My favorite is still Suldusk- Anthesis. Can’t get over how damn beautiful everything in that album sounds.

Same thing for me. The Cure Songs of a Lost World is my AOTY.

Decent year for me. First the first time in a long time my AOTY ain’t even a metal album. The Thief Next To Jesus has taken the crown for me.

It’s been a great year for me. Several of my favorite artists came back this year and released great albums like Couch Slut, Chat Pile, Leprous, Julie Christmas, and almost-Anathema

Four-Fifths of Spawn of Possession reunites. This may be interesting...

Well as I said I haven't heard everything on here, also my tastes don't usually match up with the ratings. I'm only my second listen of the new Gaerea now

For an average year, it already has a stronger top 20 than last year. And it's been the case since July already. Top album is stronger than top of 2023, and last as well. Taking only the rating in consideration.
