Great albums of 2024

Yo!

My favourite album of 2024 (so far) is Stranger Skies by Ellesmere.

Yo, I just peeped that Sykofant got added to the database. Bravo bravissimo! So let me tell you about this new album ‘Eternal Snapshots’  by the Sweden neo-prog band HFMC. This record is straight fire, man! HFMC really brought their A-game with this comeback album. The vibes are so chill yet intense at the same time, it’s like a rollercoaster of emotions. Check out this sick official vid with a jam from ‘Eternal Snapshots’ album:

They just straight-up released their debut album, dudes, and let me tell ya, it’s hella lit! Their sound is all about this sick blend of mad skills and deep storytelling vibes. This album they dropped on their own, oh man, it’s got everyone buzzing - from the local scene to folks all across the globe. It’s like next level stuff, with tracks that really make you ponder deep, you feel me? wait... what?!

 I done seen that Sykofant band gettin’ suggested for Progarchives, and lemme tell ya, there ain’t no way a prog band like them should be gettin’ rejected! I mean, have y’all even heard their tunes? They’re like a mix of that classic prog sound with a modern twist that just blows your mind, man!  It’s like they channelin’ the spirit of them prog legends while bringin’ somethin’ fresh to the table. So yeah, there ain’t no doubt in my mind that they deserve a spot on Progarchives. Let’s make it happen!

Supreme vocals, awesome production, enticing songwriting ... and many references to (and a really well-working fusion of) many iconic prog bands. Strong contender for album of the year!" (Mike, 3h ago)

Due to my prolonged deep dive into Jazz-Rock Fusion and newly-exaggerated love of funk, my musical listening interests have taken a bit of a left turn.

^ I did not accuse you of it, I asked whether it was the case. Mike brought up the idea of AI generated content a few posts up in response to you. I have wondered myself if it might be, and so I asked you if it was. What do you expect me to prove? Could you prove your location as listed, for instance?

By the way, people have been saying that you should be banned because you are Svetonio, something you deny, I was not fully convinced despite the major similarities until this response as I have seen this same attitude, phrasing, and defensiveness from Svetonio (or Svet clones). You have been flooding and I do believe that you have not been forthcoming. I am suspending you, and some have told me that I should have done it long ago, but I genuinely do believe in trying to give people the benefit of the doubt. More fool me. Svet or Svet clone, I don't care. Please control yourself and stay away for good this time. It was obvious from the moment you started posting that you were a past member, and I was at least convinced that you had been banned multiple times before (even the avatar gave it away). I do believe in giving people more chances, but some will never change or be willing to change.

^ Moyan, are you using AI programs to produce such content?

I'd much rather reviews in your own words that express your specific feelings of the albums than such produced or lifted content. And I think that personal touch helps with discussion here.

EDIT: Like how much of those kinds of posts come straight out of your brain (say based on your impressions of listening to the music)? I so wish that I could be confident that the PA forum is a refuge from AI generated content. I don't think it adds value to a discussion forum and I hate it for personal reasons.
