Posted December 30, 2024Dec 30 Just a brief one here, a one page post of my favourite albums and songs this year, albums to be enjoyed as a whole, and then specific songs I've really enjoyed playing on their own.Β OPe7tn_Hju4 56SfTg1aWe4Β 1. Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk 2. Mori Calliope - Phantomime 3. Bring Me The Horizon - Post Human: Nex Gen 4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - NO ALBUM TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD 5. Charli XCX - Brat 6. Parannoul - Sky Hundred 7. Fat Dog - WOOF! 8. Nightwish - Yesterwynde 9. Fleshgod Apocalypse - Opera 10. Linkin Park - From ZeroΒ started really focusing again on album listening in the second half of the year and in fact have added some great catalogue albums to my favourites, such as M83's Before The Dawn Heals Us and Lana Del Rey's Norman f***ing Rockwell, but for 2024 releases I think Magdalena Bay takes it quite comfortably, flawless album from start to finish. My fave Mori Calliope did good this year too, often at this stage the shine wears off for me but she put out the best full-length she's done to date in Phantomime with really well-constructed pop throughout it. Β Bring Me The Horizon's Post Humans are always good and Nex Gen really does the job well. GY!BE I started listening to when they dropped their album focused on the horrors we see in Gaza, Brat is brat, Sky Hundred is a fantastic little album, WOOF! was great if a little short, Yesterwynde the same if a little long, operatic metal from Fleshgod Apocalypse and a very welcome return from Linkin Park...Β anyway I hope to bring you more albums next time as I probably continue to be very interested in rating them on sites promoting good-musicΒ like Album Of The Year (not plug it's just a really fun site)Β SRXH9AbT280 LxxlN_FhLacΒ 1. Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine 2. Bring Me The Horizon - Top 10 Statues That Cried Blood 3. BABYMETAL & Electric Callboy - RATATATA 4. Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue 5. Visions Of Atlantis - Tonight I'm Alive 6. IRyS - Carbonated Love 7. Charli XCX - 360 8. Mori Calliope - Last Days 9. Beast In Black - Power Of The Beast 10. Deathbrain - Stargazing With YouΒ to not make this too long I begin to notice a theme, and that theme is that the majority of these 10 are hard-hitting whirlwind rock songs that put the best of emo rock to the test and to be honest, 2024 has been great at providing those moments - The Emptiness Machine, Statues, and RATATATA forming a holy trinity of songs I have played hugely this year and all still sound perfect. Also a landmark Eurovision entry in Doomsday Blue, Eurobeat with Carbonated Love, a very addictive pop song in 360, a great ballad in Last Days, more power metal with Power Of The Beast and even some breakcore with Stargazing With You.Β anyway check all those out if you want good music/experience my sound that is mostly made up of unsubtle rock and/or synths, see you all next year
December 30, 2024Dec 30 Yay for Brat and From Zero making it in! as for singles I am into The Emptiness Machine, RATATATA and 360!Β Need to finally hear Magdalena Bay's album too
January 4Jan 4 hey Iz ~ what I know and like from the lists:Β 1. Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk -> I did end up giving this a listen, rather good all around although 'Cry For Me' really stands out above the rest of it and I was hoping for some more big moments like that 5. Charli XCX - Brat -> such a good pop album, certainly glad it was such a moment in the year 7. Fat Dog - WOOF! -> they're certainly one of my faves around now, hopefully it's not long before their second album given how short this one is though 8. Nightwish - Yesterwynde -> they may very well have a song in my EOY top 10 along with Fat Dog *_* 10. Linkin Park - From Zero -> I was never really into them back in the day so this is the first full album I've heard of theirs, Emptiness Machine certainly did a lot of the heavy lifting for it anyhow so a worthy #1 single hereΒ 1. Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine 3. BABYMETAL & Electric Callboy - RATATATA 4. Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blue 5. Visions Of Atlantis - Tonight I'm Alive 7. Charli XCX - 360 9. Beast In Black - Power Of The Beast 10. Deathbrain - Stargazing With YouΒ
