15 Best Hard Rock & Metal Albums Of 2020 (So Far)

For the past few months of 2020, it feels like the world is on fire. Whether it's the pandemic at play or the political discourse happening around the world, there's no disputing that the times have been fairly tense. Our problems may not be easy to fix, but Spanish Love Songs' album Brave Faces Everyone might give us a bit of comfort.

Make no mistake, this album is fairly dark and touches on the struggles of the Everyman in a very blunt manner. However, the mix of punk and folk laced throughout turn these songs into outright bangers rather than just woeful tales of pity. Covering topics like low income, mental health, and the pain of growing old, these guys have the playbook on modern pain and writing about every single step. Songs like "Generation Loss" and "Routine Pain" won't necessarily make you feel better for having listened to them, but it does give you a friend in the middle of all the chaos.

In the ultimate oxymoron, these songs about the cruel reality of the times actually end up making you feel stronger after the entire experience. There aren't a lot of set answers in the world today, but with Braves Faces Everyone, we all be able to endure it together.
