Albums of 2024

[epilogue]

Finally got around to the latest Chastity Belt. Liked it, didn't love it. But it's interesting enough that I'm sure I'll keep it in semi-regular rotation. Expect it'll grow on me with more listens.

i didn't like it as much either, and tbh i think the cover art being bad affected my experience with it.

Fair. How do you feel about the new Fontaines DC? I really liked the album a lot, but that cover art almost kept me from listening to it.

new MJ Lenderman out this Friday. I had some money in my PayPal account from doing google rewards stuff, so I pre-ordered a copy on Bandcamp.

Been looking forward to this one since She’s Leaving You came out.

[zeb]

I'm really hoping that it's good. Wouldn't mind at all if he took a bit of a leap in terms of songwriting and arrangements (I think he's much better at his own stuff than his regular band is generally).

[dad]

word is there’s a cd rip of it out there.

[zeb]

I'm too lazy to mess with leaks and rips these days. Happy to wait until the end of the week.

[dad]

fwiw, I think it’s going to be great. I just think the dude has the hot hand right now.

[zeb]

Just realised that we already have four of the nine songs?

I'm not vibing with Rudolph so much but the other three tracks are solid.

after i read your post I thought I was going crazy, as i'd only known of three. just this morning I found out Wristwatch was released yesterday.

must be nice living in the future, zeb.

It certainly has its benefits on album release dates.

The MJ Lenderman album is breezy and agreeable.

There are a few left turns here and there but for the most part it has the Lenderman vibe we're familiar with.

Hello from the future!

On my fourth playthrough now - this record is much more than breezy and agreeable, it's superb.

Not enamored with that Fontaines album. The songs aren't blowing me away and I find it hard to get past the singer's voice, which has this vague 90s indie rock blandness to it

So it don' hit your business with it's momentary blissness?
