Top Ten Albums of 2024 10. Julia Holter - Something in the Room She Moves Of course she was going to make the list. I played this for the first time and a forest started growing in my living room.

Sideshow - Tigray Funk Injury Reserve - My Ghosts Go Ghosts Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon - As of Now

@baadbenny Swag is full of musical dead-ends. If it was an album full of songs like Daisies I’d be with you but he’ll need to display that sort of form across a whole album for me first.

Shouldn’t a music legend make good music?

@_kungfuchang It’s pretty good. I feel the sequencing and variety of flows on Pompeii are lacking but with lots of cool moments regardless. Utility is a chunk stronger - Earl just has more adaptability and refreshing vocal approaches on these beats. Both sides are instrumentally stellar.

@02arcadia02 thoughts on the double album, George?

@NotRealMusic Is there anyone other than diehards claiming it’s a comeback?

A slight improvement from his last couple atrocities is being mistaken for a “comeback”. Don’t be fooled, this is barely passable from Kanye once again. Review: youtu.be/2dZwLJMOyzM?si…

RT @Unpaid1ntern: There’s still so much about this battery deployment I don’t understand I’m not even going to PRETEND to know this bro I s…

RT @LadPsycho: Genuinely one of the most important albums from the 2010s.

@Aphex_Owin Hope you enjoy!

@02arcadia02 I ain’t got round to it yet but gonna stick on that one you’ve shared! Taking advantage of a somewhat quiet year of releases thus far and spending more time with some older albums.

Best song this year so far music.apple.com/gb/album/days-…

@Aphex_Owin Not sure yet on a decisive verdict but pretty beautiful for the most part I think? What are your thoughts?

@02arcadia02 And the record generally?

I heard this song in the car on my first listen and was grinning like a moron. It’s absolutely radiant. There’s an ingenious use of a Dizzee Rascal sample and it’s a thrilling melting pot of soul melodies and drum sections with a ridiculously satisfying payoff.

@slagasis ‘I have never been more entertained in my life’ in the OP is crazy even as hyperbole lmfao the race was like a 6/10. We’ll see how it develops but I think we need Antonelli to be getting clean weekends together to give us a good season. His pace has looked reasonably good so 🤷‍♂️

@02arcadia02 I have to get over the gimmick factor and look at the deployment differently, hopefully as teams (and drivers) optimise they’ll be able to harvest energy better and it’s less of a determining factor for overtaking, defo more action yeah I don’t think drs even worked at spa 2025😭

If you’re a child maybe yeah

My favourite four

RT @onIychloexhalle: Unfortunately one of the greatest songs ever music.apple.com/us/album/sunsh…

@NotRealMusic They never really clicked in a HUGE way for me until their experimental stuff, Floss is very fun though

I really like the experimental side of Injury Reserve and By Storm, but these two will always be untouchable classics imo

@JonDenton What about it do you feel is genre-pinnacle? That’s an absolutely massive statement…

Like whatever you like, whatever speaks to you, But this is genre-pinnacle rapping. Baffling to me!

Hold on, people DON'T like The Fall Off?! Rap fans?

@dwnloadhistory What would you say makes it over-choreographed? At what point do you think it crosses the line?

@02arcadia02 The video is better than the song and I don't care for overly choreographed dancing in general. It always comes off as corny to me

Nobody has anything substantive to say negative about this song or video other than that they don’t like that it’s elevated beyond justification. It’s routinely my least favourite discourse to stumble upon every time it comes around again.

I don’t think the song or video are the most incredible offerings of art this century or anything but they’re both made with so much immense thought, care and style that I can’t understand why people resent them so much. People treat the whole thing like it’s slop 🤣
