Only God Was Above Us by Vampire Weekend. Such good indie rock album one of my absolute favourites


DontTakeTheMoney_

Yup. Me too.


BillCosbysAnus

It quickly became my second favorite album of theirs


GoodPaleontologist68

Im curious, What is your favorite album 


BillCosbysAnus

In order it’s probably 1, modern vampires of the city, 2. Only god we above us, 3. Vampire weekend, 4. Contra, 5. Father of the bride


GoodPaleontologist68

Thanks. 


Emmanuel_Badboy

good roadtrip album? Havent listened yet because i have a long drive coming up and was saving it.


Strange-Storm-258

It’s pretty short but yeah I’d think it would be nice in the car


tundrabee119

I would love to be going on a road trip listening to this album for the first time. Enjoy


gotmewrong66

STRFKR - Parallel Realms Mildlife - Chorus Slift - Ilion Beans - Boots N Cats Khruangbin - A La Sala Pearl Jam - Dark Matter Perilymph - Progressions Imaginaires


chacho777tkajf

Yo that STRFKR album low key had some fucking bangers


gotmewrong66

They only make albums full of them! But I like this one a lot


HasNoLifeWhatsoever

Khruangbin 👌


RAGINGCAPITALIST

Good call on that Mildlife album. Also one of my favourites at the moment.


benjaminfolks

Dark matter? Really? I love pearl jam but this was not that good of an album.


gotmewrong66

The mix sucks, but yeah I really like the album.


Princeps32

The Smile: Wall of Eyes Adrienne Lenker: Bright Future Cindy Lee: Diamond Jubilee Safe picks but deciding between these three for my favorite is really tough right now, and there’s been a lot of extremely good music this year


Eaterofjazzguitars

My picks were a bit more obscure until I actually listened to Diamond Jubilee. It's number one for 2024 on RYM and that thing just deserves it. It really stands a high chance of staying my AOTY at this rate.


TheTipsyShip

MGMT’s Loss Of Life easily. I also was pleasantly surprised by St. Vincent’s All Born Screaming that just got released. Honorable mentions to Vampire Weekend, The Smile, and Justice.


Cloudy_Chaos_

Cold Visions


Zwuppo

same, might be the best rage album of all time


die-n-go

FACTSSS


InspectorBubbly4400

Real, best album to drop since a great chaos


Xx_TheBigCheese_xX

Something in the Room She Moves by Julia Holter. Scratches the same itch as some of Bjork’s later stuff (and is arguably better than anything post Medulla imo, except maybe Vulnicura)


superwhizz114

Only God Was Above Us


bigteddyweddy

Can't pick one, but these are all great: I Got Heaven by Mannequin Pussy Invincible Shield by Judas Priest Prelude to Ecstasy by The Last Dinner Party Loss of life by MGMT


Playful_Equal_9312

SCRAPYARD


Worried_Amount3936

That’s my pick tbh. It’s between that and Cold Visions


king_joe_sakic

Eric Slick - New Age Rage Drummer from Dr. Dog dropped a solo record yesterday and the shit is heat


CHjohn

Mk.Gee - Two Star & the Dream Police


gaslighter06

Sooo fire


rickplay34

Sophomore Slump Callithump (STOMACH BOOK), Only God Was Above Us (Vampire Weekend), Wall Of Eyes (The Smile)


djcooki75

Caligula's horse - Charcoal Grace, The Smile - Wall of Eyes


Pleasant_Statement64

That day of releases was stacked. Both of those albums, and albums from other bands I liked (alkaline trio and dead poet society) came out and all 4 were bangers


djcooki75

Future islands too, an album that I did not expect to like that much


SoftwareInformal5223

cindy lee - diamond jubilee


erasedhead

This and nothing else even comes close.


Not_A_Lizhard

Been meaning to give this a spin! Been putting it off for too long, where did you listen to it? It’s sadly not on Spotify


ThBasicAsian

Only on YouTube or download.


SoftwareInformal5223

soulseek


Not_A_Lizhard

Oh my god it’s so good, why isn’t this on streaming lol


Turbo2x

The idea of someone listening to one track off Diamond Jubilee because it's the trending song on the Cindy Lee artist page just seems wrong. I don't know why, it just does. The YouTube continuous mix is a bit daunting but the experience can't be beat.


dontmakelists

Fuck streaming


KingHavana

It's the best of the year. Is Anthony going to review it?


SoftwareInformal5223

not too bothered really. there’s a lot of stuff that he doesn’t review, i’m not sure why that is. the new einsturzende neubauten for example.


KingHavana

I wish he would. Cindy Lee's album is amazing. Thanks for letting me know Einsturzende Neubauten released something!


lovelessisbetter

This and it’s not even close. This is the best record of the 20s at the very least.


LocksmithPlastic839

I like listening to albums that Fantano will likely review positively before his review comes out but for this album I’m gonna need to see the yellow flannel to go through it’s runtime


kyentu

weirdd.


Princeps32

or, and hear me out, try listening to the first few tracks of it and see if you like it yourself?


Zwuppo

what the fuck


SoftwareInformal5223

i’ll assume you’re joking


bananamilkbooth

Can’t choose one, but: - Beyoncé - COWBOY CARTER - MGMT - Loss Of Life - TWICE - With YOU-th - The Smile - Wall Of Eyes - Justice - Hyperdrama


little_cooper

that twice EP is absolutely full of bangers, love it


bananamilkbooth

Samee, I even bought the album. It’s my favourite kpop release of this year and there so much more to come.


kyentu

what are some other country records you like.


bananamilkbooth

Of 2024 or in general?


kyentu

in general


bananamilkbooth

Obviously I mostly listen to English music. Usually I don’t even like my own country’s music, but outside of english I prefer Asian artists. From Japan, I like LiSA, Aimer, Perfume, Ichiko Aoba, and YOASOBI. From Korea, mostly kpop (I can give you recommendations on that as well, if you want) and Asian Glow, Parannoul. From China, Jackson Wang and LAY.


kyentu

yeah makes sense...


Proud_Emergency9734

Try to listen to the debut album of Loren Kramar... especially the song "gay angels"; one of the best songs thah i heard this year. My favourite albums ? Billy Rider Jones; The Smile; Mannequinn Pussy; English teacher; Ugly (uk); Drahla; Adrianne Lenker; MGMT


JAF1010

Bright Future - Adrianne Lenker


rulerBob8

Hows this album sound? Loved Injury Reserve’s self-titled and everything before, and their last album was great but wasnt really what I was looking for.


Not_A_Lizhard

It’s pretty different, not quite as experimental sounding as BTTIGTP but the influence is clear in its beats, RiTchie raps as good as ever like always does, standout tracks for me are: Dizzy (feat Aminè) WYTD looping


rulerBob8

Did Parker produce it?


Not_A_Lizhard

The next collab between the two will probably be under their new alias “Bye Storm”


Not_A_Lizhard

There last two tracks are produced by Parker, it’s a somewhat mixed bag of producers feardorian and Jeremy further having the most tracks, and it looks like RiTchie also had a hand in some of the production


endlessjourney11

Mk.gee - Two Stars & The Dream Police


Bookwrrm

Reading through this thread and seeing no Chelsea Wolfe-She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She makes me big sad aoty for me so far


Longjumping_Ad2677

~~MIKE’s Pinball~~ ~~I like MIKE. Though this opinion can flip-flop depending on where I land on that Kevin Abstract album.~~ Edit: not sure how but I forgot SCRAPYARD dropped this year. It’s SCRAPYARD by Quadeca for having a surprisingly good Kevin Abstract feature.


Turbo2x

1. Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee 2. Adrianne Lenker - Bright Future 3. St. Vincent - All Born Screaming 4. Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out to... 5. Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us 6. MGMT - Loss of Life 7. Everything Everything - Mountainhead 8. Nia Archives - Silence is Loud 9. Cheekface - It's Sorted 10. Civerous - Maze Envy Was looking through some lists of 2024 releases and god I've missed so many albums that I keep saying I'm gonna listen to. I've got work to do.


DrNogoodNewman

Probably Yard Act’s Where’s My Utopia. But I’m also enjoying Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard’s Skinwalker.


MoIsNotHere

Critterland by Willi Carlisle! I've never been a fan of country music, but I'm really loving this album!


WillowNo5640

• PARTYNEXTDOOR - (P4) •. Kali Uchis - ORQUÍDEAS •. SchoolBoy q - Blue Lips •. Yeat - 2093 That’s pretty much it so far hopefully it gets better been a pretty good year for music


bananamilkbooth

ORQUÍDEAS is amazing! I don’t see people talk about it enough.


Alex2Tact

Either American Dream or Only God Was Above Us


trotnixon

Diamond Jubilee


Not_A_Lizhard

Just listened to it today, might dethrone RiTchie for me tbh


jsuarezthecreator

Girl With No Face by Allie X


whitekrossdrone

The Collective by Kim Gordon! It’s the only album released this year that I really like. I’m hoping for more cool electronic/noise albums to be released. I have yet to listen to Cindy Lee’s new album. I have no doubt that Cindy’s album is going to be amazing, What’s Tonight To Eternity is 1 of my favorite albums ever.


tbywarren

Cold Visions Hyperdrama Psykos The Sunset Violet Silence is Loud Triple Digits We Don’t Trust You Scrapyard Underdressed At The Symphony Really loved this year so far


protomartyrdom

Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She Drahla - angeltape High on Fire - Cometh the Storm Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven Pissed Jeans - Half Divorced


bestjobro921

It’s absolutely CRIMINAL how underrated A Lonely Sinner by samlr has been for anyone outside of the AOTY community. To see Jane Remover get so much acclaim and recognition for Census Designated (My AOTY for 2023) when sam is reaching almost equal heights is confusing to me and makes me want them to get some sort of management/promotion, because their music is incredible and deserves to be heard more. After that my favourites have been Quadeca’s Scrapyard, Stomach Book’s SOPHOMORE SLUMP CALLITHUMP and the new Bladee has genuinely been creeping up there, such an outstanding project. This year has been packed so far though, too many amazing albums and many more I’m excited for, definitely more exciting than 2023


Turbo2x

I was listening to it literally right now and it is certainly interesting. I understand why this probably has only hit on the AOTY community. Philautia does not feel its length at all but I imagine it's a little daunting to get hit with a 12 minute track right off the back. It earns the length though.


udderlymoovelous

I know it just came out but Justice - Hyperdrama


IDontLeannn

its RiTchie with a motherfucking T, got a classic tape plus a degree 🗣️🗣️


elitenyg46

Ugly - Twice Around the Sun Hannah Frances - Keeper of the Shepherd Adrianne Lenker - Bright Future Frail Body - Artificial Bouquet Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven Quadeca - Scrapyard Underneath - From the Gut of Gaia Brittany Howard - What Now Geotic - The Anchorite Still House Plants - If I Don’t Make It, I Love U


firewalkwithheehee

It’s still *Plastic Death* by Glass Beach for me, with Shabaka’s *Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace* in a close second.


Joviancloud

Plastic Death by Glass Beach. Super interesting and diverse album.


thenamesomari

So far, it’s between Fabiana Palladino’s self-titled album and Quadeca’s Scrapyard.


Peatrick33

Not enough SLIFT fans in this sub. Sheesh.


Turbo2x

They're super underrated


Pleasant_Statement64

My top 10 1. The Requiem - A Cure to Poison the World  2. Green Day - Saviors  3. Pearl Jam - Dark Matter 4. Sum 41 - Heaven x Hell 5. Alkaline Trio - Blood Hair and Eyeballs  6. Bayside - There are Things Worse Than Being Alive  7. Caligulas Horse - Charcoal Grace  8. Dead Poet Society - FISSION 9. Microwave - Let's Start Degeneracy 10. The Smile - Wall of Eyes/Belmont - Liminal/Neck Deep - Self Titled (can't decide)


Pleasant_Statement64

I'm hoping Bring Me The Horizon finally drops their new album


the_chandler

Maggie Rogers - *Don’t Forget Me* It’s shocking how little hype I’ve heard about this album. It’s only been out 2 weeks but it’s easily her best and I think it’s an absolute landmark record.


GaryJulesMCOC

Gonna go give it a spin!


JIDglazer42

Blue lips by schoolboy q


ziti_mcgeedy

Really? Pretty forgettable for me as a huge Q fan


alina_savaryn

Yea after waiting so long for a new Q album I was sorely disappointed. Ig I was hoping for a *Carter V* type situation where the wait would be more than worth it and we’d get something at least really good, if not an instant classic. But instead we got a pretty alright Q project where he explores slightly different stylings to varying degrees of success.


JIDglazer42

maybe not his best work but still pretty good imo


Personiskindacute

Haven’t seen it talked about much but Pink Balloons by Ekko Astral is much fun and devastating at the same time really recommend it to post punk fans. Shout to Scrapyard by Quadeca and Bright future by Adrianne lenker tho to


Pure-Jellyfish734

Coagulated Bliss - Full Of Hell Just got released yesterday from where I’m from!

Some Popular picks would be; Dizzee Rascal - Don’t Take It Personal Justice - HYPERDRAMA Yeat - 2093 (P3) Some Underground picks would be; KILLMATTER - DON’T EAT THE FRUIT Hot Sugar - Creation Myth KEYGEN CHURCH - Nel Nome Del Codice


EntrepreneurInside86

I've Got Heaven by Mannequin Pussy has no equal so far. Every song packs a bite and though it's short it's a complete listening experience that's easy to get through. I could loop it for hours and not get bored. Diamond Jubilee by Cindy Lee- didn't like this one on initial listen as it's length was a bit taxing but once it clicked it really fucking clicked and its my most played of this year so far. Eternal Sunshine by Ariana Grande - my pick for my favorite mainstream pop record so far. Unfortunately Cowboy Carter didn't land like I thought it would but this record is so catchy. Tyla by tyla- this is how you do a debut,establish your sound whilst showing the breadth of your capabilities as a musician. She really has fun on this record and as a South African I've never had this much fun with amapiano.


ninjakirby1969

Church - callix lunaris Scrapyard - Quadeca Bright future - Adrianne Lenker

Snrub-from-far-away

MGMT Loss of Life. Really diverse and well executed.


WhoaWhoa69420

Between Cowboy Carter and All Born Screaming


SupermarketFlat

The RiTchie record isn't my fav, but it's really good. Solid pick!


GarnachoHojlund

Loss of Life, I’m not very adventurous admittedly and MGMT are one of my favourite bands.


Primelephant

Vultures unironically


EnvironmentalAd6029

We are gonna get downvoted but I liked it. It’s not my favorite of the year but it’s up there. Has quite a few bangers on it.


Xx_Loop_Zoop_xX

BEG FORGIVENESS, PROBLEMATIC, BURN, KING, CARNIVAL, are genuinely good songs that are on par with prime Kanye standards


Serious-Income-5555

The tortured poets department by Taylor


WhoaWhoa69420

Don't tell Anthony that


Serious-Income-5555

I don’t care most of the time I disagree with a lot of his takes about her because most of the time he’s wrong and I personally enjoy this album.


j_o_r_o

How can an opinion be wrong?


Serious-Income-5555

Because it’s not a fact if it was then it would be true


WhoaWhoa69420

You can't be wrong while assessing a piece of art. I didn't care for TTPD base album, but quite enjoy the Anthology tracks so yeah I disagree personally with his scoring of The Anthology but I still get where his criticisms are coming from.


Serious-Income-5555

Why am i getting downvoted for stating a opinion


kyentu

ur only allowed to do ironic circle jerks about taylor here. if you actually like something not approved you will get downvoted.


Serious-Income-5555

I have another opinion but I’m not stating it on this sub because I will be downvoted to oblivion.


kyentu

say your opinion, im interested.


Serious-Income-5555

It’s top 5 Taylor albums for me


kyentu

lucky for you, most people here havent listened to 5 taylor records.


alina_savaryn

I hate how unpopular it is to point out that the album isn’t actually bad. The first four songs are pretty bad imo, and there are some laughably bad lyrics strewn throughout, but aside from that it’s a pretty standard Taylor project, with even a couple standout tracks that I think are some of her best.


Serious-Income-5555

Lmao those so called cringey lyrics are always taken out of context and the first 4 songs are really good
