Only an album I already own from 2017 (nothing on my wishlist for the moment):
Sciencing (2017) by Millionaire
I bought this album because some of the albums of this Belgian band are OK but this one isn't so I'm removing it from my year chart.

Two albums of 2018 I listened to:
First an album I already own/know:
Echoes In Blue (2018) by City Calm Down
They sound a bit like The National although maybe with a touch of New Order. Not a bad album which goes from the 73rd to the 74th rank.
And an album from my wishlist:
Lost And Found (2018) by En Attendant Ana
Perfect French jangly dream rock and the middle three tracks starting from This Could Be are the perfect examples. A very fine debut album of this band who would make other fine music later on and this one lands at the 47th rank of the year.

Two albums of 2019 I listened to:
An album I already own/know:
Close It Quietly (2019) by Frankie Cosmos
One of those years where I have more than 100 albums in my year chart. This albums weighs a bit too light to make it to the top 100.
And an album from my wishlist:
In League With Dragons (2019) by The Mountain Goats
The albums of this band flow by nicely and there is certainly some quality in them but in fact only Young is able to keep my attention so not really good enough to make it to my year chart.

Two albums of 2020 I listened to:
First an album I already own/know:
Mind Freeze (2020) by Haunt
I quite like this album which in my opinion one of the better metal albums of the 2020's. Not really inventive but I love the twin guitar attacks on many of the tracks. The album moves down from the 42st to the 59th rank of the year.
And an album from my wishlist:
Working Men's Club (2020) by Working Men's Club
A bit of a mix between New Order and LCD Soundsystem. It has some good grooves but the songs especially in the middle section are a bit bloodless. The long closer is quite interesting though because it goes in all directions without loosing its main groove. The album only just enters my top 100 of the year at the 98th rank.

Thx Repo, I listened to it and the guitar pyrotechnics are definitely there and although I miss some great songwriting quality it's certainly an album for my year chart. Talking about new/old metal albums, the newly already released tracks of the new Megadeth album seem to be good although I don't know what their "cover" (not according to Dave Mustaine) of Ride The Lightning will give.
