Not yet haven taken part in the album of the year lists, my exploration of 2020 is very patchy. I'm rather surprised I find 10 things to list, if some of these are somewhat doubtful regarding qualification. Still much catching up to do.
 
Cisnienie - Brass Album
Anna von Hausswolff - All Thoughts Fly
Zopp - s/t
Schnellertollermeier - 5
Battlestations - Inform
Jaga Jazzist - Pyramid
Mariana Semkina - Sleepwalking
iamthemorning - Counting the Ghosts (EP)
Arch Garrison - The Bitter Lay
ZOFFF - Confinement/release 5

Best album (non prog): Steven Fellows - Slow Glass

Great series of polls! Thanks to Paul for starting this and to you for taking over and leading us into the current decade. I'll come back to these for reference a lot I think.

Nice to see The Reticent - The Oubliette mentioned here, excellent album, sadly overlooked gem. 

I like these albums quoted above. Thumbs Up

I'm surprised I can still somehow assemble a Top 10 albums list for every year so far in this most recent of decades, and with that in mind, I'm going back to the future now for Mirakaze's 2016 albums poll. Smile
