Lauren Mayberry – Vicious Creature

Probably my most anticipated album for this year, it felt like it had ended up delayed and delayed. I was feeling pretty hyped over a year ago, during the initial tour, and managed to keep that hype going pretty strong, thankfully. Being hyped doesn't always make bias though, I have had plenty of albums I was excited for completely fizzle out. This is not one of those. If I have any issue with this album, and its not a big one because its something a LOT of albums suffer from these days, its the lack of overall cohesion. Every track…

Taylor Swift – 1989 (Taylor’s Version)

Taylor Swift's 1989, an album so nice I bought it twice. I may actually go in on buying it a third time later with a digital copy. Arguably her best album, though fans will of course argue over that until the end of time, it's certainly my favorite Taylor Swift Album. I have them all, and I've listened to them all, quite a lot.

Nirvana – Unplugged in New York

Nirvana's "Unplugged in New York" album, recorded for MTV's Unplugged show, holds a special place as a fan favorite. Released after Kurt Cobain's passing, the album stands out for its intimate and unconventional "Unplugged" set, featuring electric effects and covers of lesser-known songs. Notable tracks include their rendition of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World," "Lake of Fire" by Meat Puppets (with their participation), and the haunting folk song "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." This album allows Nirvana to showcase a different facet of their music, blending their signature grunge style with a more polished yet raw sound, making it a cherished classic for fans and music enthusiasts alike.

Sigrid – Sucker Punch

It's possible, that at some point, I am legally required to talk about this album (not really). I don't listen to a ton of Sigrid currently, though I have not moved on or anything, there is just so much other I want to listen to. I also probably burned myself out on Sigrid listening to her TOO MUCH. Her album, Sucker Punch still has a special place. I've always been into music, but I've never really been, ACTIVELY into music. I'm not any level of "hardcore" or anything, but there was kind of a perfect storm moment around me discovering…
