La Dispute - No One Was Driving the Car
95

I didn't like how they released the entire album except for two songs ahead of time, but La Dispute is the greatest band of all time so they can do whatever they want. This 95 will probably evolve to a 100 over time.

Petey USA - The Yips
90

Bro is the king of music

Benson Boone - American Heart
60

Bro is so overhated, it's crazy. The songwriting is a little corny, but honestly its better than pretty much every major Top 40 artist. The dude has pipes and the ballads absolutely soar. Usually not my cup of tea and maybe the rating is a bit inflated because I don't understand the hate, but I might actually come back to a few tracks.

spill tab - ANGIE
90

I love spill tab

Toby Keith - Toby Keith
85

Pretty dynamite country album. Lots of different sounds. First two tracks absolutely carry this thing.

Customer Service - to you, after 2000 years
85

FFO Mom Jeans and Pallette Knife

The Weeknd - Hurry Up Tomorrow
60

Whoever said this is "mopey and overlong but it has its moments" hit the nail on the head. I'm absolutely exhausted but Niagra Falls is one of the best songs the Weeknd has released in a long time. Take out a bunch of the unnecessary filler and this could be a very palatable album.

NIA NADURATA - Still Living With My Parents
85

A nice little bedroom pop/indie EP. Every song is good in it's own right, but Practice is one of the better songs I've heard in a very long time. That single will be on repeat for the rest of 2025.

Mom Jeans / Graduating Life - Split
85

Can't believe this was released 7 years ago already. Shred Cruz is crazy and Metallica Rocks is one of the best songs ever written.

Post Malone - F-1 Trillion
65

Disc 1 definitely stands out, highlighted by some nice pedal steel and features from Hank Williams Jr, Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, and Sierra Ferrell. I Had Some Help grooves, and the nod to classic country is appreciated. The solo pop-country on Disc 2 is a much more formulaic listen, bringing the albums overall score down. If he would have cut Disc 1 down to 14-15 songs and released it, this album would feel a lot less bloated and would be a much stronger contender for album of the year.

What You Once Were - make amends and disappear
70

Another really cool scramzy styled album early in the year. Just Let Me Go's I.L.Y.S.M has a similar sound and is well-worth checking out if this album is up your alley.

Cheekface - It's Sorted
70

Discount CAKE is still incredibly good.

Neck Deep - Neck Deep
85

When you were one of the biggest bands in your scene over 10 years ago, sometimes the gutsiest thing you can do is stay true to your sound.

Teezo Touchdown - How Do You Sleep At Night?
60

A bit of a disappointing album from a guy who has so much star power. 2020s Social Cues was one of the best and most interesting songs I've heard in recent memory. While this album is filled with the same type of eccentricity, nothing really jumps from the pages. In spite of this, Teezo is still a rising star, and I'll be looking forward to the sophomore release.

Remi Wolf - Juno (Deluxe)
95

The additional songs enhance what was already nearly a perfect album.

KennyHoopla - BLINK AND YOULL MISS IT//
55

I appreciate the new wave of pop punkers bringing the genre to younger generations, but most of these Travis Barker collaborations are simply devoid of any semblance of creativity. A fine listen, but not going to blow you away.

Bowling For Soup - Don’t Mind If We Do
50

Bowling For Soup doing a bunch of covers, sounding exactly like you would expect Bowling For Soup to sound like. Why not?

heavn - House
70

Two tracks in under 4 minutes. Both are pretty good. Looking forward to what this may evolve into.

Sammy Adams - Boston’s Boy
50

As a rap album: 2/10
As a frat rap album: 8/10

I Call Fives - Not For Everyone
80

Over 10 years without an album and I Call Fives has not skipped a beat. A long awaited release from one of the more underrated pop punk bands of the late 2000s. Nothing new or innovative here--just I Call Fives doing what they do and doing it well.
