The Best & Worst Albums of 2024

It feels like everyone and their mother came out with an album this year, and maybe some of them shouldn’t have. These are all of the album releases I caught and listened to, ranked into four categories:

Ear Blessings: Amazing. Angelic. I’m listening to it again and again.

Honorable Mentions: Such a good first listen, but I don’t think I want to listen a second time…

… Why?: There was literally no reason for the album to be made besides competing with literally everyone else who came out with an album.

So Close to Vomiting: The album was so bad, I almost threw up.
