Rest in order, just because I am selfish I wanna know what I have listen.

I dont know how to put suxer albums A-Z or Z-A what sucks more, I chose A-Z system so from 369 all was bad, biggest led down is 369 then what I thought was let down but not so bad as that band.

Every metal album I've heard so far from 2020 rated 5/10 or more. My tastes are predominately thrash, heavy and power metal (I was a teenager in the 80s!). I loved a lot of black and death metal in the 90s but I find it hard to get excited by much extreme stuff in my old age. The odd thing still tickles my fancy though.

1.Enslaved - Utgard

2.Bütcher - 666 Goats Carry My Chariot

3.Finntroll - Vredesvävd

4.Myrkur - Folkesange

5.Sepultura - Quadra

Brutally honest take on new albums I have listened and rated/commented in 2020 from best to worst.

My ratings:

✮✮✮✮✮ = "Yippee ki yay, motherfucker!"
✮✮✮✮½ = "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
✮✮✮✮ = "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
✮✮✮½ = "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum."
✮✮✮ = "You're a disease? And I'm the cure."
✮✮½ = "Cowabunga!"
✮✮ = "I see dead people."
✮½ = "No not the bees! Aaaaahhhh!!1"
✮ = "It's turkey time. Gobble. Gobble."
½ = "I don't like sand."

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

1.Psychonaut - Unfold The God Man

2.Elder - Omens

3.Regarde Les Hommes Tomber - Ascension

4.Pure Reason Revolution - Eupnea

5.Barishi - Old Smoke
