Different pick from most, but I really enjoyed "SMILE! :D" by Porter Robinson. I might be biased though. Porter is my all time favorite artist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I forgot SMILE :D released this year! Also a really great album!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It really is! Although I still believe nothing will beat Nurture. That's not just Album of the year, it's the GOAT.

The New Sound by Geordie Greep though this was a stellar year for albums imo and it's hard to pick just one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Agree with the whole comment but yeah I love every song of The New Sound, especially The Magician. Also I "discovered" black midi at the beginning of the year and was sad to learn they splitted, thankfully Greep released this masterpiece.

Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation.

Songs of a Lost World by The Cure

Ooh another opportunity to yell from the rooftops how great "Nobody Loves You More" by Kim Deal is! :) Honestly a fully fantastic album that I love. :)

"Romance" by Fontaines DC was another brilliant one!

ooh and the new Cure album!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A friend of mine put on that Kim Deal album for me the other day when we were talking about albums that came out this year. I’ve only heard it the one time so far, but agree it was great!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Still haven't listened to the new Cure album. But Romance is probably my AOTY. Nobody Loves You More is great.

I haven't listened yet but holy shit that first album cover is the most realistic depiction of the shit I see while tripping. Mate that with Mayan shit and mating in general. Although it already has the mating down.

I like Sleep.

Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, though almost shared 1st place with Charli XCX' BRAT remix album.

PowerNerd by Devin Townsend

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

Definitely a tie between Where Have "All The Merrymakers Gone?" (Harvey Danger), "Example" (Four Squirrels), and "Four" (Blues Travelers). Definitely my most played and favorite albums of 2024.

As of this year, it's looking like "Ten Thousand Fists" (Disturbed) is taking the lead as my favorite. We could see an upset folks!

The only "real" album that came out in 2024 that I listened to start-to-finish was Hyperdrama by Justice. It got a lot of flak online for being "uninspired" etc etc, but I think that mostly speaks to how great their first two studio albums were. The opening track on this one features Tame Impala and has an equally awesome music video.

After that, second place would be a tie between two 2024 live albums: ¡Blow it … at Madison's Quinceañera! by Me First and The Gimme Gimmes and Beast of Horns by They Might Be Giants. I got the latter on vinyl for Christmas and it's a lot of fun if you're a fan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Hey someone else who likes Justice and They Might Be Giants!

Missed that they had a new album, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

The year just started, I haven't even had a chance to record my annual 12 Farts Of The Year yet..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Cure - ERRA

They had a hard act to follow after their nearly perfect self-titled album, but Cure was almost as good, and that is mighty praise indeed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Enjoyed 'Yesterwynde' by Nightwish a lot last year

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Time II by Wintersun. It was a long wait, but I'd almost call it worth it, 'cause the album is so good.
