ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 7, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted December 7, 2020 ugh, i had this long respnose typed out but atrl ate it! anyway, this is a great top 5. i enjoy all 5 of these albums and am happy to see that your top 3 from rina is correct. she has like 3-4 songs that i dont like on the album but the rest is pretty top notch. the fact that the guy from clipping is in hamilton takes me out of the fantasy sometimes but im learning to live with it
SLIME Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 cool top 5!!! I haven't heard Clipping yet but great mix of sounds. OK! I see you. I do believe in HIFN supremacy, though.

Oh wow I actually have more of an appreciation for the album now with this diversity
BlackoutZone Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 SAWAYAMA at #1 surprised me a bit! It's definitely a good album, but it's losing with time for me, still love it tho! And of course FN aoty Really good stand outs from both too!

FN vs Sawayama was a very hard decision, personally I listen to FN WAY more and I see myself listening to it for a much longer time, but Sawayama is a way better crafted album and showcases many of Rina's talents through its tracklist, it's such an impressive album. Rina has the edge because of the musicianship she showed over FN which is mostly just well crafted bops.
Sunderland 4ever Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen Charli XCX's album in many people's lists. Anyway, my favorite here is definitely Future Nostalgia. Edited December 7, 2020 by Sunderland 4ever
Ewan Chaos Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 That Clipping album seems like a RYM-only-loving kinda album LMFAO but lemme add it to my list. But overall your top 5 is flawless! Especially an RTJ4 inclusion and your picks for Sawayama.
Smilers Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 great top 10 of the ones I've heard I loved all of them. Gonna have to give SHYGIRL a try since I keep seeing it popping up.

VOBBB is definitely very abrasive and not that accessible, but it's an amazing horror concept album, I do recommend it. RTJ4 is such an amazing album, I didn't really like it at first because I felt like RTJ3 pushes the envelope a bit more but it definitely grew on me a whole lot, might be my favourite album of theirs now 2 hours ago, Smilers said: great top 10 of the ones I've heard I loved all of them.

Lazuli Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 YAAAAAAS RINA totally deserves the #1 how i'm feeling now and future nostalgia are also top 5 worthy
perpetual novice Posted December 8, 2020 Author Posted December 8, 2020 Final update! Thanks all for your feedback and comments, I'll see you all next year for my next Best Of Here's some honourable mentions to close off my list. (in no specific order) These works are still worth checking out, although they missed my Top 50. 1. Sega Bodega - Salvador 2. Ellie Goulding - Brightest Blue 3. Troye Sivan - In a Dream 4. Lianne La Havas - Lianna La Havas 5. Hayley Williams - Petals for Armour 6. Leon - Apart
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted December 8, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted December 8, 2020 SAWAYAMA at #1 the collapse Dua at #2 too We were truly blessed with some pop excellence this year Ellie in your honorable mentions too

mokitsu Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 i loooove your HMs (except leon, havent checked her out). kinda suprised @ you prefering the 2nd disc of Brightest blue i only really love close to me. Lianne's album is my favorite

Lianne's album is my favorite Definitely check Leon out, she has an amazing voice I recommend "You and I" from her 2019 album or "And It Breaks My Heart" from her 2020 one. As for Ellie I just felt like her album didn't really have a solid direction, it was mostly just meh tracks throughout, none that were bad but none amazing either, the pop tracks were bops though.
Ewan Chaos Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Hayley, Lianne, and Troye's EP in your HM's Leon's album was much better than her last effort, so it does deserve a bit of praise!

Post Malone Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 In A Dream deserved to make it I only heard Brightest Blue and it was a disappointment
Remmy Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 how i'm feeling now could've been better overall, but there's several highlights in there Future Nostalgia + SAWAYAMA are both very, very strong. You chose the superior one for your #1, so that's great! pink diamond, visions, Physical, Levitating, Dynasty & XS Ellie and especially Troye/Hayley in your HMs Well damn this is over already??? Pretty solid Best Of!
