Just one more
Who's searching for
A world that ought to be
Pinned
Na na na na na na na, I wanna start a fight!

Pink wanted to start a fight, and Rocky answered the bell.

But you know he'll find a cure
He's cleaning up his systems
To keep his nature pure

Learning to match the beat of the Old World Man
Learning to catch the heat of the Third World Man…

Chevelle
Bright as Blasphemy
#5albums25

Another hard rocking album here. It's a good listen, but like the other hard rock albums I've already posted, it doesn't necessarily have to go into regular rotation.

Deftones
private music
#5albums25

Deftones aren't a band I ever really got into, but I thought this was a pretty strong album.

Yungblud
Idols
#5albums25

I wanted to check out Yungblud because of the Ozzy connection. I didn't exactly fall in love with the album, but I appreciate it. I'll probably play it again.

Bush
I Beat Lonliness
#5albums25

Bush released a pretty decent album this year with some pretty good riffage.

From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes
One moment's high, and glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightning
That flashes and fades in the summer sky…

Happy Monday #RushFamily 💕

Trust to your instinct
If it's safely restrained
Lightning reactions
Must be carefully trained
Heat of the moment
Curse of the young
Spit out your anger
Don't swallow your tongue…

Tracy Bonham
Sky Too Wide
#5albums25

Tracy Bonham's first album is an all-time fave (more on that when we get to #5debutalbums9599). I haven't followed her career closely since then, but I've definitely enjoyed her newest album.

Lady Gaga
Mayhem
#5albums25

I always appreciate an artist who embraces a wide variety of musical styles, and Lady Gaga qualifies (I love her albums with Tony Bennett for instance). Mayhem is the kind of synth-pop that made her famous, but still quite distinct from those earlier albums.

Live and love and dream
Eyes connect like interstellar beams

Needs all the comfort he can find

Spontaneous emotion

Jethro Tull
Curious Ruminant
#5albums25

Ian Anderson has been leading this band for well over half a century. Curious Ruminant is their twenty-fourth studio album.

Badflower
No Place Like Home
#5albums25

I first heard this rock band from LA with their 2018 single "Ghost," which was an outstanding track. This is their third album.

Lorde
Virgin
#5albums25

I just voted Lorde #1 in the #5debutalbums1014 poll. Virgin is her fourth album, and another strong effort.
December 17, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Garbage
Let All That We Imagine Be the Light
#5albums25

I played this quite a bit this summer, and I would say it's a contender for my five.
December 17, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Miley Cyrus
Something Beautiful
#5albums25

I thought Miley's previous album was one of the best pop records I'd heard in years, and I voted it #2 in #5albums23. While Something Beautiful didn't hit quite the same way, it's an ambitious concept album inspired by The Wall, and pretty good.

Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes…

Another record I am thrilled to discover. Although, this was one that I knew about and had long wanted to check out. Thankfully, this blogging journey gave me a chance.

Living in the Limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme…

Envy of None
Stygian Wavz
#5albums25

It was my most played album on Spotify, and I played the CD more than I streamed it. Layers of sounds and textures, with mesmerizing vocals by Maiah Wynne.
December 16, 2025 at 3:49 PM
I've listened to twenty-five albums released in 2025, most just once, others many times. I'll try to give most of these another listen before the vote for #5albums25, and maybe some others that I haven't heard yet.

Hi folks, we’ll take a little mid season break from the debut albums poll, as it’s that time of year when we traditionally vote on the best album of the current year, so it’s time for #5albums25 Voting for this one will commence on Monday 29th December at 7pm. Use the hashtag for recommendations 👍

Well, I guess we all have these feelings
We can't leave unreconciled
Some of them burned on our ceilings
Some of them learned as a child
The things that we're concealing
Will never let us grow
Time will do its healing
You've got to let it go…
