I've always held the belief that music wasn't better in the past, people just have survivorship bias. What are your genuine favorite albums of the last few years?

Personally, I'm loving The Rime of Memory by Panopticon, Ants from Up There by Black Country, New Road, and Hellfire by Black Midi.

I'd probably have to go with Nightwish Human :||: Nature

It's a very solid album, but to be honest I'm not sure if I've even listened to any other album in full from past couple years

  • Bring Me The Horizon | POST HUMAN SURVIVAL HORROR
  • YOASOBI | everything is post 2020
  • Paula Hartmann | everything is post 2020
  • Toe | η‹¬ζΌ”δΌš "DOKU-EN-KAI

It's a bit hard to find stuff that is new that I've actually listened to a lot, but it's not because there isn't new stuff just because I have no new music entering my rotation except from artists I already know, other media or friends recommendations. And music from other media often doesn't end up being on any album.

Jockstrap - Wicked City

I'll second Black Midi - Hellfire obviously

Bobbing - Mixtape

And now I'm faced with the fact that most of my favorite recent albums are at least 5 years old

I know this is a weird choice but the Lustmord tribute album "The Others" is probably my favorite of the decade so far. The first half is pretty close to the dark ambient Lustmord is known for, but as the album goes on it has some more melodic contributions which are really spectacular.

Ethereal Shroud's "Trisagion" album is really great if you're into metal. Also with regards to metal - the song "Aggressor" by Vredehammer is crazy good, especially the first 2:20 or so, but the full album doesn't quite match it for me.

"Aether" by The Moon and the Nightspirit is wonderful folk music from Hungary, but they've had a few other albums in the past that match it for me.

Listen to Ado’s Utattemita Album, it is all covers but they are all amazing

I know them all, she's my favorite musical artist. 可愛くてごめん (kawaikute gomen) is my favorite of those, I'd say.

I think 愛して愛して愛して (Aishite Aishite Aishite) was really good, her cover of unravel is also solid. I liked it better than the original.

A fellow connoisseur! I and a friend we're looking to get tickets for the world tour, sadly, it seemed they were sold instantly.

If I could figure out how to follow people on Lemmy with jerboa, you'd be the first.

Some new stuff I’ve been jamming on lately

Fiddlehead - Death is nothing to us Scalp - Black Tar Zulu - a new tomorrow Zulu - my people…hold on

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

KOAN Sound - Led By Ancient Light definitely tops my list.

And a couple of King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard albums, but I've seen them mentioned already! I'm sure there are probably some more that I'm blanking on right now - I'll check my music library and edit this if I think of some more!

Haken's Fauna was my top album of 2023. An absolute gauntlet of amazing prog metal.
