Welcome to the Decibel Boost Podcast album roundup for the month of October 2024. In what was easily the most packed month we’ve had in a while, not only did the monthly release calendar bring plenty of noteworthy highlights to the table, but the hosts themselves have quite the stack of records to work through (including some crossover from November’s releases because it’s our podcast and we do what we want)! First up: Alex dives into recent remasters from the likes of Mastodon, Green Day, and Porcupine Tree, The Cure’s first new record in 15+ years. Charli XCX’s star-studded Brat remix project, and more! Next: Mark talks about the latest projects from the Griselda camp (Westside Gunn, Benny the Butcher & 38 Spesh), the newest EP from Flying Lotus, Megan Thee Stallion’s Megan: Act II, and new releases from Freddie Gibbs and GloRilla! Following that: Robert discusses the other side of the post-ETID split with Better Lovers’ debut LP, the farewell release from Japandroids, Blood Incantations newest proggy death metal project, Chat Pile’s latest descent into the horrors of existence, a metal tribute to one of the biggest indie games of the past few years, and the unfortunate letdown that is Fever 333’s new project. But wait, there’s more: with a new Tyler the Creator album out, the crew discusses their shared thoughts on Chromakopia!
