The 30 Best Albums of 2024

According to me!

Noah Berlatsky Jan 1

New year’s day is a good moment to celebrate the music of the year that was. I feel like I fell down a bit this year on listening to new albums…but! On the other hand, I came up with 30 favorites, so I guess I didn’t really fail? Listen and decide for yourself!

As always, I’ve included a link in cases where I wrote something about the band/release.
