  Ryan's Top 10 Albums of 2025

  Ryan Anderson

  Thematic/lyrical content: the period of time around the fall of the Roman empire and the subsequent fall of paganism and rise of christianity.

  Another album that leans heavily into its concept, Catechesis musically captures the conflicts of the time period with alternating moments of sinister dissonance and beautiful melody in a truly engrossing listen. Sporting incredible performances across the board, the drums are a specific highlight for me being intoxicatingly mesmerizing and showcasing really cool rhythmic interplay with the rest of the instrumentation. Rounding out the top 5, this is easily a highlight of the year.
