I'm home crook today. Neurosis keeping me company.
Neurosis' new one is just incredible. An epic return from the wild.
It's Wednesday so I might as well share my preliminary AOTY list with you.
3 out of the top 4 are from Austria wich is a nice coincidence.
New Genghis Tron coming!
And the first single from their new album is more direct than Dream Weapons (even though I love this record, it diverged from their original recipe; this first title sits somewhere in between their earlier sound and their latest album). Definitely #AOTY material.

10 track album
The new #Hellripper album was pretty good, but next week the new #Codefendants album is coming out. It’s going to be an absolute banger and is currently the top contender for my #AOTY.
If you haven't heard of the Codefendants yet, give them a spin.
That Neurosis album strikes a nerve I didn’t know I had. Nor that it was that exposed.
#AOTY-contender for sure.
Pat Metheny - 'Side-Eye III+' (2026)
On his new album #PatMetheny in his new trio format returns to the familiar #PatMethenyGroup sound, complemented by a stunning choral arrangement. Wonderful melodies, fantastic playing as ever. Album of the year #AOTY already? #MethenyIsMagic
