1. Fiona Apple: Fetch the Bolt Cutters (2020

There some that I can take issue with for sure. But they definitely got No. 1 correct.

Have at it Trag.

[dad]

I get why they included a couple of albums from 2019, but...it still defeats the purpose of calling it the best of the 2020s.

[Farmer John]

A lot of those sound made up

Pitchfork doesn't really exist, right? That's probably AI generated. Does anyone really think there is someone called "Jim Legxacy" or "Rx Papi / Gud" in the real world?

[i got bugs]

Not much into white guys who play rock n roll

Right?!

Fiona Apple? You expect me to believe that's a real person? Nice try, Pitchfork.

[BurtReynolds]

Fiona Apple’s Fetch the Bolt Cutters is a raw, unfiltered exploration of trauma, liberation, and the complexities of womanhood, delivered with a startling immediacy that defies conventional songwriting. Each track unfurls like a diary entry, as Apple’s distinctive piano work and unconventional rhythms intertwine with her candid, often confessional lyrics. The album’s jagged production, marked by the clatter of household objects and the embrace of imperfections, mirrors the emotional chaos Apple navigates, creating a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and expansive. Songs like “Shameika” and “I Want You to Love Me” showcase her unyielding vulnerability, transforming personal pain into universal truths. In a world that often silences female voices, Fetch the Bolt Cutters is a triumphant declaration of self, a masterclass in artistic courage that redefines what it means to be heard.

Bridgers and Polachek should have broken the top 10. Cool to see Amaarae and Alex G fairly high up.

Lol @ Playboi Carti claiming the #2 spot. Stupid.
