He isn’t wrong saying that Knocked Loose is top dog right now. With a genre like metalcore, everything almost sounds the same nowadays, but Bryan and the guys created a standout record with a lot of diverse song structures. That catch and release they mastered stands out, and cranking the raw heaviness up to 11 while being juiced with horse steroids.

@@joaquin5929same here... Most probably it's because there wasn't enough space for another solo "artsy" female artist to make his list, in order to make it as diverse as possible, with Beth Gibbons taking that spot, which I think is acceptable. He gave Julia a strong 8 and Beth a strong 9 after all. There are obviously other solo female artists on this list, but they all kind of have a lot of different sounds, namely Chelsea Wolfe, Kim Gordon, Joanna Wang, Charli and I don't think all of them had a better score, and therefore he might have not loved as much, but are here for them standing out among the rest. That doesn't mean that Julia's latest didn't stand out, but maybe he felt there was a better album in the same vein sort of. He also left out The Smile, and last year he left out that Squid album in his mid-year list, then he included that in his year end, so maybe we'll have to wait for his year end list and hopefully Julia's will feature.

Hell yeah Lemon Twigs supremacy
My standout albums so far, in no order (subject to change lol) --Post Human Nex Gen by Bring Me the Horizon --Frog in Boiling Water by DIIV --Lives Outgrown by Beth Gibbons --Veritas by POD --empathogen by Willow --Only God Was Above Us by Vampire Weekend --Cowboy Carter by Beyonce --The Collective by Kim Gordon --My Stupid Life by Brittney Spencer --Little Rope by Sleater-Kinney --Prelude to Ecstasy by Last Dinner Party Pretty sure the new Lola Young will be a contender for the first half, but it just released two Fridays ago and I actually haven't listened to it in full yet. But the singles have been awesome and I'm excited to actually do a front-to-back listen.
Some of my favorites: Bright Future, A Dream is All We Know, You Like Music, Tidal Memory Exo, Fearless Movement, Shoelace and Knot, Samurai, Conla's Well, Scrapyard, This Could Be Texas, and Blue Lips.
Dropping my top 10 here: - Diamond Jubilee - Cindy Lee - Two Star and the Dream Police - Mk.Gee - Underdressed at the Symphony - Faye Webster - Deeper Well - Kacey Musgraves - WHY LAWD? - Nxworries - Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain - Raveena - Mika's Laundry - Matt Champion - Orquiedias - Kali Uchis - Bright Future - Adrianne Lenker - BRAT - Charli XCX I do have some bubbling up too through revisits and re-listens. But 2024 has been fantastic so far! I am not sure if I heard an explicitly bad album so far this year!! Happy BRAT summer bitches!!!
Great video man ❤
Brat is an absolute modern classic
Yeat's 2093 is one of the best trap album of the last few years for me and I think it deserved a spot here.
truly one of the biggest years in music in quite a while
Dude, thank you so much for the Cindy Lee recommendation. I am fucking loving it!
respectfully this channel has a lot of promising potential, hopefully you will become big soon Cheers Man Keep Up The Good Work
I’m really waiting for the new Opeth that has been hinted towards, hope you review that when it comes out
Top 10 of the year so far for me 1. Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us 2. NxWorries - Why LAWD? (not lord melon) 3. Judas Priest - Invincible Shield 4. The Lemon Twigs - A Dream is All We Know 5. ARTMS - (Dall) 6. MGMT - Loss of Life 7. Charli XCX - brat 8. Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft 9. The Decemberists - As it Ever Was, So it Will be Again 10. St. Vincent - All Born Screaming

When cowboy Carter first came out I listened to it a lot to the point where I wondered if I just gassed it up for no reason. I took a break and listened to lots of pop and dance. Then I listened to it again recently and realized it’s actually really good. It sounds so good on the ears.
Thanks Melon, I finally know what my favorite albums of the year so far are and I don’t have to keep listening to Vultures 1 on a loop.
Although you and I have different tastes, Anthony, I really appeciate your thoughtful reviews. Thank you. I'm moticing several other KZread music reviewers are essentially using long clips from your reviews and commenting on them. I am curious about your take on this? Thank you, Anthony.

Ulcerate - "Cutting the Throat of God" (This will almost certainly be higher, but I need more time with it) 14. Eivør - "Enn" 15. Kelly Moran - "Moves in the Field"

LUPE REVIEW PLSSSSS
So... decided to put Hotel La Rut on based on the shout out here. First off... it would appear the album title is a reference to a Kids in the Hall sketch. So props there. But I'm about halfway through at the moment and... the best way I can describe it in a nutshell Susanne Vega meets TMBG. It's wild.
Still patiently waiting for your thoughts on the recent Mount Kimbie - The Sunset Violent. One of my faves of the year so far.
Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Charli, Cindy Lee, The Smile, and Beyonce! What a year so far for music!
Hey Anthony are you planning on reviewing the new Pond or new Islands?
Classic intro. The Cindy Lee album is special.
The ladies are killing it this year😎
Guess we all have our own tastes but I find it hilarious almost none of mine overlap with Melon's. 1. Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven 2. IDLES - TANGK 3. BIG SPECIAL - POSTINDUSTRIAL HOMETOWN BLUES 4. Brittany Howard - What Now 5. Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us 6. Master Peace - How To Make A Master Peace 7. Elbow - Audio Vertigo 8. Gary Clark Jr. - JPEG RAW 9. Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft 10. KMFDM - Let Go
LETS GO MGMT IS ON THERE Btw afaik you never reviewed any Caravan Palace album Opinion on the latest one?
Gave that Joanna Wang album a spin. What an incredibly versatile artist and great songwriter
Cindy Lee #1 spot
Scrapyard does have some great songs but I hope his next project leans towards his more vibey, RnB style rather than his industrial existential dread type beat, type-songs. imo easier is the best song on that project by far and some of the best songs on I didn’t mean to haunt you are the ones with clearer song structures.
Hey, do you have any plans to review Right Place, Wrong Person by RM??
Charcoal Grace by Caligula's Horse is an absolute banger prog metal album that came out this year! Highly recommend, those guys are super talented and deserve way more attention.
my 10 favourites (kind of in order): - Night Verses - Every Sound Has a Color In The Valley Of Night: Part II - Greyhaven - Stereo Grief - ERRA - Cure - Bilmuri - American Motorsports - Ghost Atlas - Dust of the Human Shape - Softcult - Heaven - Dead Poet Society - FISSION - Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us - Maruja - Connla's Well - Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She

Did you listen to Rachel Chinouriri’s debut album? I noticed earlier videos praising her EPs but can’t find anything discussing her debut album which was great. Curious about your thoughts!
Gotta listen to 41 world. Such a fun collab
So was The Lemmon Twigs album just a Giggens 9 or a Fantano 9?

Metro Boomin X Future (We don't Trust You) 7. NxWorries (Why Lawd) 8. MGMT (Loss of Life) 9. Vince Staples (Dark Times) 10. Joanna Wang (Hotel La Rut) There's probably something I forgot lol. I'm not entirely sure about BITW being first because there are so many good records, but it's an insane debut. It kind of sucks that I can't put Lupe Fiasco's Samurai on this because I liked it a lot.
