2024 is almost over and our HQ got a lot busier than usual. Our editors were tasked to pick their 10 favorite albums of the year, a task seemingly mundane but, factually, incredibly frustrating. The guidelines were, much like every year, clear: 10 albums/any genre/in no particular order. Others chose to play it safe in the genres they are experts in, others chose to combine genres, but ultimately most people cracked; in some cases the final lists were changed multiple times, some final lists were turned in last minute, and of course some people had minor breakdowns and explicitly asked to never do it again in the future.
If our woes amuse you, then by all means keep reading, to see which albums mildly traumatized won our editors over, and maybe you'll discover a little gem that you missed out on.
