Albums I listened to in 2024
I don't know how to organize this lol. Okay. Maybe by genre for now? My notes were not in depth because they're on my phone's notes app and I am just going to present them as is, with maybe some editing so that they are actually sentences. Also worth mentioning that I have listened to some of these previously and was just revisiting them. Also, for genres...I'm just doing whatever Google says the artist is. I don't wanna get into all of that right now.
My top tracks for each album can be found here.
