m in! Cheers to drunkenness!
DDDeftoneDDD 12.22.20	Artificial ≠ Fake start showing some respect for the days to come
DDDeftoneDDD 01.02.21	okay Jessie...
Pikazilla 01.02.21	We have 2 of the same albums in our top 5s, very nice
DDDeftoneDDD 01.02.21	where is it tho? (your top 5)
dedex 01.02.21	not poop lel
evilford 01.02.21	"it's got the gnarly vox but is far more 'technical' than mindlessly 'brutal' imo." I think we need to distance ourselves from the assumption that brutality necessarily directly equates to mindlessness
DDDeftoneDDD 01.05.21	Murphy's law is gonna strike again
someone 01.26.21	so where would Protomartyr rank now you think?
Pikazilla 01.26.21	i love this list so much i can even overlook the fact that jeff poopstock is on it
dedex 01.26.21	Keleketla yeeehaw
DDDeftoneDDD 01.26.21	Well, that's a tough question someone. Considering I 4d from 23 onward. From 84 onward were all late (postlist) discoveries. Its not a tight rank, but picks. I'll go along with your proposal tho: Considering I take into account packs in genre and/or color scheme (LMAO), I would be glad to set this up on that pink to purple "indiefolkpunk non-metal" section between 24 and 27 XD
DDDeftoneDDD 02.10.21	Barishi added. For lovers of blackened version of early Mastodon.
Gyromania 02.10.21	i can't remember the last time an album fell so far down my aoty list the way ohms did. i was in love when i first heard it, but each subsequent listen slowly killed the initial magic until now, i can't be bothered to listen to a single track from it. i also started out as disliking the singles but now thinking that the bookends are far and away the best thing about the album. very disappointing record in hindsight and probably one of their weakest. some good stuff on here tho. naiv and roisin machine are great inclusions
DDDeftoneDDD 02.10.21	yeah the high rank is prob for those who think the album's strength is not relying on the bookends by any means, quite the contrary. I'm secure it will age better than any of their latter efforts. And TKS, should listen to Naiv more, since I've jammed roisin like crazy lol
Gyromania 02.10.21	roisin is so so so good. i actually think it's a way better dance album than what's your pleasure, which is also pre good but pales in comparison imo
DDDeftoneDDD 02.10.21	I have a crush for Roisin since early days. Saw Moloko live once, in the middle of the show she speaks to the audience saying: - I'm just a girl who likes to fuck. - I add that it looked and sounded rather sexy than slutty.
DDDeftoneDDD 02.10.21	Very few know Joshua Burnside apparently. I kinda fetch it on Anatelier's list. Its brilliant Folk friends. I put it there (list is out of control and I'm done with 2020). Definitely worth the shot. TKS Anat!
