Nme's list of 2020 albums

[Cssomeone 1,432]

I wish someone would make a list comparing all the lists (a kind of Metacritic of lists )

NME tends to prioritize British artists, while Pitchfork does the same with underground hip hop artists and Billboard does it with mainstream artists, for example. That's why their lists are so different

i think what Rina did was great yes but not top 7...maybe top 20

Lol it’s easily top 3 from this year, only FTBC is better.

[Pennywise 34,692]

Rina should be top 3, but this seems to be one of those "we're music snobs who think indie music is the only good music but let's put in some popular records to get those clicks" lists, so I'm talking it with a grain of salt anyway. 

[Mr S 7,601]

I agree with most of the rankings. There seems to be a consensus that her album is #10-#20 on the year which I agree with it.

What happened in the last few months that Fiona Apple’s album, which was “best of the DECADE” to critics is now getting, like, 11th place on year-end lists?  that’s such a shift in public perception lmao

The album is by far the one with the most #1 in year end lists. And totally deserved. I saw some tried to dismiss it as simply 'overrated' because it had a high rating, but its none less of a fantastic album.

Metacritic literally makes this list every year. They score each #1 mention for an album with 3 points, #2 with 2 and #3 with 1. Then they aggregate a compilation of the most acclaimed of the yeat. And ofc FTBC is by far number one.

Any list that does not have Chromatica and Future Nostalgia at 1 and/or 2 is irrelevant.

Oh I agree, I’m just saying I find it a little odd is all.

Run the Jewels are an amazing group. Their last 3 albums have made year end lists in RS, Pitchfork, and NME.

And if you think folklore is better than Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers, you might be delusional
