Close your eyes and grab something random from your collection. Chances are something here will think it sucks.

Voodoo Lounge is 30 years old. This means the Stones have been releasing mediocre music for more than half my life,

They were mediocre before that. Try over 40+ years

Not sure why your AOTY would qualify as a “hot take”. Regardless, here’s a thread that would be much more apt for this list…
Best of 2024! August!
- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds — Wild God
- Yui Onodera — 1982
- Zeal & Ardor — Greif
- Nails — Every Bridge Burning
- Lia Kohl — Normal Sounds
- Spirit Of The Beehive — You’ll Have To Lose Something
- Pneuma Hagion — From Beyond
- Luna Li — When A Thought Grows Wings
I had a few more I was going to include, but on reflection they were only there to make up the numbers and I really disliked them...

In my mind - the Pedro / Madi / Fut. Is. top 3 seemed hotish-takish at the end of Brat-girl summer and where we saw releases from: Beyoncé:, The Smile, A. Leneker, Jack White, Sturgill Simpson, Fontanes D.C. Chief Keef and Los Campesinos and other darlings of the boards and which don't make my list.
If not - maybe the Hot Take is that this is a Hot Take.?
Otherwise, my mistake.

I think I've seen a lot of folks on here put that Pedro as their aoty so far. It's had a great reception.Out of an abundance of Caution, I put it here.

I say this as a huge country rock/alt country fan and with a healthy love of his work with the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, but I find Graham Parsons’ solo work to be kind of boring and more than a little slick.

I've tried a few times and it doesn't click with me either, despite also enjoying his work in those other bands. The solo stuff leans a bit too hard in the direction that I don't care for in country sounds.
I never thought of it as too slick before, but that seems like an apt descriptor and possibly what doesn't do it for me with his stuff either.

I almost went with the yacht descriptor.
