As this 8th year of The Cassette Chronicles comes to a close, it is time to once again look back at ten of the albums I wrote about in the series this year.

There were 24 new articles this year and I enjoyed writing about each album that the series covered. That shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to anyone that has been reading the series for any length of time. Heck, even if there’s an album I don’t care for too much, I think I usually have a good time writing about the reasons why it didn’t really resonate with me.

The great news is that thanks to the continued support of Jay and Katie from Limelight Magazine. The Cassette Chronicles will be returning for a 9th year in 2025. I’m not sure exactly when the first new piece will be up but it will be either January 2nd or January 9th.

I wanted to thank everyone who has read the articles this year. Whether you’ve gone directly to the site or clicked on a specific link on whatever website or social media page I’ve posted the articles on, your support for this series is greatly appreciate.

Here’s to another great year in 2025 but until that starts here’s the ten albums I’ve chosen (in no particular order) to spotlight for 2024.
See you next year!
