My Favorite Music of 2024
These are some of my favorite albums and singles of last year.
The selection criteria is similar to last year:
- Released in 2024
- Saved as a favorite
- Listened to at least a few times
Albums and EPs
ARTMS - <Dall>
My favorite K-Pop full album from 2024. I liked all songs but Birth needs a special mention.
Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere
A perfect mix of Prog and Metal.
Cavalera - Schizophrenia (Re-Recorded)
Max and Iggor do it again. This was the missing piece for re-recording the first few Sepultura albums. Like in the previous ones, there’s a mix of modern and old-school sound.
Eternal - Cryptic Lust
I can’t get enough of that old-school Death Metal sound.
ILLIT - SUPER REAL ME
Great debut EP with dreamy teenage Pop songs. Magnetic is the earworm of 2024.
Job For A Cowboy - Sun Eater
2024 was a great year for Progressive / Technical Death Metal.
The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ectasy
Almost my favorite album of 2024. It has elements of previous decades but still sounds fresh.
Nia Archives - Silence is Loud
Songs that can work well in both the dancefloor and the living room.
Opeth - The Last Will And Testament
One of my top 5 albums of 2024. All songs are over 5 minutes, none of them feels too long.
RESCENE - SCENEDROM
Great comeback EP after 2 great debut singles this year. Pinball is one of my favorite songs this year.
RM - Right Place, Wrong Person
Probably my favorite album of 2024. RM, the leader of BTS, goes into experimental territory.
Softcult - Heaven
Dreamiest album of 2024.
SUMIN, Slom - MINISERIES 2
The sequel to MINISERIES brings more high quality R&B.
Pending
I didn’t have enough time to properly listen to all albums I wanted this year. Here’s what I want to revisit in 2025

Singles
There are too many singles I liked, so I’m listing only one per artist and omitting artists in the Albums and EPs section.
