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.

Although my favorite KGLW albums are from 2019, there are great ones from 2020 onward as well.

I'm also liking Expert in a Dying Field by the Beths right now.

Since Google Play Music went away, I think it's been harder to find new stuff I like. Recently, I've found better new stuff on my local public radio station.

KGLW never stops putting out bangers, they're machines.

I actually end up browsing Rate Your Music for whatever happens to be recently released and highly rated, and listen for myself before deciding to buy the album or not. I've stopped streaming except as a means to preview albums, supports the artists more and lossless sounds better to my ears, or at least higher quality MP3s. Can't tell between the nicer MP3s and FLACs tbh.

My favorites are Nonagon Infinity, KGLW, and PetroDragonic Apocalypse. So they're pretty consistent across time IMO.
