24. Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere I really like this a lot but also prog metal is always incredibly difficult to mix with extreme metal and this is no exception. Some really cheesy parts but a lot of really superb parts. 23. Dissimulator - Lower Form Resistance Excellent prog-thrash stuff that gives hints of Vektor at times but very much its own identity. 22. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD” I mean it's Godspeed, they're always gonna be one of the best of the year but I'm surprised people think so much more highly of this than their last two records, both of which I think are better (especially Luciferian Towers which is everyone's least favorite but I think it's fantastic!). 21. Charli XCX - Brat This seemed kinda overhyped at first blush. I still think it kinda is but this is definitely a very creative, impressive spin on electropop and I understand the lyrics are also very personal even though I'm not a big...

(CW: mild spoilers) It's finally here! The long-awaited sequel to 2022's breakout horror comedy Adult Swim Yule Log has arrived and it is really quite something! Picking up where the first movie left off, we follow Zoey (Andrea Laing) through a new adventure as she deals with the trauma she suffered in the first movie (including carrying an axe with her wherever she goes) and trying to stop living in a horror movie and start living in a Hallmark Christmas movie.
