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

[–] linucs@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year 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.

Songs of a Lost World by The Cure

[–] WilhelmStroker@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation.

[–] GoOnASteamTrain@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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!

[–] Hr24@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] missphant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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!

PowerNerd by Devin Townsend

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

Missed that they had a new album, thanks!

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

[–] Sidewalker@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

definitely aura safari - sensory blending

[–] sorrowl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Chaos0f7ife@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Chaos0f7ife@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Matt's Missing by Matt Martians

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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.

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