Music: Best album of 2024

[plank]

I prefer the Big Thief version of this one but an excellent album. My third favorite in an outstanding year.

Outstanding year, indeed. Looking forward to your list.

4. Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Past is Still Alive

The Cure’s new record is no joke. I had middling expectations, but this thing might actually be as good as anything they’ve ever done. The question isn’t whether it’s among their best, the question is if it’s the best album they’ve done. It’s right up there with Disintegration and Wish. I’d say it’s better than the latter, but my debate of between it and the former. Worth every year of the 16 year wait.

Yes.

My copy, along with the 2 EP's arrived on October 31st. I've had albums arrive a few days early before but never a full 2 weeks. Same story for many others who pre-ordered(I'm not special).

I'm glad I didn't finalize a list yet. Kim Deal's solo album came out this week, and based on my first listens, it's a contender for top spot.

Opeth - The Last Will and Testament.
