Love when an album comes along in December and fucks up everyone's Worst Album Cover of the Year lists.

Jokes aside, this is really good. Excited about a (potential) new Geese album next year.

If you love the title track from the new Father John Misty record, man, do I have an album for you

Imagine being 65 years old and still sounding this fucking good.

Possibly my favorite Smile release so far. But nowhere near as good as A Moon Shaped Pool was.

Let's pack it up, boys. Time to get the gang back together.

Fair game Spanish Record Club, this fucking rules.

The second-best album of the year that includes a song where the word ‘himbo’ is sung.

Probably my most re-visited album of 2022 (an excellent year in music).

If you love Lenderman but want even more Jason Molina out of your slacker-infused Americana, this is your guy.

Favs: "Come and Change My Body", "Tower".

I have no idea why this blew up. It’s fine – good, even.

But that part in "Image" where the distorted and heavily clipped bass comes in for the last chorus is one of my favorite moments of 2024.

Prefab Sprout reincarnated.

Would love to perform this for a baffled karaoke bar crowd, just like I did with Sprout's "The King of Rock 'N' Roll" recently.

A great album that I would've loved to love a little bit more.

Nothing else really reaches the heights of single "Delphinium Blue". Or, for that matter, any of the songs on her previous album, which is a contender for greatest album of this (still pretty young) decade.

But I'm expecting this record to accompany me for quite some time, so I'm sure my feelings on it will change.

Yeehaw Jim O’Rourke.

Wake up babe, new YouTube-only indie rock album just dropped.

Evergreen covers album that contains two of my favorite covers of all time: "Fallin' Rain" and "To Love Somebody".

Soundtrack of the summer for the second consecutive year.

We (britpop) are so fucking back.

I guess this is los Daft Punk granaínos?

How I have I not heard this before? That last, almost half-hour long track sounds like a precursor to Paddy McAloon's classic "I Trawl the Megahertz".

This turned 15 yesterday. One of the greatest albums from a great period in American music. (The follow-up is equally as great imo.)

Saw someone on YouTube call them "Arcade Bright Eyes". Reader, I chuckled.

Very promising debut.

Any record that has features from Panda Bear AND Carly Rae Jepsen is a friend of mine.

Fav track: 40 Waves.

It has come to my attention that this album turns 30 today.

Obviously a 5/5. Biggest career drop-off of all time?

Played this in the car and my two-year–old LOVED it.

The kids are alright.

R.I.P. Steve Albini.

Been trying to get into Hovvdy for a minute now, but I could never get past the emo-ish vocals.

Thrilled to announce that I've gotten over it. This record slaps.

It's got twang, it's got a sittin'-on-your-porch-recording-with-your-buddies production style, and it's sprawling double album – of which I am a documented fan.

One of this year's best.

Kenny won.

Remember when she said this album was inspired by Massive Attack, Primal Scream and UK rave culture? Never has an album sounded less than Massive Attack, Primal Scream or UK rave culture.

Happy 35th to the greatest autumn record ever made. Weird that it was released in the middle of spring.

That's a crunchy as hell guitar in the chorus. I hope this is a sign of what's to come.

Happy 30th to the greatest rap album of all time.

This is some wild shit, but I love it so much. A double album, four years in the making. Perhaps their last one? Put up on YouTube without ads. Or purchasable/downloadable in .wav format (via a MegaUpload link!) if you go to fucking GeoCities of all places...

But it's full of brilliant, "off-kilter" (sorry) Brill Building-type pop that sounds like it's being played at the Roadhouse in Twin Peaks. Instant AOTY contender.

Standouts: "Kingdom Come", "Dreams of You", "Government Cheque", "If You Hear Me Crying".
