My album of the year is Yesterwynde by Nightwish. The songs are great and the band is so on it; great subtleties, depth and brilliant orchestration too. It bears multiple listens and it becomes ever more rewarding. It is the best of the 3 albums recorded with Floor Jansen on lead vocals and there is surely no better vocal performance on any album released this year.

Jaime can you get someone from the SOT crew to post top 10 Power metal for 2024?

[@Fastnbulbous1969]

Cemetery Skyline: Cool pick! I got on a goth metal kick after Neon Nightmare came out, and also dug, along with Cemetery Skyline, Pøltergeist, The Other Sun, Unto Others, Rosegarden Funeral Party, Demon Head, Rope Sect, Dool, Tribulation, etc. Fontaines D.C.: I dig it, was my #18. I'd also recommend The Buttertones and The Blinders, both of which made my Lucky 13, just felt more satisfyingly dark, as well as Thus Love, which I ranked a bit below Fontaines. The Cure and Opeth were my #1 and 3. Sendelica: Thanks for the reminder on that, it only just came out 12/20! Other space rock in my list includes Slift, Weite and Terry Gross. Cats in Space are a good time. Sgt Thunderhoof: Awesome band, love to see them get exposure on here. I'd also recommend Vitskär Süden for fans. Kudos to Jamie for sneaking in his top 50 in the backdrop, love it. And the Early Moods t-shirt, they were a highlight for me at Hell's Heroes earlier this year, which feels longer. Blood Incantation and Anciients were at the top of my metal list for sure. Dug the Gatecreeper. I've been doing a deep dive into extreme metal cuz, well, desperate times call for it, and also came up with Iotunn, Aseitas, Civerous, Sovereign, Fracture, Ulcerate, Eternal, Cave Sermon, Siderean, Jog For a Cowboy, Nile, Deceased, Chapel of Disease and many more. I'd especially recommend for SoT community who love the Blood Incantation and Opeth, to check out the Iotunn - Kinship. Denmark prog/death metal band's second album, at the top of their game, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Transit Method from Austin are underrated prog. Pop - my top dance-pop pick would be Magdalena Bay over Dua Lipa, but not exactly my thing. My kind of pop is Rosalie Cunningham (fans of St. Vincent should check her out), The Sonic Dawn & Dream Phases for psych pop, The Narcotix for cool ethereal vocal pop, think a more post-punk Kate Bush, Warpaint and Björk with Afro pop elements in the Brooklyn based band. White Denim's new album is pretty accessible too along the lines of Beck and Ween, but still some of the prog pop virtuosity. 1. The Cure - Songs of a Lost World 2. The Sea Kings - Fear is All Around 3. Opeth - The Last Will and Testament 4. Rosalie Cunningham - To Shoot Another Day 5. The Sonic Dawn - Phantom 6. Ducks Ltd. - Harm’s Way 7. Dream Phases - Phantom Idol 8. The Buttertones - Face to Face With Fantasy 9. The Narcotix - Dying 10. The Blinders - Beholder 11. Vitskär Süden - Vessel 12. Meatbodies - Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom 13. The Other Sun - Daimon, Devil, Dawn 14. Neon Nightmare - Faded Dream 15. The Smile - Wall of Eyes 16. Custard Flux - Einsteinium Delirium 17. The Mystery Lights - Purgatory 18. Fontaines D.C. - Romance 19. Transit Method - Othervoid 20. English Teacher - This Could Be Texas 21. Early Moods - A Sinner’s Past 22. Levitation Room - Strange Weather 23. Goat Girl - Below the Waste 24. Sergeant Thunderhoof - The Ghost of Badon Hill 25. WIZRD - Elements 26. White Denim - 12 27. Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere 28. Thus Love - All Pleasure 29.

Iron Maiden is soooo much better than Pearl Jam. I can understand the words Bruce is singing. Eddie just mumbles into the microphone. Guitar wise IM is soooo much better than Pearl Jam.

What a terrible year for music. Pretty much everything I was looking forward to (like the Bruce Dickinson album) was a huge disappointment. For SOT appropriate material, my favorites were easily Lucifer and Sunburst. Lucifer did what Katatonia did last year, where adding a bit more energy made everything so much hookier, while Sunburst does the Kamelot tone a hundred times better.
