Re: EOY 2020 - Treble (US)
This is the most interesting songs list I've seen so far. I was beginning to think I was crazy for liking "Never Come Back" so much.
Re: EOY 2020 - Treble (US)
"Never Come Back" and "You and I" should both be getting more attention for sure. I think I like them both more than "Home," which did decently well with critics last year.

Re: EOY 2020 - Treble (US)
Great to see Oranssi Pazuzu – Mestarin Kynsi so high up their regular list. Good list in general.
Re: EOY 2020 - Treble (US)
Agreed. It was never going to be name-checked on these EoYs at the level that Ohms is or Fear Inoculum was last year but I'm glad it's at least getting mentioned. It's a shame that Imperial Triumphant's Alphaville didn't make either list.
