Worst Albums of 2020
Obviously, I had to listen to the album to give an honest review. Not that I was expecting anything amazing, but this album is completely horrific. The production sounds cheap, and the lyrics are just random. It's like he's made up his own words most of the time. Nothing he says makes sense. I tried so hard to get through this whole thing, and at the end, I felt severely distressed and exhausted. Please take it from me: don't listen to this. I've never heard such talentless, cheap noises in my life. The worst album of 2020. Nothing can be worse than this.
I listened to this last night, and man alive, I needed time to calm down. This generic pop, thinly disguised as country, is garbage. It will go number one on the Billboard 200 next week. Sam Hunt's rapping has all the personality of a toilet flush, making Lil Dicky seem like Kendrick Lamar. The framing and songwriting of so many of these songs made me think that this girl should get an AVO against Sam Hunt.
This is way worse than his other album Montevallo. This is also way worse than any country album I've ever heard. Sam Hunt is a derivative artist, and he has some of the worst songs of all time on this album.
This album is a lazy, slapdash slog full of tropes that plagued the worst music of the mid-2010s. Justin Bieber's songwriting is basic, with no emotional pathos for the listener to really connect to what he is singing about. His singing, for the majority of the album, is passionless except for one or two songs. He sounds bored, like singing these songs was just something for him to do. We've moved past the Chris Brown meets Drake sound now, Justin. You should too.
This is embarrassing. Aren't artists supposed to evolve? This is more juvenile than the music he started out with. I'll be honest, I've never liked him, but I will admit that during the "Purpose" era, I did like his music. I thought the whole EDM and tropical sound suited him. Now he's gone backward. He lost me with that "Yummy" song. I've heard some of the songs from this album and, yeah... I mean, with the lead single, I wasn't really expecting much anyway.
After listening to this crap and realizing how bad it is, I have finally learned my huge lesson: rock probably can't be saved. It's not just about popularity. It's a matter of time. I also learned that rock music alone is not necessarily good music. Sure, it has appeal, but... yeah. Same problem with Greta Van Fleet too. You know what makes good music? Just rock? Heck no. It needs to make sense and have a unique appeal to be good music. But this album is just boomer stuff and makes no sense at all. Green Day, I still love you, but I can't look at you right now.
I think Megan is a decent rapper, but this album felt messy and way too short. There are only two songs I like on this thing out of nine songs, and everything else is forgettable.
Megan is really wasting her potential on terrible lyrics, just like Nicki and Cardi.
I think I might have found a female rapper that I despise more than Cardi B.
Give us something new. She's not even trying to evolve. It's just the same old-sounding songs she's been giving us since the first album. This album was delayed a few times, but to be honest, if this was the best she had to offer after countless delays, then was it really worth the long wait?
I feel sorry for her a little. She clearly doesn't have the right people behind her, and it shows. They're trying to push a sound she's already done. It comes off as desperate and sounds extremely generic at this point. They have to realize she's never going to get the same hit songs she had in the past, so stop pushing it. Move on and evolve.
Complete disappointment. There are only like three good songs on here, and they don't even hold a candle to the good songs off Baby On Baby and KIRK. I feel like Dababy really needs to take a bit of a break.
Well, it's DaBaby. Did you really expect it to be anything more than mediocre? All of his music is mediocre and forgettable, just like his trash name.
Drama aside, this guy was destined to fall off. There are only two good songs here anyway.
Not everything is hating. Saying that Nick Cannon is bad at rapping is not hating. Saying his Eminem diss was weak isn't hating. It's just the truth.
What is that title? Also, Nick Cannon is washed up. He should honestly just stop.
The Newcomers
Why did this clown have to drop a second time? We don't need him to make another album that is more half-baked and nasally than the first one. 38 Baby 2 was alright, but this definitely sounded rushed. And again, those awful vocals.
Yes, it's actually out, but this album is awful! The vocals are hideous sounding. What the hell is this?
It's basically him doing baby voices with a lot of grit, which are two things that should never go together. 1/10.
Generic pop-rock without any soul to it. It feels bland, mundane, and just plain awful. Tyler Connolly sounds lazy here, like on most TOAD albums, not caring about sounding good or giving any effort at all. The lyrics are about as deep as a kid in a ball pit, almost nonexistent. At this rate, I have more faith in Nickelback's next album.
*listens to the album for the first time* What the hell is this? Naming a song after one of the most infamous serial killers in history and glorifying him?! Well, there's one band I'll never be able to listen to ever again!
*listens to Angel for the 13th time*
*whimpers in utter disappointment*
I don't really hate this album, but there are issues with the production not supporting Selena's voice.
It's funny. This album actually has the highest user score of any album this year on Metacritic.
Testament dropped everything remotely good about their last album, and the production is even more atrocious than on Exodus's Rob Dukes trilogy.
It's NAV, so I really don't care for it. Actually, I listened to the album, and it's better than the other two, but I still don't care for it because it's not good.
It's a Nav album. What do you expect? I stopped listening to him after Bad Habits because Bad Habits was unlistenable.
Yo Gotti might just be the most boring non-new-school rapper in the game at this point.
With a title like that, it's easy to see why this is on the list.
What even is this? And how is a generic Justin Bieber album above this?
Not as horrible as his debut album from 2019, but still pretty bad. Although the one thing that saves it is the good beats.
Rating: 3/10
SoundCloud rap has definitely run its course, and Trippie Redd just doesn't sound like he's trying on this album. Also, most features just don't add up, especially Chris Clown's.
The fact that this is 26 tracks long and almost 10 songs are duds. The features are off too. I was really hoping to like this album, but Pegasus felt way too long.
