3) Songs of a Lost World (2024)

After a sixteen year recording hiatus, The Cure returned this year with what I feel is their most mature and thematically coherent album since Disintegration. Dealing with themes of aging, loss, and mortality, this is not even remotely a pop record, and yet I think it's clearly some of the band's strongest work to date. Incorporating elements of shoegaze, space rock, and gothic music, this album is powerful, innovative, and truly unique.
