Best Albums of 2024, practically all of which we guarantee you will have never heard of, some of which we may have invented during a four-day mushroom-induced shamanic trance, plus whatever Taylor Swift or Beyonce put out.

Our rival publication's Best Albums of 2024 re-arranged, like the deckchairs on the Titanic, in a slightly different order.

Best Albums we casually listened to in 2024, along with some sketchy affiliate links that will earn us pennies on the dollar if you click on them and make purchases. (Note, these will take you to an online record retailer, as opposed to Amazon, so it's alright.)

A mediocre indie supergroup, unheard of outside of Teen Vogue, et al, who indulged our delusions that we are credible music journalists by granting us an interview, plus some other shit we awarded four stars that we would never spend money on in a million years, and a terrible album by an artist who suffered a personal tragedy so we have to like it. See you next year suckas!

A solid black page informing readers that, in a year when [winning US Presidential candidate] has taken office, there can be no best albums. (A Best of Albums of 2024 list will appear belatedly in January after site traffic takes a nosedive.)

the only rock music that exists in this list is stuff your dad is really into or post punk.

very very heavy on the post punk (and I'm guilty of putting it all there)

I love this idea and the proposed lists more than brownie coconut treacle. And that's a LOT!
