What are your favorite albums from the 2020s? (lemmy.ml)

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

All for When (2020) - Anthony Kos

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.

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

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

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

Saxon - Carpe Diem (2022) is a good one.

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!
