smholiv Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Almost as soon as the 2020s began, the world faced an unprecedented state of uncertainty. In times like these music, as with culture, often looks inward, taking a moment to contemplate. Each of these women (and female fronted band Wolf Alice) spent the last decade building careers on embracing the good, the bad, and the dark. As a new decade turned, they brought their characteristic sense of self-understanding with them. With all of these albums recorded and released during the height of the pandemic, there is a notable undercurrent of pain and introspection. The results are six intriguing and thoughtful albums, and it is our job to rate them. Each of the albums included received notoriety in either 2020 or 2021. Click below to find out more.

smholiv Posted September 1, 2022 Author Posted September 1, 2022 A couple of these girls have released 2022 albums too. It should be interesting to see if we could do a part 2 in the future with releases from this year!
ATRL Moderator Ace Reject Posted September 1, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted September 1, 2022 Thanks sis!
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted September 1, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted September 1, 2022 “Care” and “Valentine” need to slay!
smholiv Posted September 3, 2022 Author Posted September 3, 2022 I'm rooting for Indigo, I feel like she's got the album people are least acquainted with but it was my AOTY of 2021, narrowly beating out SOUR.
greento Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 Working on this now!! I know at least a few songs from all the albums already, Blue Weekend and Any Shape You Take are the ones I know best but I’m gonna give everyone fair scores
greento Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Sent!!! I think every album has a song deserving of the top 10 here, here’s what it should look like with at least 1 song per album imo: Emo Song Further Away circle the drain Valentine How Can I Make It Ok? The Beach II Darker Than Death Real Pain Amoeba Joanie i feel like the results for this will be good cuz only people with taste are gonna send for this Edited September 12, 2022 by greento
smholiv Posted September 12, 2022 Author Posted September 12, 2022 yasss thank you!! the results will be interesting for sure, its a pretty solid lineup of albums
