Top Ten Albums of 2024

 I reserve the right to change my mind about these in perpetuity.  (Some of my previous years are nuts.  Bonobo's Migration as the third-best album of 2017?!  That was the best album of the decade!)

10. Band-Maid - Epic Narratives


 9. Rachel Chinouriri - What a Devastating Turn of Events

8. Nilüfer Yanya - My Method Actor

 

7. The Linda Lindas - No Obligation


 

6. Beabadoobee - This is How Tomorrow Moves


 

 5. Angus & Julia Stone - Cape Forestier


 

4. Charly Bliss - Forever


 

3. Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs

2. Public Service Broadcasting - The Last Flight


 

1. Hot Water Music - Vows



 


("Menace" is also my song of the year, neatly.)


Bonus video!  Best anime opening of the year why not.  The vocalist's diction and breath control on the really fast parts completely baffle me.
