2024 Album Roundup
At the end of 2023 I set myself to the task of picking my top 3 albums of the year. My medium of choice was just a little instagram story, but I still felt woefully unprepared. What albums were released this year? What did I even listen to? So this year I decided to be more intentional. I started a list of every 2024 album I listened to, asking friends and family to send me any they came across. Overall I listened to over 120 new albums this year, and in doing so I have found so many albums that I think will stay with me for years to come, if not my whole life. For the body and blood of this roundup, I have decided against numerical rankings. In almost every case comparing my favorite albums this year has been apples and oranges, so this piece will be more of a group of highlights of this year. The one exception is the last album, which is my pick for 2024 Album of the Year. So many albums I listened to this year absolutely blew me away, far too many to write full piece...
