RECORDED 12/5/24 This week we went back through and picked five albums from the year that we skipped over to review.

RECORDED 11/26/24

A surprise album from Kendrick Lamar really shook the world of music this week. A long-anticipated Father John Misty album is making a comparatively low amount of buzz, but it says a lot that it's even being noticed.

00:00 Kendrick Lamar - GNX

14:52 Father John Misty - Mahashmashana

22:22 Buckshot & Hackle - WICKERMEN

27:15 Amine - .mp3s

RECORDED 11/19/24 This week marks the important and significant return of Linkin Park, which was our biggest point of discussion. There were also some surprising and impressive releases this week from Poppy, Cordae and more! As the year starts to wrap up and come to a close, it seems like 2024 is going out on a strong note. 00:00 Linkin Park - From Zero 12:12 Poppy - Negative Spaces 21:03 Cordae - The Crossroads 32:29 Denzel Curry - KING OF THE MISCHEIVIOUS SOUTH (Reissue) 40:57 femtanyl - REACTOR

RECORDED 11/5/24 We've got two major, important releases this week, with new albums from Mount Eerie and The Cure. It's The Cure's first album in a whole 16 years, so it's pretty exciting to see their return. There's a Lil Uzi Vert album too...

This was a very significant week in music for the both of us, because Tyler the Creator has at long last dropped his eighth studio album, "Chromakopia". We had a lot of thoughts on it here, and probably could've gone on even longer than we already did. There were also a couple of notable albums in the Indie space from Soccer Mommy and Laura Marling. We took a look at those here as well, alongside a couple of very exciting singles. 00:00 Tyler the Creator - Chromakopia

18:49 Laura Marling - Patterns in Repeat

27:08 Soccer Mommy - Evergreen

31:57 Lady Gaga - Disease

34:46 Ghost Mountain and Sematary - Dark Harvest

41:30 Outro

RECORDED 10/22/24

This week's music felt particularly significant in a year that's already been so significant. The most popular realease this time around is Yeat's "Lyfestyle" which is making just as big of a splash as his "2093" album earlier this year. There were also some notable records from Jean Dawson, Machine Girl, and more! Some of our favorite songs of the whole year landed in this episode. TIMESTAMPS:

00:00 Yeat - LYFESTYLE

08:36 Jean Dawson - Glimmer of God

19:10 Machine Girl - MGULTRA

27:40 Kelly Lee Owens - Dreamstate

32:40 Juice WRLD - The Pre Part (Extended)

36:24 Some closing thoughts...

This was supposed to go up here much earlier, but we ran into some technical difficulties. Apologies for the wait!

RECORDED 10/15/24 The mix of albums we have here is one of the most diverse so far. The biggest album itself is also one of the most diverse albums we've covered on here. The Brat remix album is certainly a wild moment in music, and the other albums here live up to the moment easily.
00:00 Charli XCX - Brat and it's completely different but also still brat 19:44 Chat Pile - Cool World 28:55 Current Joys - East My Love 38:03 TURQUOISEDEATH- Kaleidoscope 46:14 E L U C I D - REVELATOR 55:01 Closing thoughts

RECORDED 10/8/24

It's the biggest week for music in 2024 by far. We loved most of the albums here, and they deserve all the love they're getting as a whole. We've got some future-classic, genre-defining stuff this week, and it's one to remember.

SOPHIE now has a posthumous album under her name, Lady Gaga has created a Harley Quinn themed cover album, and that's just the tip of the iceburg. There was even some unexpected comeback singles we talk about at the end, so stick around for that! Sorry for the technical issues with this one. Micah recorded on a $10 webcam by mistake. It's rough. We're sorry.

RECORDED 9/24//24 This week brought us the first record in multiple years from three different notable artists, an unexpected Future mixtape, so it's a pretty stacked one. There's also some great albums that came out from artists that are more underground, so stick around until the end to hear about those! There's lots to discuss here, and the quality varies massively. 00:00 The Voidz - Like All Before You

RECORDED 8/6/2024 This is the strangest episode we’ve recorded so far. Two of the five albums have some controversial circumstances, and three of the five albums didn’t even drop on Friday! Parannoul and JPEGMAFIA’s albums are being respected as the best albums of the whole year, and the newest Vultures album is being received entirely in the opposite direction. Even with all of that in mind, an unexpected album that got sent our way ended up stealing the show for us.

RECORDED 7/30/2024 Porter Robinson's wonderful follow-up SMILE :D has finally come to fruition, and the result was a pretty huge moment in music.
