2020 Album Ranking Seems like there's a limit on how many albums this site accepts on one list. Gonna have to cut out the last ones while adding new albums for the rest of the year.

2020 - Stare Into Social Distancing And Be Still The best of 2020 - reduced down to 25, which was no easy feat. This is still somewhat a work in progress, but far closer to a finished product.

2020: Jan-Jun If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I'm not broke yet.
Character limit maxed in mid-May (lockdown increased my music intake too much), so needed to cut down some entries. I also gave up listing all the potential MSA candidates I ploughed through in late December

Tantric Trance Tales: A Yogi's Journey Through 2020 Ask and you shall receive. Let's see if I manage to keep up with it this time.
This list follows in the vein of the previous ones I did for 2015, 16, and 18. Here I'm chronicling my discoveries of albums from this year that generate that mystical lulling, hypnotizing, and all around otherwordly feeling I so insatiably lust for. Inevitably drone, ambient, and psychedelic music will be the most featured here, but if anything considerably sends me "into the zone" as it were, it's up for inclusion.

2020: Please Don't Walk On The Mass Graves 2020 is the year of positivity!!!! Or so I thought, when the year started. "This year I'm gonna stay positive and get shit done!" - and then personal crisis after personal crisis, with horrible election cycles, catastrophies and now a literal pandemic killing hundreds of thousands and dooming us all to stay inside. Weightlifting had another massive outing with rigged competitions on top of the already well known doping, and the US police force kills more than ever.

That Cold Black Magic, By Glenn Killer And His Thorchestra As is the case with my other lists, this is for my own organizational purposes and is designed purely to help me keep track of all the many black metal bands and albums that I enjoy, since I can't keep all of this information in my head. It has no other benefit whatsoever and will likely result in tantrums should anyone else see it. I'm aware that I haven't listened to every black metal album that I should have. I only went down to the 6s on this list, so it's possible that I have listened to your favorite black metal album that you desperately need to suggest and I thought it was terrible. There are a lot of heinously incompetent black metal bands out there.
On the off-chance that you've found this and actually care about what I think (you shouldn't), be advised that my favorites come first. Some are favorites in the general sense; some are favorites within black metal. The first few of those are in some order and not so much after that. Because this is for my own purposes and not intended to be a definitive list of pure black metal, there are some black metal-adjacent bands, or albums by black metal bands that may not themselves be black metal. That's why you'll find so much Sigh clogging up the top of the list. I prefer to keep whole discographies together on one list. I used to include Primordial, Forefather, and other such bands, but a while back I created a list for folk and I decided that those artists would fit better there. I update these lists very infrequently. This was last updated December 7, 2022.

F3ynman's Checklist Here are albums (ordered by subgenre) that I want to listen to, but haven't yet.
For some albums, I've heard one or two songs, but not the entire album. Therefore, these albums still await my judgement! Recommendations are always welcome!

Top 30 Of 2020: A Non-exhaustive Summary Of Some Of The Highlights Of The Lowlight Year I don't think these are necessarily the best 30 albums of this year, but they're the ones that have I guess endured in my psyche and inspiried revisits more than most others. I was tempted to do a top 50, but after around #26 or so, I found myself confronted with about 50 albums that could've conceivably made it in, most of which I hadn't relistened to enough to rank above the others with confidence.

The Black Lodge 2020 List Top 30 in alphabetical order plus some honourable mentions, the top 3 EPs and the best split. Here in the Black Lodge we had some other 20 album that could get in, but the gates in Twin Peaks woods slammed down in flickering flashlights...
The comments are from my delirious tulpa...

2020 Keepers Via Spotify Surely not everything I've listened to, not even close. Every year I use Spotify to make some megalist and start plowing through. Most albums are listened to and discarded, but those that pique my interest get shunted into the Keeper playlist. (I also use other media when needed - particularly Bandcamp - but Spotify remains my favorite.)

My Top 100 Metal Albums of 2020 + 10 Honorable Mentions 1) Last year, I didn't quite finish with a strong list but I am hoping this year it will be. This time around I'm not sure if I want to do either a Top 50 or 100. It will depend on how much time I can dedicate to this. I came back listening to albums since February 29th and these are the fruits of my discoveries. Keep checking back throughout the year.
