New in 2025

Favorite releases from the year of the snake 🐍

Sorted by release date newest > oldest

  1. Alex G

    Aside from spamming πŸ”‚ on Runner at various points over the past few years I haven't listened to Alex G much lately.

    This is probably my most listened to album of the year so far though. It makes me feel like I'm back in college.

    Favs 🌟

    • Louisiana
    • Oranges
    • Far and Wide
  2. Justin Bieber

    I love it, but despise the skits. I hardly know who Druski is but feel obligated to defend him and say he was set up for failure here.

    I'm glad we finally got a really good Bieber album. I think there are places in here where he got in his own way though. I take no joy in saying I think this is his peak. This is not a low peak, by the way. I think he may just be a high floor, low ceiling guy.

    I'd be remiss(!) not to mention my favorite line (which is from the SOULFUL skit).

    Druski: Your soul is black, but your skin is white, Justin.

    Justin: Thank you.

    21 tracks, less than 1 hr, 3 skits. Remarkable shit, really.

    Favs 🌟

    • Daisies
    • Yukon
    • Go Baby
    • Glory Voice Memo
  3. HAIM

    I love every Haim album but this is probably my favorite one. Seeing them live this summer. Gonna rippppp.

    Favs 🌟

    • Relationships
    • The Farm
    • Blood on the Street
  4. The Convenience

    What more can be said? These boys have me in the palms of their sweaty little hands.

    Favs 🌟

    • I Got Exactly What I wanted
    • Pray'r
    • Western Pepsi Cola Town
