Today/the last week, I have been mostly listening to Instant Rewards by Tides from Nebula, along side their previous album From Voodoo to Zen.

Currently it is Phantogram's latest album, "Memory of a Day".
EDIT: If your interest is recent releases, then I think that mehro's latest album, "Trauma Lullabies" is also very good though a tad short.
$uicideboy$ - G.R.E.Y.G.O.D.S.
Cursive - Devourer (sic?)
My album game is super weak at the moment because I'm heavily into experimental.
if Let's Paint Tv had an album it would probably be that.
or OK Housecat
The Tragically Hip - Live Between Us
High mare - dead pirates
Periphery III
I've been listening to Wolfie's Just Fine a lot recently

Upbeat: Kraftwerk - tour de france
Downtempo - a.s.o. - a.s.o.
Destiny Potato - Lun
I've been beating Dance Gavin Dance's Jackpot Juicer to death recently, every time I listen to it my favorite song on it changes. Swallowed by Eternity goes HARD.
Young Ejecta - Ride Lonesome has been my favorite for this month.
Sprints - Letter to Self
Who's Who Ulterior Motives baby!
Big Wave by Tatsuro Yamashita
I don't know if I could ever pick a favorite album, it just depends on the day, but if there is one that I come back to most often it's Incubus's S.C.I.E.N.C.E. It's indulgent in a fun, unserious, sort of manic kind of way. They play like kid's in a musical candy shop, and when I listen to them the feeling is mutual. Honorable mention to Afungus Amongus.
The Loop by Volkor x (available on Bandcamp)
Also on YouTube: Volkor X - The Loop [FULL ALBUM] (2023)
Free Throw - Those Days Are Gone.
It's just a solid album top to bottom and I've been vibing with it for awhile, now.
The same as 40 years ago
Why Would I Watch by Hot Mulligan.
Hand of Juno just released their first album, Psychotic Banana, and I've been binging it for a solid two weeks. Good mix of heavy and melodic, and good variation between songs. Got its hooks in me.
I will say, some songs are different enough that they almost sound like different artists, so if you check them out it's worth trying a few tracks. "Polline" and "Destroy the Line" are my favorite heavy songs. "The One", "We've Built the Line", and "Not a Game" are my favorites on the melodic side.
A Boat On The Sea by Moron Police. Can't wait for their next album!
i don't do albums. as a kid, we basically only had recorded-from-radio cassettes. when we got a CD player in like 1999, we mostly bought those "now that's what i call music" collections. i didn't really listen to music myself at all until like 18-19. i didn't see the point. as a result i basically can't sit through an entire album of the same genre.
is this weird?
Probably not, there's plenty of people who mostly just listen to the radio and don't own much music. Sounds much the same. If it doesn't work for you then it doesn't work for you!
If you ever get into vinyl, you will appreciate the album format a lot more.
That's so interesting! As a kid I remember not liking much music until I found some individual songs that I loved, then I couldn't get enough and albums were my thing!
I'm a bit of both on albums - some I have on end to end no matter what (R.E.M especially), but then there's some bands I'm like you and wander off halfway through! :)
Trying to think of bands that genre-hop and might be fun for you end-to-end on one disc
that would be interesting! the few "albums" i have gone through recently have all been by mashup artists, so the genres have been all over the place but the "touch" of the artist has been there throughout.
