2020: The Decent Bits
Sup guys how's everybody doing besides too ADD to read my long-ass list title lmao |
1 | | Ulcerate Stare Into Death and Be Still
Ceremonial placement, never have my high expectations for an album been met so forcefully. |
2 | | SUMAC May You Be Held
It's bizarre and almost ramshackle, but the more I listened to this to see if I enjoyed it the more I realized that's exactly what I was doing. |
3 | | Palm Reader Sleepless
Whoa where did this come from
damn |
4 | | Couch Slut Take A Chance On Rock 'n' Roll
almost broke my cigarette but I didn't and that's pretty crust punk |
5 | | Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou May Our Chambers Be Full
Always a good time when an amazing collab on the surface turns out amazing in substance |
6 | | Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats Unlocked
This bumps so goddamn hard, I want a full record or mixtape from Denzel in 2021 so badly |
7 | | Fiona Apple Fetch The Bolt Cutters
We all know this is amazing, it just is. The glory fades slightly after a few listens though. |
8 | | Leeched To Dull the Blades of Your Abuse
Probably one of my most-played albums all year because it is damn-near perfect.
good point in this list for a reminder everything so far is an easy 4.5 and order is mostly meaningless |
9 | | Waxahatchee Saint Cloud
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
10 | | Mamaleek Come and See
I realized that the description for #2 could also work for this, ha. Kinda how it goes with all Mamaleek records for me. |
11 | | Prurient Casablanca Flamethrower
Oh yes, his best since FNF by far. Perfect blend of his harsher power electronics and the militant drones he does with Vatican Shadow. |
12 | | Question Reflections of the Void
Still all of these are mostly 4.5s...it was a good year for music if not much else. #2 death metal for the year behind Ulcerate. |
13 | | Thy Catafalque Naiv
Reppin' those January releases boiii. For real I saved a slot for this ever since I first heard it, so here it is. |
14 | | Oranssi Pazuzu Mestarin Kynsi
Wide selection this year of black metal being wrung out for all it's worth. |
15 | | Boris NO
I'm a huge Boris fanboy but this is seriously great, they're on a damn roll recently |
16 | | Afterbirth Four Dimensional Flesh
Technical slam death? Ok. REALLY GOOD tech slam death??
YES. |
17 | | Slift Ummon
Jammy, spacey, stonery, rocky, fuzzy, post-ish...
Fuck, it's a big ol' rok album y'all |
18 | | Svalbard When I Die, Will I Get Better?
How I was sold a skramzcore album with song titles like "Click Bait" I don't know
But this is genuinely pretty damn great |
19 | | Napalm Death Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism |
20 | | Deftones Ohms
This and Napalm Death are both like 3.8s and y'all need to chill |
