Mine would be Flight B741 by King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard https://youtu.be/Ik-gBAlEbQY

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] anomnom 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

Missed that they had a new album, thanks!

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

PowerNerd by Devin Townsend

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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!

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.

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

Enjoyed 'Yesterwynde' by Nightwish a lot last year

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

The opera singer Lisette Oropesa's Mozart aria album. An absolute perfect voice with impeccable technique.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

definitely aura safari - sensory blending

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

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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 Poetic Edda by Synestia and Disembodied Tyrant

[–] jwiggler 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Night Palace by Mount Eerie for me

Maybe seconded by The New Sound by Geordie Greep

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

"Real Death" will always be the first song I think about when hearing someone mention "Mount Eerie"

The album that was released in 2024 that got the most plays was The Queen of Spades by Koan.

The album that I played the most was Unfold (2020) by Icarus
