-
Hayden comes through with a pretty powerful prequel that improves upon its predecessor in many respects.

Anamanaguchi pull off a more rock-oriented direction pretty well on Anyway.
-
-
While it starts to feel a bit samey toward the end, Alfredo 2 is still a pretty satisfying sequel.
-
Despite a few lulls in NGU's tracklist, Open Mike Eagle is still in a lane all his own as a wordsmith and humorist.
-
A lot of eclectic elements are balanced very well on black british music (2025).
-
REST IN BASS delivers on the cathartic potential of rage music.
-
Matmos come through with a solid textural concept on Metallic Life Review.

Hayden ends his Motor Trilogy on a very pretty and evocative note.

While not bad at all, Phantom Island is a bit of lost potential for King Gizz going in a more orchestral direction.
