New Sensation: Favorites of 2024 (...So Far)

On this epic-length reviewcast return, New Sensation comes back with a bang as Connor and Hadley discuss some of their favorite video games, books, movies, and music they’ve played, read, watched, and listened to in 2024. There’s some nostalgia for ‘90s video games, adoration for science fiction blockbusters, and a discussion of a queer monster novel, but mostly, this New Sensation episode focuses on the duo’s ten favorite albums from 2024 so far. While this year in music hasn’t had as high of a hit rate as the last couple years, there are some albums that push boundaries, reinvent genres, and have sparked vital, fascinating, and simply entertaining cultural discourses that will continue throughout the rest of 2024. Check out the podcast for commentary, and check out the Spotify link below for a playlist compiling our favorite albums of 2024 so far.
