My Best albums of 2024

Overall I think it’s been a very good year. When I started looking back I had around 60 albums that I’ve really liked this year ( I.e. 3.5 stars out of five or better). Too many for a list like this so I spent the last two weeks revisiting most to see which make the top of the tree. I didn’t have any 5 star albums, but my top ten would be 4.5 stars and the bubbling under are all 4 star (I have maybe 10/15 other 4 star albums this year that didn’t quite make the list, and about 30 3.5 star albums) . All my non prog recs are at least 4 stars.



Top Ten of what could be broadly described as Rock/Prog Rock

Albion - Lakesongs of Elbid
Viima - Vaistyy Meilen Yo
Esquizoide - Cronicas
Cloud People - Simulacra.
Android - Wordless Scriptum. (Classical elements)
Hasse Froberg Musical Companion - Eternal Snapshots
SJS - A Sequence of Mistakes
DGM - Endless
Inner space - The best sign
Framaura - Ethermedia 2024


Bubbling under excellent Prog/Rock albums that I’ve listened to a lot this year.

VESILINJA - Merkurius
Infringement - Black Science and White Lies.
Lee Abraham - Origins of the storm.
Zombi- Direct inject.
Barock Project- Time Voyage.
karfagen- Land of Chameleons / Visions from Afar
Nolan Potter - The Perils of Being Trapped Inside a Head. (Psychedelia)
Drifting Sun - Veil
Rick Miller - One of the Many
Triton Project - Messenger’s Quest
Night Verses - Every Sound has a Colour in the Valley of Night.
Steve Hackett - The Cirkus and the Nightwhale.

Prog, Psych Prog & Prog Metal

From the cover art you’d think the fifth album from Austin’s Transit Method was a progressive death metal album. The fact that they actually have roots in both grunge and prog (think Skin Yard, Love Battery, The Fluid and mid-period Die Kreuzen mixed with the proggy alt rock of locals …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead) appeals to me a lot because while I like 70s prog, I just can’t get past the slick production of most modern prog and prog metal. But bands that rough it up with a bit of greasy garage punk, and grunge, like The Fierce & the Dead, Crown Lands and Mondo Drag, I’m all in. While the production has gotten incrementally cleaner and more accomplished on The Madness (2020) and this one, the prog metal retains just enough grungy flavor to keep them from sounding like hundreds of other stoner metal/heavy psych bands lumbering about the rock landscape.

If there is a Prog style you like, you will probably find it here. Recommend from Prog magazine.

Fingers crossed it doesn't pick up again due to the incoming winds - LA has taken enough of a battering already
