Top Albums 2020, 5-1

In 2020 my listening habits changed in both when and where. Though I heard fewer albums compared to previous years, I did my best to keep up with as many albums as possible and maintained a list of music that stood out. As the year ends, I took the opportunity to revisit the releases that stayed in heavy rotation.

As with the lists from the previous years, the criteria are an unscientific combination of groundbreaking new musical direction, memorable, captivating, and fun. In short, albums that I think are worth continued listening.
