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.
I forgot SMILE :D released this year! Also a really great album!
It really is! Although I still believe nothing will beat Nurture. That’s not just Album of the year, it’s the GOAT.
definitely aura safari - sensory blending
Time II by Wintersun. It was a long wait, but I’d almost call it worth it, 'cause the album is so good.
Brat
The Last Dinner Party’s Prelude to Ecstasy.
NOTHING MATTAHS
The opera singer Lisette Oropesa’s Mozart aria album. An absolute perfect voice with impeccable technique.
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!
Mine would be Flight B741 by King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard https://youtu.be/Ik-gBAlEbQY
WOO
That’s fucking beautiful Long live King Jizz!
The New Sound by Geordie Greep though this was a stellar year for albums imo and it’s hard to pick just one
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!
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!
Still haven’t listened to the new Cure album. But Romance is probably my AOTY. Nobody Loves You More is great.
- Do Not Go To War With The Demons Of Mazandaran by Lowen.
- Erosion / Avulsion by Hidden Mothers
- Bloom & Decay by Dawn Treader
- Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation
- Hellfenlic by The Infernal Sea
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.
PowerNerd by Devin Townsend
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.
