the album cover for “NEVER ENOUGH” (2025) by Turnstile

12/31/25 - 365/365

NEVER ENOUGH (2025) - Turnstile

there’s some bangers on here, but there’s also some that just kinda pass by like a ship in the night. not enough for me to say it’s excellent

the album cover for “How to Drive a Bus” (2021) by I’ve Made Too Much Pasta

12/30/25 - 364/365

How to Drive a Bus (2021) - I’ve Made Too Much Pasta

reminds me of the funkier bits of they might be giants, but with a furry bent that’s fun. maybe a bit too long, but it’s fun if you don’t take it too seriously :3

the album cover for “Carpe Diem, Moonman” (2025) by Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

Carpe Diem, Moonman (2025) - Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

just a step behind where pogo rodeo would be just a few months later. honestly a great introduction to a bad i would’ve never listened to due to the name lol

Pogo Rodeo (2025) - Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

everything here is pretty damn great, especially the first handful of tracks which are stellar. love the western vibe coating the album too

the album cover for “Not A Furry Album Cover” (2024) by Betu

12/28/25 - 360/365

Not A Furry Album Cover (2024) - Betu

there is legitimately no missteps on this album. absolutely peak for 30 minutes, with guitar and electronic mixes that are amazing. and the final song kinda reminds me of a pink floyd song

the album cover for “FEET OF CLAY” (2019) by Earl Sweatshirt

12/27/25 - 359/365

FEET OF CLAY (2019) - Earl Sweatshirt

dunno if i just am not in the right headspace, but nothing really hit me here. just kinda bleh

the album cover for “Let God Sort Em Out” (2025) by Clipse

12/26/25 - 358/365

Let God Sort Em Out (2025) - Clipse

absolute quality for the entire runtime. i also felt like i could grasp this more than some other albums ive listened to in a similar vein. absolutely great stuff, i understand why some people are calling this the album of the year

the album cover for “A Charlie Brown Christmas” (1965) by Vince Guaraldi

12/25/25 - 358/365

A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) - Vince Guaraldi

probably one of the best christmas albums ever. feels so light and airy, each song is so iconic. legendary stuff honestly

the album cover for “If You Only Knew” (2025) by And Beyond

12/24/25 - 357/365

If You Only Knew (2025) - And Beyond

pretty good hip hop album, their aussie accents add a lot i think, and their flows in some moments remind me of tyler, which isn’t a bad thing. I think the last two tracks kinda drag it down, but still good overall :3

RETVRN

the album clover for “Noble and Godlike in Ruin” (2025) by Deerhoof

12/23/25 - 356/365

Noble and Godlike in Ruin (2025) - Deerhoof

a good album with a lot going on musically. there are a lot of elements in this album that are more obtuse to me, which drags it down more. maybe on a future listen id be able to appreciate it more

the album cover for “Live Laugh Love” (2025) by Earl Sweatshirt

12/22/25 - 355/365

Live Laugh Love (2025) - Earl Sweatshirt

ive always loved how unique earl sweatshirt sounds on his projects, and this is no different. every song brings some new ideas to the table, and it stays consistently good, and doesn’t overstay its welcome by any means

the album cover for “Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 6)” (2019) by The Caretaker

12/21/25 - 354/365

Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 6) (2019) - The Caretaker

a perfect finale, especially the last 20 minutes. almost made me cry, just because of the implications of what’s happening. im so glad i was able to check out, and to a degree enjoy, this piece of art

the album cover for “Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 5)” (2018) by The Caretaker

12/21/25 - 353/365

Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 5) (2018) - The Caretaker

at the begging the sounds can be more rhythmic, i could almost hear marching or something akin to a soviet number station. by the end, the sounds had lost all connection, and just started happening

the album cover for “Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 4)” (2018) by The Caretaker

12/21/25 - 352/365

Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 4) (2018) - The Caretaker

the first half was the hardest to get through because it is harsh and almost scared feeling. once the “temporary bliss state” began, it felt much more calming, like an understanding of the new norms

the album cover for “Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 3)” (2017) by The Caretaker

12/21/25 - 351/365

Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 3) (2017) - The Caretaker

the end of the good times before we finally jump into the deep end. it has more cheery bits at the beginning that slowly feel more and more distant, until the end, where we’re ready to dive deeper

the album cover for “Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 2)” (2017) by The Caretaker

12/21/25 - 350/365

Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 2) (2017) - The Caretaker

there’s a lot more nuance here than i would have expected. there’s more menacing tones, mixed in with some hopeful ones. maybe representative of the good and the bad days

the album cover for “Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 1)” (2016) by The Caretaker

12/21/25 - 349/365

Everywhere at the End of Time (Stage 1) (2016) - The Caretaker

you can definitely tell this is the beginning of the end. it feels like the songs and structure is about 90% there, with bits repeating and the graining of the sound. it’s all downhill from here

the album cover for “Illusory Tracks” (2022) an EP by G Jones

12/20/25 - 348/365

Illusory Tracks (2022) (EP) - G Jones

made very well, but i just don’t mesh with the quick hitting, powerful electronic beats that well. just not for me

the cover for “Gothic Mountain Bluegrass” (2025) an EP by Clover-Lynn

12/19/25 - 347/365

Gothic Mountain Bluegrass (2025) (EP) - Clover-Lynn

the genuine soul and creativity really comes through in a short burst like this, feels really fun to listen to. the production noisiness can be grating at times, but it’s honestly great

the album cover for “Shore” (2020) by Fleet Foxes

12/18/25 - 346/365

Shore (2020) - Fleet Foxes

in my opinion, a definite step up from crack-up. still maybe a tad bit too long, but there’s more songs that actually make an impact here compared to the last. good album!

the album cover for “Crack-Up” (2017) by Fleet Foxes

12/17/25 - 345/365

Crack-Up (2017) - Fleet Foxes

while lovingly crafted for sure, it doesn’t hit me nearly as much as their first album, and even their second. each of the songs come and go, and none stay to differentiate themselves from each other

the album cover for “Helplessness Blues” (2011) by Fleet Foxes

12/16/25 - 344/365

Helplessness Blues (2011) - Fleet Foxes

to me, kinda feels like a step back from their previous album. feels less focused and jumps around more. still good, but not as cohesive as i expected

the album cover for “Catching Chickens” (EP) (2024) by Nourished by Time

12/15/25 - 343/365

Catching Chickens (EP) (2024) - Nourished by Time

love it similarly to their other projects, but this maybe feels a tad bit more melancholic in the tone. still great, even at its shorter length comparatively
