lmk any other publications and ill get em in the op
metacritic.com/feature/music-critics-pick-top-10-best-albums-of-2020?ref=hp
there are more publications referenced here
any list without the Adrianne lenker album or microphones in 2020 on it is automatically invalidated and too stagnant for its own cultural good.
Complex is such a horrible publication lmao
Damn Fiona album was that good ?
it's really good but it's also her worst album imo, have no idea why it's getting so gassed up.

Lol. Your worst album could be the best album of the year.
And it’s not even being gassed, it’s clearly the best album of the year.
shoutout to keeping all of them in one thread. OP gonna be long as hell tho I think top 10 for each would've been fine lmao everybody thank OP for putting in that work

Fiona is one of my favourite artists so I'd agree, I'm saying this as someone that thinks she hasn't released an album any worse than a 9/10 and this album is certainly up there for me personally, maybe not top 5 of the year but top 10 sure
I just think it's strange it's become so acclaimed, even more so than her previous work (at least from my pov), when she's had other work prior that is so much more deserving of said acclaim, such as the the idler wheel.

Oh ok. I agree. I think like Kendrick with DAMN. (Which I think was great) this album is experienced the residual of folks not recognizing idler wheel as much as they should’ve but I really love this album. Alot
