The Best, or Not, Albums of 2024
Tótum Revolútum Press readers vote for the best album, best debut and best Catalan album of 2024 — with a photo-finish tie at the top.
Roger Waters – The Dark Side of the Moon Redux
A scathing takedown of Roger Waters’s spoken-word reinterpretation of Pink Floyd’s classic — an old man nobody asked to hear from, talking over every track.
Tauk – Equalizer
A lean 35-minute instrumental record that fuses jazz-rock and prog with impeccable taste — short, good, and twice as good for it.
Hiromi – Sonicwonderland
A technically flawless quartet record that never quite shakes off the feeling of already-heard jazz-fusion ideas.
Green Carnation – A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex
Green Carnation close their Rimbaud-inspired trilogy with three band tracks and a 17-minute orchestral suite performed with no distortion, bass or vocals at all.
Beck – Ride Lonesome
Beck’s stripped-down fifteenth album, recorded with Nigel Godrich, hypnotizes for half an hour before its own reverb-soaked cohesion becomes a limitation.
Blood Red Shoes – Stay Lonely
Blood Red Shoes self-produce their seventh record — direct and sharp in its best moments, sanded down by glitch effects across the rest.
Raphael Weinroth-Browne – Empyrean
Raphael Weinroth-Browne builds a 44-minute record out of a single looped, layered acoustic cello — hypnotic at first, formulaic by the second half.
Angelus Apatrida – Aftermath
Spain’s biggest-selling thrash band delivers a punishing, 59-minute record that sticks to every genre standard — and does it very well.
Dear Sherlock – Object of Ridicule
A Hull–Porto duo’s Muse-indebted debut album shows what long-distance songwriting by file transfer gains — and loses.
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard – The Silver Cord
The endlessly unpredictable Australians swap guitars for synths on a mostly forgettable electronic detour.
Lalu – The Fish Who Wanted To Be King
A French keyboardist’s Saga- and Toto-inflected prog record, engaging and richly produced from start to finish.
Stoned Statues – Guardian
A Finnish trio’s second album is a superb, no-holds-barred statement — one of the bands to watch on the European prog scene.
Gong – Unending Ascending
53 musicians later, Gong’s current line-up honours Daevid Allen’s legacy with a classicist, meditative record.
Pattern-Seeking Animals – Spooky Action at a Distance
A record of two halves: an entertaining, melodic first act undone by a saccharine, dated-sounding second one.
Viven – Aquí en el infinito
A Barcelona band’s third record is let down by heavy mastering compression — the songwriting and live energy deserved better.
