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.
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!
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.
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!
I'm not trying to shit on your here but really? A bunch of 90s bands putting out old age money grabs? I assume you didn't mean to misspell Blues Traveler.
And I'm waiting for the punch like this person has to have a good one and it's fucking Disturbed? Ohh ah ah ah ah, Disturbed? Yeah I liked them when I was a young teen when that came out. Fuck my life I came to this thread hoping for new shit. You have to be joking.
I'm not even the person you're replying to, but you're formally invited to kiss my ass anyway. When op asked for "your" album of the year, they didn't mean you specifically.
Didn't realize I put the extra "s" in "Traveler". Also, to each their own. Never got to experience any of these albums growing up since I wasn't there to experience the 90s and was too young to be able explore the 2000s metal scene until at least the 2010s (if I had become interested in it) and appreciate it. So, I definitely stick with picking stuff I've started listening to relatively recently over something new, especially since I'm not a big fan of modern English pop music and don't have any albums from any foreign bands/singers I like (assuming they still do CDs).
I'm with Ace, I don't think I could name an album from the past 5 years. Artists and songs, sure, but I'm not looking up album titles, or even listening to an entire one from start to finish.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.

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.
