I’ll spare the spiel because we all know this year sucks. We don’t need to be told how much this year sucks. But throughout the shittiness of the god forsaken year, there were
some things to enjoy. Like Chase Elliott winning his first championship. Oh, and speaking of, LSU did win a championship in football this year. That happened!
Despite the pandemic and the death and fear it brought, massive unemployment (hello), and societal unrest, there were some things to enjoy this year, and today we’ll share the musical highlights of this deeply cursed year.
Album Of The Year
8. Deftones – Ohms
6. Svalbard – When I Die Will I Get Better?
5. Loathe – I Let It In And It Took Everything
4. Touché Amoré – Lament
2. Biffy Clyro – A Celebration Of Endings
1. Code Orange – Underneath
My early-year obsession with this record – it would get listened to in its entirety once, if not twice, a day; every day; every week – meant Underneath and I had to go on a self-imposed summer-long separation for the sake of my sanity. Revisiting it again for the first time only recently, it remains as enthralling and thrilling as it was all the way back in January. A monumental work of ambition and vision that few would dare even trying to pull off, yet alone do so with such aplomb.
