2024's Best Albums for Old Heads...So Far
Since we’re all still new here, let me get this off my chest right off the bat: top ten lists stress me out.
The 15 Best Albums of the Year Plus Another 5 That Were Kind of Average But Made By Our Friends in the Industry
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.)
