Best albums of 2020
Nobody could tour, so records were finished at home and released without a plan or a rollout. Quiet, interior albums did unusually well, partly because there was nowhere to play the loud ones and partly because everyone was sitting still for the first time.
According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of 2020 is Lamb of God by Lamb of God, rated 4.5/5 by 11 listeners.
