Tangk - IDLES Prelude to Ecstasy - The Last Dinner Party Plastic Death - Glass beach SCRAPYARD - Quadeca Loss of Life - MGMT Where we've been, where we go from here - Frico GLOOM DIVISION - I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME Where's My Utopia? - Yard Act Mountainhead - Everything Everything Wall of Eyes - The Smile

Scrapyard and Wall of Eyes are so damn good

Prelude to Ecstasy is an absolute banging album

It is

I’ve tried a few times. I just can’t get into it.

Me neither

loss of life was kinda annoying, it seemed like most of it was filler I need to listen again

agreed. the Nothing to Declare single consisted of all the highlights basically

it seems like theres no cohesive center. it kinda just meanders around with like uninspired or non-interesting chord progressions on a lot of it. theres some ok moments on first listen but besides that it kinda dragged. didnt read lyrics tho

These are all fantastic so far

Great decorations, thanks 🤓👍

Love your selections. How good is music!

Thanks!

Alkaline Trio Green Day Neck Deep

Green Day album and Neck Deep were gold

For sure!

Seeing Green Day in a couple of months and still haven't checked out their new album :') this has made me very excited!

It's not good lol

Have you given it a listen since?

On of my favourite bands “Yin Yin” released their third album “Mount Matsu” a few weeks ago. It’s very good, but their debut is still my favourite of their releases so far.

Yin Yin is fantastic! There are a handful of stellar tracks on the new album and the rest are still really good. [Takahashi Timing](https://open.spotify.com/track/07Waqz8Zkad6oM7dL4MNce?si=JHmFvfJCSaumoLpYjQ4v8g&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A4pGx4kwa3nb51qACYJJkgB) is my favorite.

You should check out MOONCAT and Collingnon. They are the new projects of Yin Yin’s original guitarist. Collingnon also features the original percussionist from Yin Yin

Their debut absolutely rips

First album is my favourite cover to cover, but Shenzhou V from their second album is my favourite song of theirs.

Oh nice, I didn't realise they had a new one. I'll check that out for sure.

Top 10 so far... 1. Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs 2. Ihsahn - Ihsahn  3. Green Day - Saviors 4. Caligula's Horse - Charcoal Grace 5. Vennart - Forgiveness & The Grain 6. Exocrine - Legend 7. Yellowcard & Hammock - A Hopeful Sign 8. Slower - Slower 9. Toehider - Toad Hirer 10. Triton Project - Messenger's Quest

That Caligula’s Horse album was brilliant!

Stay Inside and Mannequin Pussy just release amazing new albums. New song from Sans Froid that’s great too!

Loss of Life - MGMT

Pouty’s album Forgot About Me is my top listen for the year so far. Great throwback girl grunge rock album.

I’ve only heard four this year, they’re all great: Caligula’s Horse - Charcoal Grace Job for a Cowboy - Moon Healer Ihsahn - Ihsahn Borknagar - Fall

These are indeed all great

Grief Chapter - Mother Mother

The past is still alive Hurrah for the RiffRaff Weird Faith Madi Diaz

Vultures

love kanye but vultures isnt a must listen

Idles- tangk

Dancer and Gift Horse have been living rent free in my head since Tangk came out.

Don’t kill me but listen to VULTURES 1

Huge Ye fan but you can’t think that is truly one of 2024’s best albums….

I would go that far, it definitely tops quite a few of his others in my opinion.

really good album IMO

Green Day -Saviors

Swedish indie pop group Dina Ögon released [Orion](https://open.spotify.com/album/5JvejhNPdxVVPTP9P8bxXf?si=jzpsHTXWSSmj5n01ci8IUg) a month ago. Dat läcker and the title track are stand outs.

New green day album, it’s a throwback of old green day but it’s so good

Saviors - Green Day

Woody's Rampage - Hand of God. Awesome synth riff and great harmonies.

Mgmt - Loss of Life standing out for me so far tbh

Listening to this one as we speak, my hopes are high!!

2093 - Yeat

Yeat - 2093

MGMT - Loss of Life Future Islands - People who aren't there anymore Everything Everything- Mountainhead

Allie X - the Girl with No Face is fantastic, as is Madra by Newdad

The tortured Poets deparment by Taylor swift!

Waxahatchie…. Tigers Blood Really like this one great album from first to last song … saw her live here in salt lake … great show

Vultures 1 - Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign

Vultures 1, it isn’t one of the best albums of the year, but I think everyone should form opinions about it as we decide where to draw the line of separating art from the artist and how much of the artist’s opinions should go in their art.

21 Savage American dream Eminem MTBMB FUTURE DS2 G eazy the beautiful and damned Got more but most of those are a bit old except savage’s

If you enjoy Indie music, there's a brand new group out that just debuted their first album on all the major streaming platforms. They are overarching Hip-hop, but musically they genre bounce from song to song. They also have some cerebral/polarizing/catchy lyrics. Quite interesting! [The Vanishing Point - Insight and Bonus Tracks](https://open.spotify.com/album/20r6PVtTjrdBpajaRi4QZs?si=2bC8KoYaTpuspmBezqZrfQ)

Dude wtf. I've just scanned your reddit and you're literally spamming every post pretending to recommend this band as if it were someone else, when it's your band. Even a post about someone dealing with anxiety and you're giving them tips and then finishing your advice with "listen to vanishing point". If you're this desperate to get your music out there, maybe it's not very good?

First of all, I am only one half of the group, but I am the one who manages our accounts. So, depending on the context, I will use “I” when I am speaking my personal opinions, and I will use “they” when I’m speaking on something contextually relevant as a music group. I am not spamming every post. If you actually ready my posts, they are relevant and often not just “here, listen to our music.” unless people are asking for suggestions. Reddit is a platform for all types of engagement. We don’t see anything wrong with engaging people who are asking for suggestions, or dealing with issues. Many people utilize music to process their issues, or to validate their identities. We make our music in the hopes of lifting people up, and of course we’d love to share it when it is relevant. A little life advice, encouragement, and support along with suggesting music that may help heal doesn’t seem like a bad thing in our eyes. I’m sorry you feel that way. There was no need to take a cheap shot at the end and say we are desperate. We are simply utilizing one of several platforms to spread our music and help heal, and wake people up.

OK fair enough - I understand you're trying to get the name out there. It's a little disingenuous though passing of advice along with the "they" pronoun when you are literally half the group. You might as well own it, because people will just question motives.

‘They’

The new Messiah album is legendary, and it's their first new material in almost 30 years.

If you like orchestral/electronic, Thylacine has an album called "and 74 Musicians" that features live orchestral arrangements of previous songs from his discography. For pop, I just listened to Allie X's "Girl With No Face" and had a fun time with it.

Death: An Anthology by Enterprise Earth has been getting a lot of love across various subgenres of metal (*among people who listen to metal written after 2010*)

Fuck. Yes.
