The 20 Best Albums of 2020 So Far
Which albums have impressed critics the most during the first half of the year? Above, we rank the best-reviewed LPs released between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 by Metascore. Albums must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible, and resissues, EPs, live albums, and compilations are excluded.
Featuring contributions from Pharrell Williams, Zack de la Rocha, Josh Homme, and Mavis Staples (plus the requisite 2 Chainz appearance), the long-awaited fourth LP from the duo of Killer Mike and El-P did not disappoint. The average Metascore for their four studio albums, by the way? It's a mere 88.5.
“Easily Mike and El-P’s best work to date, ‘RTJ4’ is protest music for a new generation; they’re armed in the uprising with a torrent of spirited rallying calls.” —NME
