Top 10 Best Albums of 2024

This new Billie Eilish album is a must-listen! It features her most personal and diverse set of songs yet. Her vocals are better than ever, and she will likely silence those who think she's only good at whispering.

This is probably her best album, which is a great achievement considering her two previous excellent albums. Billie has once again proved she's the greatest Gen-Z artist, ahead of Olivia Rodrigo. Welcome back!

Not as good as her previous albums, but this is fine. I just hated Lunch.

This new Charli XCX album just slaps so freaking hard! I think the raw EDM production that dominates the album serves Charli's vulnerable lyrics extremely well. It's the second greatest pop album of the year, behind Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish. Also, Anthony Fantano gave it a 10/10.

I love Charli XCX! Her songs are fun, and she does great production. Let's give Charli a high-five!

Much better than Sabrina Carpenter's short and sweet album.

TOP have definitely redeemed themselves from Scaled and Icy, which is not really a disastrous album but definitely has its lowest points (e.g., "Saturday," which sounds like a ripoff of The Cure's "Friday I'm in Love").

This one, however, really reminds me of 2018's Trench, and it sounds like they've found their groove again with this one.

Overall, while I do think this is a good album, some parts of it are quite messy. Though the "Heaven" side starts off strong with "Waiting on a Twist of Fate," some of the songs on there are among their worst, such as "Time Won't Wait" and "Dopamine." Both sound like something MGK would write, and maybe even Simple Plan. They're even worse than "Baby You Don't Wanna Know" off of SMM. I do think the "Hell" side is a lot stronger, and I believe "Stranger in These Times" and "How the End Begins" are some of their best.

Not a perfect album for sure, but I'll probably give it a 7/10.

Another great album by Everything Everything.

This new Cure album is not just one of the most unexpected comeback albums - it's also a triumphant one, 16 years after their previous release.

Everything that made The Cure great is present here, and each song is incredibly beautiful. Definitely one of their absolute best albums, alongside Disintegration, Pornography, The Head on the Door, or Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me.

Welcome back!

Best Cure album since Wish.

My favorite song off this album? "And Nothing Is Forever." Songs of a Lost World gets a solid 9/10 from me.

This is all I have to say. Goodbye.

The gods of heavy metal are back with a rocking new album! They've been one of the most defining heavy metal acts for more than 50 years now, and it's amazing to hear that they're still absolutely kicking ass today when most bands of their era are either not aging well or have retired.

Rob Halford is aging like fine wine and hasn't lost his vocal power or versatility in the slightest, which is amazing considering he's now 72 years old. Glenn Tipton remains an incredible guitarist, delivering head-banging riffs and blistering solos alongside Richie Faulkner, who is replacing KK Downing with dignity.

This album will likely go down as one of Priest's best, alongside 'British Steel,' 'Screaming for Vengeance,' and 'Painkiller.' Welcome back, Judas Priest! And keep on rocking!
