McKinley Dixon - Magic, Alive!
NR

Great delivery, some cool jazzy sounds and switch ups, can be a little wild at times though. This also might be a skill issue but I struggled to follow the lyrical story and the songs didn't hook me to make me want to come back and listen again. So I've kind of pushed myself to listen to it more often because I obviously see the value in the record.

Wet Leg - moisturizer
NR

Best way I can define this is quirky. Which means it's fun, but also a little odd with the lyrics sometimes. Pretty standard indie rock stuff but does have some good catchy songs that get stuck in your head.

Inhaler - Open Wide
NR

This album takes me back to high school with the 2010s indie vibes, it reminds me so much of the band COIN which I was obsessed with. Songs like A Question Of You are really fun and make me feel like I'm back in that era. Album starts off strong but kinda fades as it goes on.

Natalia Lafourcade - Cancionera
NR

It's not something I listen to very often but I always appreciate her stuff. Some very cute songs like Cocos En La Playa and El Palomo y La Negra which enjoy coming back to.

Men I Trust - Equus Asinus
NR

I can't be too harsh when it was meant as a two album release, and I appreciate them having their own different sounds. That being said, I don't really return to this one.

Men I Trust - Equus Caballus
NR

Certainly the better of the two new albums they dropped. Some cool sounds but overall still much of the same Men I Trust we're used to.

Men I Trust - Forever Live Sessions Vol 2
NR

Two new albums dropped this year by them and yet THIS is the one that's stood out for me. It's pretty amazing how they can take already great songs and make them even better. Serenade Of Water and Ring Of Past on here are perfect perfect.

t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 - 君のいない世界でまた一日が過ぎた [Another Day Has Passed in a World Without You]
NR

Somehow this has become my favorite late night chill background album. 20 minute songs yet it doesn't feel like it drags at all. Nice and vibey, very pleasant to listen to.

Dijon - Baby
NR

Like with all Dijon albums it's got a lot of quirky stuff in it and one or two top quality bangers. Love yamaha it gives me prince or early janet jackson vibes.

Kali Uchis - Sincerely,
NR

Incredible production, Kali really delivered on that end. Fairly concise as well which has been an issue of hers, although maybe on the lengthy side. The lyrics hold it back a little this time around. Overall though it's pretty crazy how she can put out high quality stuff so often AND literally have a baby.

Stereolab - Instant Holograms On Metal Film
NR

stereolab are back to some of their best. Always enjoyed their sound, it's not anything crazy but still pretty nice.

Rebecca Black - SALVATION
NR

I think she's doing some cool stuff but it didn't have the same lasting impact on me as some other similar pop records have had.

Mei Semones - Animaru
NR

Incredible sound, incredible song progressions and guitar abilities. Some of my favorite rock music of the year. The song Rat With Wings is an perfect highlight of what she can do and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Ethel Cain - Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You
NR

Fuck Me Eyes and Nettles are some of the best songs of 2025 and the album is sonically very impressive, albeit a little hard to endure fully through.

Reneé Rapp - BITE ME
NR

I heard Leave Me Alone as a single and I was like oh shit maybe she's got some cool stuff up her sleeve but the rest of the album does not keep that energy going unfortunately.

Tyler Childers - Snipe Hunter
NR

Nose on the Grindstone is a great song and there's some fun songs in there but there's also some weirder songs lyrically/instrumentally which threw me off.

she's green - Chrysalis
NR

She's green for an amazing reason. Great refreshing shoegaze, would love to hear more from them.

Addison Rae - Addison
NR

Production continues to impress me every time. With a little more work on the lyrics this could be something incredible.

Bad Bunny - DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS
NR

It starts off strong, kinda fades in the middle, and gets better towards the end. I think he could've done a lot more in terms of mixing together the different styles because towards the middle it just kind of sounds like any other bad bunny record. I'll admit I can't follow the lyrics that clearly so my critiques mostly come from the music itself.

Yeat - DANGEROUS SUMMER
NR

Goes pretty hard. Especially COME N GO.
