Top 20 Albums of the 2010's: #4-3

4.Fallujah-Dreamless (2016):
As I stated earlier in the countdown, some sketchy production prevented Fallujah's otherwise masterful 2014 album The Flesh Prevails from achieving perfection. They managed to clean up that minor problem and then some on their follow-up effort Dreamless. By utilizing production that allows every element of their complex puzzle the proper amount of room to breathe and upping the amount of technical guitarwork in every song, Fallujah's mix of balls-out death metal and haunting progressive/atmospheric sections reaches its jaw-dropping peak.
Standout Tracks: 1.Adrenaline 2.Amber Gaze 3.The Void Alone

3.Lana Del Rey-Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019):
While it may be a tired cliché statement to make, Norman Fucking Rockwell! truly is the record Lana Del Rey has been waiting her whole career to make. Behind trippy, textured production predominantly handled by Jack Antonoff that allows her to explore the full extent of her massive vocal range, Del Rey creates the most dense, mesmerizing and mature take on her signature somber vintage meets modern art pop sound to-date. The fact that it's also an emphatic reminder of why she's the undisputed queen of the "sad girl sound" only adds to its quickly-earned classic status.
