At #1 is #Brat because #Brat is #Brat and it simply HAD to be #Brat. I really wanted to be different, but #CharliXCX is undeniable

Aw man, ALMOST being the best album of year but ending up at #2 is the astonishing #CHROMAKOPIA by #TylerTheCreator
#NE2024

#3 is #Petrichor by the always outstanding #070Shake. But let's talk about #ToufanAl-Aqsa, yeah?

At #4 is #RavynLenae with their exquisite second album #BirdsEye, because sometimes you just have to Appreciate. Motherfucking. CRAFT

Yeah, it you didn't realise, I'm also including one #Prince album a year in my year end lists, and we're up to 1985's #AroundTheWorldInADay at #5 this year

At #6 is #GodspeedYouBlackEmperor with #NOTITLEASOF21DECEMBER202445206DEAD. I updated the title for them. Not many jokes on this post

OK, OK, I'm the bigger man. #TheFool by #YoungJesus might include a bigger diss track than Not Like Us against ME specifically, but I still name it at #7

Tired of those fake-plug-talkin’ Tubi rappers? Let #JPEGMAFIA provide his continual alternative, with #ILayDownMyLifeForYou at #8

At #9 it's another band securing their hat-trick: #TheSmile with #WallOfEyes. But you all know what I'm going to talk about, don't you?

INTO THE TOP #10 BITCHEEEEEZ!! And who better to start it than with #serpentwithfeet, getting their hat track of #NecessaryEvil entries with #GRIP

At #12 with #BadCameo, #JamesBlake and #LilYachty manage to create a partnership that feels so weird and yet sounds so RIGHT
#NE2024

At #13, #AllieX kicks and screams and shouts like a bee sting on #GirlWithNoFace. Hit me with that super paaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!

14 years since their last record, and 17 years since they last made no.7 on this list (!), #LesSavyFav are back at #14 with #OuiLSF

I've already spoken at length about #Efficax's #15 album #Destruction, so I'm sure they won't mind me highlighting some OTHER destruction going on...

#MagdalenaBay have been awesome for a long time, but with the tight but expansive concept album of #ImaginalDisk at #16 they're finally getting their flowers

#17 is the incredible debut album by #LavaLaRue. #Starface is a little all over the place at times, but the sheer breadth and excess of creativity is thrilling
#NE2024
necessaryevil.blog/2024/12/15/1...
#18 is #WildGod, another brilliant #NickCaveAndTheBadSeed record, but we have to talk about how gross #NickCave is when it comes to #Israel
#NE2024
necessaryevil.blog/2024/12/14/1...
At #19 is #elbow - one of Britain's most important bands of the 21st century - with #AudioVertigo. A chance, obviously, to talk about the Six Day War and the #Ba’athist regime in #Syria
#NE2024
necessaryevil.blog/2024/12/14/1...
Into the top motherfucking #20, son! And #Tapir! with #ThePilgrimTheirGodAndTheKingOfMyDecrepitMountain aaaaaaaaand that's my wordcount

Mosh pit smelling like Chanel; Microsoft they're excel; nine, ten, eleven, fuck 12, #TierraWhack is #21 with #WorldWideWhack
#NE2024

At #22 #ZealAndArdor trouble your spellcheckers with #Greif. The band are still struggling to find their new voice, but at least this time the confusion is utterly compelling
#NE2024

#BellaTechnika, man, they may have made the #23rd best album of the year with #SolidState, but I only know exactly 14 things about them.
Here they all are

We all agree that people in their 40s should neither be seen nor heard, but at #24 #DannyBrown earns the right to tell us about his Mexican homie named Chinese Mike on #Quaranta
#NE2024

At #25, I basically explain how #JohnGrant shits all over David Bowie on his new album #TheArtOfTheLie
#NE2024
necessaryevil.blog/2024/12/08/2...
At #26 is #TheGreatBailout by #MoorMother, an absolutely essential dissection of the UK's role in the slave trade and one of the year's most incredible artistic statements

You thought #Hinds were done?? Fool! You can't kill #Hinds!! NOBODY CAN BEAT #HINDS !!!

At #28, #AlanSparhawk faces their grief with an admirable and musically audacious left turn
#NE2024
necessaryevil.blog/2024/12/07/2...
At #29 we go a bit Meta, as I somehow use #FutureIsland's first entry for a decade as an excuse to talk about #Bluesky
#NE2024

Entering the top #30 with #TheBronzedChorus, a band I know next to nothing about who make music I care about a great deal
