Top 100 Music Albums of 2020

Another year, another year chart. Are year charts a way to track the best music of a given year? Or are they a signpost of another year that has passed, a substitute for more traditional anniversaries brought on by our incessant need to rate and rank? As time passes, we will grow weaker. Leaders will rise and fall, fads will begin and end. Entire civilizations may be destroyed. But year charts will remain, every year, appearing like clockwork. When did they start? What is their purpose? There is only one thing we can be sure of: they will never end.
(everything i've heard is here, high scores are better than low ones, my comments suck, blah blah blah)
(This has been a really weird year for me musically. For the past few years I've listened to ~100 new albums and typically between 25-30 of those end up crossing the 70 plateau. This year I've already got nearly 20 of those and the year isn't even half over. But despite that, only two albums have crossed the 80 threshold. So I guess this year has had a lot of consistent quality but no real standout releases. It's possible a lot of the current 70s and 75s starts to inch up as I listen to them more, so I guess we'll see what happens as the year goes on.)
(I'm still short on albums I love but the year seems to have evened out as the quality has dipped as the year's gone on. Either that or I've finally hit the age where I don't like new music.)

70/100
Hungarian folk metal
Ohhhh yeah. After peaking in late 2016, my interest in metal has steadily declined since. Lately metal albums either really bore me or really hit, and I typically can tell within the first minute or so what it's going to be. This one was a definite hit. A cool mix of progressive metal, Hungarian folk, and progressive electronic, it feels like a journey and mixes the styles really well. That last point is probably the most important part - for all the things this album tries nothing ever seems out of place. The styles segue together really well, even on the second track which has this kind of funk metal thing going on. Do not sleep on this like I did! [First added to this chart: 07/18/2020]

I'm giving this chart a rating of 100 for the insightful and thoughtful comments (I wish I could work out and verbalise why I do or don't like an album as much as you seem to be able to) even though you diss a lot of my favourite albums of the year :-)
