Agree with both of you on the new Crowded House. The stuff I'd heard from them in the past was all "eh, it's ok" and this new one really impressed me. I think I need to go back and listen to everything from them again.

I absolutely agree with Joe, Invincible Shield kicks so much ass. Also, I have to say that the Blood Incatation album cover is also pretty dope.

"Lives Outgrown" by Beth Gibbons would be my Senior Circuit winner. Absolutely incredible album. And "Dummy" was exactly 30 years ago, so it counts!

This year I didn't get to listen to that much music compared to last year, still got to 42 albums in the end. Album Cover: Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches out to She Reaches out to She Overhyped: Charli XCX - BRAT Biggest Surprise: St Vincent - All Born Screaming Biggest Disappointment: Fontaines D.C. - Romance (Still a good album, but the singles are much better than the rest) Best Debut: Warm Exit - Ultraviolence Senior Circuit: The Cure - Songs of a Lost World Best Comeback: The Cure - Songs of a Lost World An album only I liked: Lime Garden - One More Thing (Got it at 4.5 stars, RYM score is 3.08)

Album Cover: either To Shoot Another Day by Rosalie Cunningham or Plunge by Sam Evian Overhyped: agree with both of your picks Biggest Surprise: Cheekface, not because I had any bad experience with them but I remember seeing other people in the Discord really dislike their previous album in 2022 (I never heard it) Biggest Disappointment: Beth Gibbons, I didn't hear what other people heard with that one sadly (although Dua Lipa is a good one, I couldn't even finish it) Senior Circuit: Agree with both Judas Priest and Crowded House Best Debut: probably Friko, not sure if RIP Dunes really counts since he had previous projects Best Comeback: I was really disappointed by the Chloe and the Next 20th Century so Mahashmashana was a very welcome comeback for me Against the Grain: Not sure what to put here either, the one I was going to pick (J Robbins - Basilisk) used to have a really low average on RYM but it has actually gone up EP: Apollo Ghosts - Amethyst

They did do Split Enz. But Neil Finn generally speaking seems like he'd be right up Jason's alley. He's just such an effortless melodicist. He's one of those artists who one day will pass away and everyone will talk about how much they always loved him. But here in life? He doesn't get 1/10th the acclaim he ought to. Crowded House, Split Enz, Finn Brothers, albums with his wife and with his son, true solo stuff... There's *so* much out there and so much of it is incredible.

Surprised we share so much: Cover: Geordie Greep Overhyped: brat. It's...fine... just EVERYWHERE Biggest surprise: Vince Staples makes great music again! Also me finally liking a Fontaines D.C. album was shocking Senior circuit: some good choices, but kudos to The Cure Best debut: I'm not going to cheat and pick veteran debuts or supergroups and say Friko Best comeback: who knew Los Campesinos! had such a masterpiece left in them after basically being on hiatus Against the grain: I liked the Japandroids final album more than most of the fanbase it seems Best EP: Nourished By Time by a million miles

Most overhyped: Charli XCX - Brat (I don't even dislike this album; I gave it a light 8/10 and put it in my honorable mentions. However, it has dominated numerous year-end lists, and I don't think it's worthy of all these accolades; Charli (2019) was superior, but received less praise.) Biggest disappointment: St. Vincent - All Born Screaming (Another album that I liked. Unfortunately, the industrial rock aesthetic isn't explored to the degree I was anticipating, and I'm not crazy about track 2 or the album's closing leg. This is the first St. Vincent studio record not to make my top 50, breaking a 6-album (or 17-year) streak, and thus has to be considered my disappointment of 2024.) And now for my 5 least-favorite acclaimed (not necessarily universal acclaim) albums of 2024: 5. Ariana Grande - Eternal Sunshine: I disagree with the sentiment that 2024 was a great year for mainstream pop. Billie/Dua Lipa/Camila Cabelo/Taylor Swift/Sabrina Carpenter/FLO put out middling material, but this Grande album was the most boring one of the bunch. 4. Pearl Jam - Dark Matter: A dull and pointless album from a 90s legacy act. Bands like Collective Soul, Smashing Pumpkins, Dandy Warhols, Primal Scream, and Jesus & Mary Chain also put out lackluster records in 2024, but at least those ones were ignored. 3. Phosphorescent - Revelator: Winner of the 2024 Andy Shauf Prize for blandest indie folk album. 2. Sprints - Letter to Self: Some of the most uninspired post-punk I've ever heard. The band has no chemistry whatsoever. 1. Body Meat - Starchris: A nightmarish, autotune-filled fusion of R&B/pop that encompasses every modern trend of music that I despise. Grotesque and hideous. (The rest of my honorable mentions from 2024 will be in the replies. I'm getting everything out of the way so that I only need to post my favorite songs and albums in the next year-end videos.)

Bikini Body's Weird Party is the best EP of 2024 IMO, with Chelsea Wolfe's Unbound on the "need to listen to that properly" list. Embarrassed the biggest surprise for me is Geordie Greep since black midi was news to me, and I think both are great. The cover I didn't particularly like because it rips off Cultural Revolution imagery for the sake of love-murder navel gazing, but since that's what the New Sound is all about then it fits. In terms of covers, the Brat LP should be placed next to the Durutti Column sandpaper cover. I discovered this year that Canadian artist Baby Rose has a really good voice. In new to me I added to my itunes Bubu (Anabelas), some Wobbler albums, German Oak, Cardiacs and The Necessaries. Biggest disappointment was Cardi B speech for Kamala Harris. She should have shamed her rather than praising. Also disappointing is that Sweeping Promises are dragging their feet on making merch available online to fanatics. How hard can it be to print t-shirts.

Cindy Lee’s interminable album is just that. It’s too long. It’s way too damn long, especially for the quality of music that it is, it’s just too much. It’s not an Exile on Main Street or London Calling or 69 Love Songs situation where more is more, where every single song is amazing. Not the case at all.

My favorite album cover: The Reflectors - Going Out of Fashion (great stylization and font!) My best debut of the year: Tie = Mk.gee - Two Star & the Dream Police, Liana Flores - Flower of the Soul Most overhyped album: Geordie Greep - The New Sound (I can’t believe you guys liked this one so much, it’s awful. It’s noodly and incel-y and gross and grating and annoying. And that album cover is awful too! I hate his accent, I hate his voice, and I hate the lyrics. Just edgy for the sake of being edgy.), but that Cindy Lee album isn’t far behind. Biggest disappointment: The Cure - Songs of a Lost World (it’s just diminishing returns for me, and not some amazing expectation-crushing all-time comeback. Not even close.) Biggest surprise: Jessica Pratt - Here in the Pitch (I never heard her before and now I love her, and Better Hate is one of my favorite songs ever now!) Senior circuit: Redd Kross - Redd Kross (Gotta be them for me, and I agree: great album cover too!) Best comeback: Blank. Can’t really see any album in my top list as a true comeback, although they’re all great. Against the grain? I’ll pick a negative that I feel alone in not liking, two of them: Again, the Geordie Greep album and the new Cure album. 👎🏻👎🏻 EP of the year? Surprisingly, it’s: neverminds - nevermind, the winter. (Yeah, I didn’t even look at this one, and I really super enjoyed it!) Great awards video for 2024, boys! :3
