00. Discos 2020
A continuación encontraréis el listado de mis discos favoritos de 2020, dividido en tres partes.
La primera fue publicada en mi página de fb a lo largo del año. Al principio pensé en ella simplemente como un ir apuntando los discos del año que me gustaban, a modo de diario, pero con el tiempo la fui retocando para intentar, si no definir una “estética”, sí ceñirme en ella a discos que pienso que tienen un cierto “espacio”, una cierta “pegada”, algo que no sabría definir.
La segunda es un complemento de la primera, y tiene la misión de recuperar cosas que mi pseudocriterio estaba excluyendo. No significa que sean menos buenos. No es un “honorable mentions” ni nada de eso. Es lo que he dado en llamar el “suplemento esotérico”, y se publica aquí por primera vez.
La tercera añade quince títulos más a los cinco discos de metal que hay en la primera parte, para formar una especie de Top 20 metalero del 2020. Aunque las divisiones estilísticas me son mayormente ajenas, todos están en la Encyclopaedia Metallum. También fue publicada previamente en mi página de fb.
Ningún orden es de preferencia.
En lo sucesivo todos los contenidos que aparezcan en Oídos Sordos serán exclusivos.
