Geordie Greep - The New Sound
93

This was the seventy-ninth album I listened to from AOTY's "Must Hear" 2024 list. It's an outstanding piece of music, definitely one of the best from 2024.

I have never listened to Black Midi (although, after hearing this masterpiece, I will be exploring their discography as well), but I know that Geordie Greep was a member of Black Midi, and that the band broke up sometime before this album was recorded. In fact, a couple of the songs on this album were unreleased Black ... read more

Xiu Xiu - 13" Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips
46

This was the seventy-eighth album I listened to from AOTY's "Must Hear" 2024 list. I didn't really like it, but I commend this band's creativity.

I can't really think of a time I'd want to listen to "13" Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips." It's got some clubbier, house elements to it, but I wouldn't want to dance to it. It's got some moaning, sad-sounding vocals, but I don't think I'd want to listen ... read more

Amyl and the Sniffers - Cartoon Darkness
72

This was the seventy-seventh album I listened to from AOTY's "Must Hear" 2024 list. It's a solid addition to this band's discography, even though it doesn't have many surprises within.

This band captures the aggressive, Aussie party vibe so well. Delivering a consistently good sound, "Cartoon Darkness" fits snugly in with the rest of Amyl and The Sniffers' discography thus far. There are some catchy riffs and chord progressions, pumping marathon ... read more

This was the seventy-sixth album I listened to from AOTY's "Must Hear" 2024 list. It was pretty good, even though it's a bit lacking in consistency.

I'm a newcomer to Mannequin Pussy, but "I Got Heaven" was a good introduction to this band's sound. I was surprised by how many times this album would oscillate between a soft Indie Rock sound (something akin to Phoebe Bridgers, or perhaps Soccer Mommy) and screaming, saturated, distorted noise punk. Perhaps ... read more

Uboa - Impossible Light
90

This was the seventy-fifth album I listened to from AOTY's "Must Hear" 2024 list. To say I enjoyed listening to it wouldn't be entirely accurate because of how harsh it is, but I'm so happy that I experienced this album, and I am looking forward to doing so again.

I'd put this one towards the top of my "albums I wouldn't want to listen to on acid" list. It was a truly nightmarish experience. The cover art is a perfect visual representation of the ... read more
