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!
Still haven’t listened to the new Cure album. But Romance is probably my AOTY. Nobody Loves You More is great.
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!
Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, though almost shared 1st place with Charli XCX’ BRAT remix album.
Thought I’d see more BRAT in this thread. I guess lemmy just doesn’t serve cunt like I’d hoped.
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.
- 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.

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.
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…
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 Last Dinner Party’s Prelude to Ecstasy.
NOTHING MATTAHS
Jimmy Clifton - Crucified in Christ Not your typical Christian album.
