Pinned Review

Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk
95

Who needs espresso when you can get some espresso martini 🤪 (I do like espresso though hehe). Hot damn, what can I even say here… It’s about time for my first album review on AOTY after lurking on this site for years.

“Imaginal Disk” is worth all the hype I’ve had since the release of the phenomenal lead single “Death and Romance”, one of my few 10/10 songs of 2024. “Mercurial World” has been one of my favorite pop records of the decade ... read more

Wolf Alice - White Horses
95

Giving some Fleetwood Mac and Wet Leg's "Angelica" vibes. Joel leading the verses adds lots of character and Ellie continues to serve them vocals so hard. The vocal harmonies are so ethereal and polished. The instrumentation and production quality continues to shine, on par with their other 2 singles. Very hyped for this album (hoping it to break the 80 AOTY curse) and can't wait to see them live soon!

The Last Dinner Party - This Is The Killer Speaking
95

GOOD MORNING, GOOD LOOKING ‼️THIS IS THE KILLER SPEAKING ‼️ WE'RE SOOOOOOOO BACKKKKKKK ‼️‼️‼️
The long awaited single that they've been playing live for forever is finally out! TLDP's trademark pure fun theatricality truly shines through Abigail's charismatic vocals and the band's banger instrumentation here. If "This Is the Killer Speaking" is representative of their sophomore album, then we're in for a real treat. TLDP continues to ... read more

Wolf Alice - The Sofa
100

Listening to this song rn while lying on the sofa. I COULD LIE HERE ALL DAY LONG...... LET ME LIE HERE ON THE SOFA
Ellie's vocals, the melodies, the harmonies, and the instrumentation are so lush and gorgeous. A song about disconnecting from real life and recharging by doing nothing has no business being this good and dreamy. Wolf Alice, take a bow. I really want to buy a ticket to their concert now. No words can describe how hyped I am with their new album, especially considering how much ... read more

Lorde - What Was That
95

Admittedly I was very lukewarm during my first listen but this is now bopping so hard. I have to stand up and dance like Lorde in my room. "I remember saying then, this is the best cigarette of my life, well I want you just like that" hits a bit closer to home. BABY WHAT WAS THAT?

[Originally written in February 2021]

It's been quite a while since a modern rock album made me this excited and thrilled. I can't pinpoint a single reason why I am in love with this record so much. Perhaps it is the love letter to rock music and the celebration of rockers who passed away in "Rock and Roll Heaven". Perhaps it is the 1960s-inspired tender somberness of "Got So High". Perhaps it is the powerful anthem of reclaiming a chaotic world accompanied by Tom ... read more
