Albums Of The Year 2024

[The Great Cull]

The Cure -Songs of a lost world.

That seems to be making it into the higher levels of the list on both boards here. They really did pull something great out of the bag there

They did and it didnt take too many listens either.

Never a band I've paid too much attention to but based on comments here I've checked it out and it's pretty decent. I can see myself going back to this.

I liked that Reversed release.  A solid 7/10 for me.

If you are checking out Invictus releases, the Abhorration album is class.  Don't think it will make my top 5, top ten perhaps.   Their EP is quality as well. 

Nice one, will give them a go too

I'm in love with the new Cure album. It's so good. Phenomenal.

Its an absolute masterpiece.

Indeed, not that I've heard much new material this year but nothing else has come close.

Well that Reversed album is some good shit alright, Wildly Possessed would have been a better band name. I'll be having a few more listens of this for sure, it's all good , hard black thrash except that female vocal segment at the end of Hungry Graves which garnered some frownage. Damn I'm supposed to be culling the herd not adding to it. Abhorration later though. And an Invictus shopping list no doubt.

Is it a masterpiece if there's one not great song on it,  ie. DRONE:NODRONE? It reminds me of that annoying Franz Ferdinand song- you say you don't know,  doop doop doopydoop... you know the one. I think I can overlook it as the rest of the album is so good.

I like that song,not the franz one.

Sherlukkit! You must be a 00s hipster time traveler. Some things can't be helped.

In fairness, there are positive elements in that song. The big bass and the electronic/ industrial vibe is pretty cool.  But that FF vocal melody is, shall we say, ill advised.

I can live with it though. Especially when you have songs like A Fragile Thing and I Can Never Say Goodbye on it. Magic.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Can hear the melodic and rhythmic similarity with the FF song sure enough, but as an overall choo-win this one is, I'd like to think, clearly much better    And as reminiscent as it may incidentally be to said FF song, it's an awful lot more similar to a whole bag load of Cure songs in a similar style.

[Eoin McLove]

Yeah, but it still sounds like fuckin FF!

[astfgyl]

Ah I don't want to listen to it now with that in my head

FF   S

Maybe I'll try pretending it was Fear Factory

[Carnage]

I don't hear that at all, thankfully.
