BEST ALBUMS of 2020 || Crash Thompson

[@DKDarrenKelly]

If nobody had listened to it, they should listen to visions of bodies being burned by clipping. probably one of my favorite albums from 2020

[@LexDicksonEverything]

clipping. are scary good. Two in a row now for top 3 albums of the year.

[@mattmcdonald-kearns5286]

Dude! Such a good record!

[@Mokidekey]

Its straight my favorite album of 2020

[@rike94]

That is an amazing fucking album

[@49short]

I had to reread that first sentence a second time because the cadence I read it in the first time immediately put an image in my head of people spontaneously combusting because an album had such an atrocious vocal mix lol. Never heard of this band or album so I’ll have to check it out

[@rushguy1]

My top 5 of 2020: 5. Code Orange - Underneath 4. Deftones - Ohms 3. Mr. Bungle - The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo 2. Hum - Inlet 1. Sparks - A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip

[@customcornpop]

given that I really love your nr 3 - 5 I should probably give your top spots a listen.

[@BernardChelgren]

My Top 10 of 2020: 1. "Imploding the Mirage" The Killers 2. "Manic" - Halsey 3. "Petals for Armor" - Hayley Williams 4. "Ohms" - Deftones 5. "10 Songs" - Travis 6. "Hurry Up and Wait" - Soul Asylum 7. "That's How Rumors Get Started" - Margo Price 8. "This is What I Live For" - Blue October 9. "Gigaton" - Pearl Jam 10. "Future Nostalgia" - Dua Lipa

[@UnhallowedEssence]

Personal List 5. King Mothership - The Ritual 4. Loathe - I Let It In and It Took Everything 3. Polaris - The Death of Me 2. Make them Suffer - How to Survive a Funeral 1. Protest the Hero - Palimpsest

[@sleepyowl76]

My favorite album of 2020 was Shore by Fleet Foxes. It’s such a breezy, soothing record, and it gave me a lot of comfort in the home stretch of last year. The production and instrumentation are incredibly tight, and even if it’s a big deviation from the sound of their first two albums, I think they pulled it off.

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

Some From My List In No Order: SLS - Brave Faces Everyone The Weeknd - After Hours Jason Isbell - Reunions Fiona Apple - Fetch The Bolt Cutters Four Year Strong - Brain Pain Run The Jewels - RTJ4 IDLES - Ultra Mono Rina Sawayama - Sawayama Aesop Rock - Spirit World Field Guide (Real talk: had I the dosh this year, and known that noone would bring Aes to your doorstep in a Fimi, I'd have immediately chucked ten bucks your way to recommend it. Sorry, man.)

[@TheDoctorPhreak]

You missed out on a heavy "NU metal" era album this last year Tallah- Matriphagy At least check it out for yourself. If you dont like it I get it It was a weird, yet refreshing album

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

See also: Carnivore by Body Count

[@conord9623]

Matriphagy was definitely my album of the year

[@ThePodcastThatRocked]

1:03:29 Rightfully so.

[@Hola-tq4pg]

Calling it, Spanish Love Songs will be number one and gratefully deserved

[@VeneratorVar]

you called it

[@williambinns218]

You won

[@ryanbollinger1759]

Bring me the Horizon should have got it tbh. Either them or Loathe.

[@Hola-tq4pg]

@@ryanbollinger1759 i hope you don't feel bad for this cuz is not my intention but... i just don't get the whole hype that album gets, i mean it's good, it's arguably their best since That's the Spirit... but everyone is treating it like if it's the second coming of christ just because they are making metal again

[@xtransxcorex]

51:23 SKA LIVES FOREVER PICK IT UUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPP

[@timhaynes2492]

The text used in the thumbnail reminds me of the ECW font

[@shadow-scope-fsm7165]

I would've never discovered Dua Lipa's 'Future Nostalgia', had you not given it such a strong recommendation. And coming from someone who's something of a Modern Pop Grinch, it ended up being one of my favourite albums of 2020, so I have you to thank for that. Sure, 'Don't Start Now' is MASSIVELY overplayed on the radio, but the album has some stellar deep cuts ('Cool' is my kind of jam).

[@tjdexx8414]

I also decided to take the dive after Crash talked about it earlier in the year. Its soooooo gooooood. I cant get enough of Hallucinate

[@jamiecowell2899]

My Top 10 1. Sports Team - Deep Down Happy 2. Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia 3. Spanish Love Songs - Brave Faces Everyone 4.

I meant to watch the premiere but the inauguration concert was happening- but I have been looking forward to this ALL YEAR, it gives me so much to listen to in the coming year!!!

[@KhaosKontroller]

You right about metal having a slumpy year. My favourites of the year are all metal, and this year didn't really hold many masterpieces or albums that will stick with me for years to come. My list is usually stuffed with djent, but I only had DVSR on djent for this year. That said, my album of the year is Virus by Haken.

[@davidhoff9628]

The description of your number one album makes me think of Rise Againsts album Endgame

[@jacksolomon2912]

[@ringer1324]

Great list!

[@alexddragame]

@@ringer1324 Thanks

[@hellonurd8957]

Nice picks here. So glad that The Ghost Inside & Protest The Hero dropped albums! I thought we'd never hear from them again.

[@alexddragame]

@@hellonurd8957 Same. Comebacks from both were certainly highlights of last year

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

I actually think 2020 had plenty of strong metal releases this year. Some of my favourites (not mentioning Ohms and When I Die because those were also big favourites of mine) include: Avatar - Hunter-Gatherer Zeal & Ardor - Wake Of A Nation Body Count - Carnivore Pallbearer - Forgotten Days Mordred - Volition Raven - Metal City Hatari - Neyslutrans

[@samuelmercier3635]

Great video with great picks, but I’ll preach my top 4 picks because they weren’t mentioned here and I think ya’ll should give them a listen: (5 would be Sawayama) 4: Dorian Electra’s My Agenda 3: Ichiko Aoba’s Windswept Adan 2: Envy’s The fallen crimson 1: HMLTD’s West of eden

[@RanterInShades]

My Top 20: 20. Invent, Animate - Greyview 19. Reb Beach - A View From the Inside 18. Knuckle Puck - 20/20 17. Stand Atlantic - Pink Elephant 16. Stryper - Even the Devil Believes 15. Spanish Love Songs - Brave Faces Everyone (it's not that I don't think the album is amazing, it just wasn't my personal favorite) 14. Havok - V 13. Covet - Technicolor 12. Polaris - The Death of Me 11. Intervals - Circadian 10. Deftones - Ohms 9. Binary Code - Memento Mori 8. The Ghost Inside - self-titled 7. Haken - Virus 6. Protest the Hero - Palimpsest 5. Trivium - What the Dead Men Say 4. Belmont - Reflections (I know it's an EP, but IDGAF) 3. Plini - Impulse Voices 2. John Petrucci - Terminal Velocity 1. Joe Satriani - Shapeshifting (I've commented before about being the resident aficionado of this man's work, so this should surprise no one) Honorable mentions (my #30-21) Code Orange - Underneath Lamb of God - self-titled Oceans of Slumber - self-titled Four Year Strong - Brain Pain Dragged Under - The World Is In Your Way Dan Sugarman - Inside/Out Part I Movements - No Good Left to Give Caligula's Horse - Rise Radiant Sylosis - Cycle of Suffering Unleash the Archers - Abyss A clunky year for metal? I think not.

[@DeathMachineJoe]

Gonna try and listen to more different stuff in 2021. This list proves how much music (outside of rock and metal) I've missed last year. My top 5: 5. Daniel Tompkins - Ruins 4. Deftones - Ohms 3. Trivium - What the Dead Men Say 2. Garrett Williamson - Middle of Somewhere 1. Spanish Love Songs - Brave Faces Everyone

[@daltonriser1125]

[@charlisebar-shai2613]

56:45 crash be like *yells in bisexual*

[@kassemir]

WAP is #1 in our hearts... and in our pants. Though, for real, even though it's a single, I would have been totally okay with having it as #1 on the list :D

[@gracecarpinter8623]

Seriously, WAP slaps (or, IDK, drips), if only for the way it keeps on winding up the kinds of whiny crybabies who stumble across Todd in the Shadows' Best Songs of 2020 list and feel like they *have* to add their totally-original opinion about how WAP is ~so bad u gaiz waaaah~. (It's also a great song, but trolling the clowns will never get old).

[@jacee8094]

Wow, I was shocked you grew less favorable to Underneath dude. That album gets better each listen to me. I love the bigger emphasis on Reba driven songs but getting heavier with the heavy (Swallowing the Rabbit Hole) is one of my favorite songs ever, and I just think it’s weird you grew less favorable. But I can respect that for sure.

[@devinoneill5766]

Terrific video Crash, been watching you for years now and your passion is always inspiring! :) Sounds to me like I gotta check out that Ruston Kelly record and maybe relisten to Sawayama! Here’s my list, cheers! honorable mentions: Blake Mills - Mutable Set Adrianne Lenker - songs Dogleg - Melee 10.) YUKIKA - SOUL LADY 9.) Sam Lee - Old Wow 8.) The Weeknd - After Hours 7.) Black Dresses - Peaceful As Hell 6.) Perfume Genius - SMHOFI 5.) Mac Miller - Circles 4.) Lianne La Havas - self-titled 3.) Fennec - Free Us of This Feeling 2.) Matt Elliott - Farewell to All We Know 1.) Charli XCX - how I’m feeling now Edit cause I absolutely love that freakin Andrew WK album lmaooo

[@gregoryhenry8464]

Dance Gavin Dance came out with a BANGER of an album in 2020

[@CoffeePotGames]

One of the best!

[@MaddisonBaek]

I thank you for the When I Die, Will I Get Better? album. Just like you did in 2019 with Moron Police, you recommended good stuff.

[@CoffeePotGames]

My favorites in no order: •Hollywood Undead - New Empire Vol. 1 and 2 •Dance Gavin Dance - Afterburner •King Mothership - The Ritual •Grey Daze - Amends •Bring Me The Horizon - Post Human: Survival Horror •Ninja Sex Party - The Prophecy •Hayley Williams - Petals For Armor •RWBY Volume 7 Soundtrack •Final Fantasy 7 Remake OST •Youngblud - weird!

[@zdoggzero6595]

My top 10 10. Trivium- What The Dead Men Say 9. If I Die First- My Poison Arms (may be an EP but this was loads of fun) 8. Protest The Hero- Palimpsest 7. BMTH- Post Human Survival Horror 6. Bilmuri- Eggy Pocket 5. Farley Drive- Danger Danger (what the new Green Day should have been) 4. Signals- Death in Divide 3. Venom Prison- Primeval 2. Outrage- Run Riot 1. Spanish Love Songs- Brave Faces Everyone (obvious choice is obvious but it’s just that damn good)

[@TalkingMusicAllDay]

Great to see you giving Bartees Strange the credit he deserves.

[@nigelnash7516]

Great job on the Jonathan Hultén record, holy shiiit I love it!

[@Gravastars1]

My personal top ten/what got me through 2020: 1. Bob Vylan - We Live Here EP 2. BAD OPERATION - BAD OPERATION 3. Gorillaz - Song Machine 4. Jeff Rosenstock - NO DREAM / 2020 DUMP 5. F.O.D. - Sleepville I & II 6. The Inevitables - The Inevitables 7. IDLES - Ultra Mono 8. Dub Pistols - Addict 9. The Homeless Gospel Choir - This is Your Landfill 10. Mungo's Hi Fi & Marina P - Soul Radio

[@alarson1976]

If you made a playlist of 1 track from each of the top 20, what would it look like?

[@TheHappySpaceman]

Also, if it's any consolation, I picked a different album as my favorite of 2020, so no worries about picking _Spanish Love Songs._

[@josephhinz6256]

Holy shit! My album request made the list proper! Yay! (Nice to hear you liked Sløtface!)

[@josephrunkle3887]

The entire rock coliseum had the same AOTY!!

[@Airshots22]

What's the band name for 0:35 ? Not going to lie, that Morbid Angel shirt is what's selling me on them.

[@CrashThompson]

That's Svalbard. Their record was #14 on the list.

[@SkywalkerDohmen]

Oh no... My favorite album of 2020 was only #19 and Crash dared to pull a genuinely funny joke on the fuckbois. Whatever will I do? XD Great vid dude! Hope next year will be even better, musically and just in general!

[@Replicaate]

Good list! I'm glad I got into Run The Jewels this year - I never was much for hip-hip, so I went in blind and I was treated to an incredible album as a result. I'm gonna have to check out Sharptooth as well, I have such a a craving for angry, feisty metalcore I haven't had since my teen years, and a lot of my long-running metal favorites either delayed or released kinda "meh" albums this year. On that note, a little shoutout to Eighteen Visions' sweet little 'Inferno' EP that proved that their solid reunion album and return to hardcore wasn't just a fluke.

[@individualthotpatterns9067]

My Top 20: 20. Mac Miller - Circles 19. Tallah - Matriphagy 18. Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters 17. END - Splinters of an Ever-Changing Face 16. Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin kynsi 15. Backxwash - God Has Nothing to Do with This Leave Him Out of It 14. Rina Sawayama - Sawayama 13. Bambara - Stray 12. Moses Summey - Grae 11. Deftones - Ohms 10. Black Dresses - Peaceful as Hell 9. clipping. - Visions of Bodies Being Burned 8. Imperial Triumphant - Alphaville 7. Tame Impala - The Slow Rush 6. Greg Puciato - Child Soldier: Creator of God 5. Jessie Ware - What’s Your Pleasure? 4. Thundercat - It Is What It Is 3. Hum - Inlet 2. Code Orange - Underneath 1. Pyrrhon - Abscess Time I understand why you kind of abstained from metal this year. In a year as stressful as this I get why someone doesn’t want to spend their time on music that doesn’t scream in your face. But as someone who has struggled with current metal in the past few years, 2020 was one of the most exciting years in metal. I finally felt like I was actively involved in the scene rather than a distant observer. BTW I 100% recommend giving Abscess Time a shot. The lyrics remind me of RTJ4 and Brave Faces Everyone in that it’s astonishing how pertinent they are to COVID considering that they were written before 2020.

[@MelvinDukowski]

My best of 2020 in no particular order is: Thy Catafalque - Naiv Imperial Triumphant - Alphaville (Bonus Tracks Edition) Haru Nemuri - Lovetheism Boris - No Klô Pelgag - Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs Will Wood - The Normal Album Idles - Ultra Mono gulch - Impenetrable Cerebral Fortress Igorrr - Spirituality and Distortion Keleketla! - Keleketla! Sepultura - Quadra clipping. - Visions of Bodies Being Burned Zeal & Ardor - Wake of a Nation Gorillaz - Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez (Deluxe) Run the Jewels - RTJ4 Rïcïnn - Nereïd Carach Angren - Franckensteina Strataemontanus Alestorm - Curse Of The Crystal Coconut (Deluxe Version) Finntroll - Vredesvavd Hail Spirit Noir - Eden in Reverse . If I had to pick best I think The Normal Album by Will Wood is it for me. I would'nt have known about it if it weren't for it breaking the scale on your channel so thanks crash

[@818cantfail]

Spanish Love Songs is so so amazing

[@freemonwicher2018]

Good sir Crash, I have only one criticism: I am not going to argue with any of your picks and actually I am glad your branching out to other genres but dude Protest The Hero should've been top 5. I get people can be split on Palimpsest a bit but for me it was perfect. It had everything I wanted to hear and so many surprises I was not prepared for that still floor me today. Either way still love you and you are still a noble senpai of new music, good luck finding tunes this year 🤘😊

[@Shredhead1818]

My Top Five: Swamp Dogg - Sorry You Couldn't Make It Honey Harper - Starmaker Brian Eno and Roger Eno - Mixing Colours Declan McKenna - Zeros The Soft Pink Truth - Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase?

[@09philj]

Albums what I thought were good: The Chats - High Risk Behaviour: A very silly punk album that reflects the lighter side of being twenty something in 2020. Bob Mould - Blue Hearts : Bob can do very special things with that Stratocaster of his. METZ - Atlas Vending : The Canadian noise punks channel their fury into their best melodies yet. The Beths - Jump Rope Gazers : Superior sophomore effort from the kiwi indie rockers. Will Wood - The Normal Album : Inexplicable and brilliant mixture of do-wop, jazz, and musical theatre. Protomartyr - Ultimate Success Today : Detroit's finest ring in the 2020s with a melancholy yet triumphant culmination of their first decade making music. Long may they continue.

[@InkAndPoet]

Thanks Crash, now I'm into Plasma Cutter! Though I will say it's bitch to find them on KZbin.

[@grouchypseudopod354]

Haven't watched this channel in a hot minute, I was low key expecting to see some love for Laura Jane Grace, but these were good albums too.

[@nks1384]

I know you didn't have many strong feelings for it, but AJJ's Good Luck Everybody is probably my favorite of last year. Best they've done in 8 years. Edit: not Including Ugly Spiral. That shit slaps.

[@King-ty7mz]

I don't get how he doesn't like AJJ or Jeff Rosenstock

[@unimpressedalchemist]

1. Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher 2. R.A.P. FEREIRRA - Purple Moonlight Pages 3. Armand Hammer - Shrines 4. Pink Siifu/YungMorpheus - Bag Talk 5. Charli XCX - How I'm Feeling Now

[@CamelotGaming]

If Clowncore isn't at least mentioned, I'll riot.

Next year you could use your wall display to show previous #1's and then add the latest #1 at the end.

[@jdh21403]

As someone who mainly listens to metalcore, it’s been real boring lately

[@tylerhackner9731]

Yesss love best lists. Some of my favorites in 2020 were Chromatica by Lady Gaga, Folklore by Taylor Swift and Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa.

[@DFMusic811]

NO PHOEBE BRIDGERS???

[@phyrexiancoffee6324]

Totally agree about Country, to write off the whole genre because of the garbage put out by the mainstream is doing yourself a disservice. Country is a great genre that has been just absolutely dragged through the mud by a lifted Cummins diesel drove by a dude who has never even seen a real farm.

[@jsharrin]

I keep thinking you’re wearing an old Helix T-shirt.

[@____smith]

The new Protest the Hero cannot get out of my rotation. Easily my AOTY.

Hyped for this

[@ALIENjoy]

Great call on Bartees Strange. Never heard him before but it’s pretty fantastic on my first listen today. Here’s what I had for this year, but of course it’s subject to change. Son Lux - Tomorrows II Moor Mother & billy woods - BRASS The Districts - You Know I’m Not Going Anywhere Koreatown Oddity - Little Dominique’s Nosebleed Arca - KiCk i This is the Kit - Off Off On Black Noi$e - OBLIVION Ela Minus - acts of rebellion Revenant Marquis - Anti Universal Compassion Bibio - Sleep on the Wing Lianne La Havas - Lianna La Havas Benny the Butcher - Burden of Proof Jeff Parker - Suite For Max Brown Josephine Foster - No Harm Done Baauer - PLANET’S MAD Bing & Ruth - Species IDLES - Ultra Mono George Ogilvie - White Out The Garden - Kiss My Super Bowl Ring Liturgy - Origin of the Alimonies Westside Gunn - Pray For Paris Mary Lattimore - Silver Ladders Lauren Ruth Ward - Vol. II Boldy James & Sterling Toles - Manger on McNichols Lanterns on the Lake - Spook the Herd The Strokes - The New Abnormal

[@kafeimewtwo2410]

Brave Faces Everyone is my new favorite album

[@DashieNegan41]

Top 3 3 Hellripper - The Affair of Poisons 2 Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin Kynsi 1 Imperial Triumphant - Alphaville

[@gabiocampos]

I would say rina is art pop

[@RiverOfWetness468]

I am overjoyed to see an album I requested for Crash to review as an honorable mention. Shame, though, that SPOILERS Aeges didn't appear in this video. (My request was the Jonathan Hulten album)

[@tariqthomas9090]

Sawayama by Rina Sawayama was, by far and away my favorite album of last year. The vocals, the hooks, the guitar riffs, the concepts, the lyrics, the genre-switching... just a top tier debut album.

[@mirroredheart7292]

Yesss same!

[@chrisdalton5003]

Ruston kellys shape and destroy was my favorite of the year

[@thereverse-flash9942]

I honestly didn’t think Dua Lipa was capable of that.

[@ZaneKriglowitz]

Pastor Crash needs to become a recurring thing. lol

[@ValeryBoikov]

Thank you.

[@snowdying4202]

The new diet cig album was so good crash if u never listened to it it’s called do you wonder about me also the new Walter Etc album was very good

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

Most people wouldn't classify Jason Isbell as country. He's more Americana along with other artists like Ruston Kelly, Brandi Carlile, and John Prine.

[@tylerbailey9329]

Best belated-by-one-day birthday present ever!

I'm seeing a distinct lack of Clipping. Visions of Bodies Being Burned was a TIGHT album.

A shame Creeper wasn't on the honorable mentions. Sex, Death and the Infinite Void is in my Top 3, this year.

[@jeffreychandler8418]

he was kinda lukewarm on the album. It was good for sure, I think what hurt it is it wasn't as good as their first album to a lot of people

@@tpags7398 thank you, but I’ll pass ^-^ I’m making my way through RTJ and their peers at the moment, and I’m more of a pop-punk person anyway. Appreciate the offer tho!!

@@thatkidwiththehoodie a good middle ground from pop punk to metalcore is A Day To Remember, they make very catchy and accessible songs

I'm not as big a fan of your number 1 pick as a lot of other people are, but I ABSOLUTELY get the love. For me, the best record of 2020 was Phoebe Bridgers' If We Make It Through December. It not only captured the unrelenting exhaustion of 2020, but it also gave the listener the best possible auditory hug.
