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.
Katie Crutchfield's first Waxahatchee album in three years (and fifth overall) finds her backed by the band Bonny Doon. Saint Cloud's subject matter alludes to addiction and Crutchfield's recent sobriety.
“Saint Cloud offers us the best possible version of Crutchfield she could possibly give us. The record is made by someone who was always whispering, finally having the confidence and courage to speak up and sing unrestrained. It demands to be listened to.” —Consequence of Sound
