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] 1 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] squigglycunt 2 points 1 day ago

definitely aura safari - sensory blending

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

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

It's She's Electric Girl for the 13th consecutive year! Wow, what a winner, can't wait to see who takes it next year!

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Zanmu by Ado, she has such an amazing voice. Also; Ado's Utattemita Album, which is a cover album, her performance of crime and punishment gives me shivers.

Return to Hellview - 96 Bitter Beings

All re-recordings, but man is it so noticeable the difference in quality from the originals.

[–] bcgm3 4 points 2 days 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.

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

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

Missed that they had a new album, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

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!

[–] CaptSneeze 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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 days 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.

Jimmy Clifton - Crucified in Christ Not your typical Christian album.

[–] WilhelmStroker 7 points 3 days ago

Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Songs of a Lost World by The Cure

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days 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.

[–] databender 4 points 3 days ago

PowerNerd by Devin Townsend

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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!

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

[–] steeznson 0 points 2 days ago

Thought I'd see more BRAT in this thread. I guess lemmy just doesn't serve cunt like I'd hoped.

Friko’s debut Album Where we’ve Been, Where we go from Here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did not expect to see Friko in here but def agree that the debut is/ was awesome. Are you from Chicago? Has been fun to see them kinda explode over the past year or so.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I live in the burbs so I caught on when they were getting buzz on local Instagram pages and radio play on WXRT. I’m bummed I didn’t go see them at Thalia hall last week, I bet it was a great show.

The Poetic Edda by Synestia and Disembodied Tyrant

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

Mine is 'Sangs of a Lost World' by 'the Cure'. It may even be my favourite Cure album.

I like this a lot. I've never had a record make me hungry before but gawdamn now I want that Cajun suppah.

Beans and okra would be just great right now. My wife made banging cabbage stew yesterday so Imma eat that.

[–] grumpo_potamus 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Past Is Still Alive by Hurray for the Riff Raff.

Easily one of my most played of 2024. Shame I missed them when they came through my city. Loved the songwriting, the music and the singing. The whole album was strong and the vibe resonated with me.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 1 points 1 day ago

Love HFTRR!
