Prism’s Top 10 Albums of 2025 #bestof2025 #endofyearlists

"It’s a thinker of an album, political without being preachy, morbid without being gratuitous, and overall, an attempt to bring joy through music and story, a joy that is not without a conscience or concern." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/22/c...

"Catherine has blossomed into something like a jazzy Weyes Blood, looking at the mythology of America and, like Jack Kerouac, penning her own bohemian On The Road." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/21/c...

"It’s his raw and relatable poetry which makes me think that Paul and Vein Rays could make a run against up-and-coming bands like Geese and Cameron Winter." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/18/v...

"This is one of my favorite albums of the year, so far, and channels and builds upon Sufjan’s’ The Ascension period, with all its heart-moving electronic sounds." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/12/j...

"Overall, it is a solid first offering. The singer songwritery stories are satisfyingly laid on top of some of the best instrumental music being created right now." @mfaaband.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/11/m...

“The album is expertly composed and presents a mature songwriter, who takes his craft extra seriously.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/08/f...

“But it is situated solidly in the best of the folk, singer songwriter genre, a testament to Tomo’s ability to write and to sing a song.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/07/t...

"The album comes from the famous phrase, 'The life you save just might be your own,' but Wasner admits that she doesn’t just want to make it out alive and on top, she wants to bring her struggling loved ones along with her." @flockofdimes.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/03/f...

"But the beauty of this album, is that she gives a beautifully-rendered country melee... to these hardships, that acts much like a well-written musical, to soundtrack our hardest experiences." @rebeccaportermusic.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/02/r...

"He’s been at the grindstone of this indie rock thing for a while, creating his own homegrown music that is appealing for its absolute originality and its kinship in sound to some of indie rock’s best." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/11/01/b...

“There is a childlike quality to Tweedy’s volcano-like creativity, but what erupts is usually some of the most mature and thought-provoking lyrics and sounds of our time.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/10/27/j...

"If you find yourself seeking personal truth and shared experience as if you’re a scientist, you might really like this deep and resounding work of art." @nathanielbellows.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/10/25/n...

“And any band that can sound like both Manchester Orchestra and MJ Lenderman on one album—in one song, even—I had to check out.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/10/24/f...

“The overwhelming feeling that I (and probably many people felt) was a thankfulness that we have a bold voice for ‘our’ generation, who’s willing to put in the work to put on a great show.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/10/23/m...

“She’s gotten much better through the years, I think, and her latest is perhaps my favorite sonically that I’ve heard.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/10/07/t...

“But really, who else would you want to be winning at this game, than someone who keeps it as real as Alex G does.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/28/a...

“It is a fitting follow-up to a record that put him on the musical map with his memorable melody lines and the duo’s visceral alternative rock attack.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/28/a...

“It is a pretty and pretty deep album, you should check out if you like pop artists who are deeply rooted in folk colorings.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/22/c...

“With all of the confusion and pain that comes with life, you’ve gotta take a chance on living a little, they offer to their listeners in songs that are measured on the scale of indie alternative rock mettle, and not found wanting.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/20/p...

“If you like the appeal of a “fringe festival,” where each of the bands is just professional enough to make for quality entertainment, you might really enjoy Shakemore Au Go Go.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/18/s...

“Rachel’s voice is hypnotizing and the band, though they are adept at many different styles, have a funky, raucous style all their own.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/12/l...

“Pretty songs, pretty deep, too. If you like folk music with satisfying attention to detail, check this out.” @marianrunk.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/08/m...

“Is there anything as under-appreciated as Motown, really?” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/07/02/s...

“The way I say it, it sounds cliche. The way they sing and play it, with their own brand of triumphant mystical exploration, it sounds like the forming of clay into a pot or the cutting of trees into a house.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/06/29/b...

“His songs are a bit like lightning in a bottle: capturing the tenuous interplay between love and loss, home and wanderlust, forever and the pregnant present moment.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/06/27/j...

“If you like literary music, artists who operate with a scalpel on the sometimes unsavory human species, you might really like McMurtry’s music.” @curtismcmurtry.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/06/22/c...

“I’d give this album a perfect ten, for its vocal and lyrical riches, matched with remarkably nostalgic arrangements.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/06/20/j...

“I have watched this, and the other videos, almost every day, for weeks, a first for me.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/06/14/d...

RIP Brian Wilson

“The change she sings about in ‘Ghost’ is a change that determines what artists are really going places and what artists get trapped in their own fears of transcendence.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/06/06/c...

“Imagine hearing PJ Harvey for the first time. Or Courtney Love’s Hole. Bonanno, who channels both of those epic female rockers, yet has her own sound.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/05/28/e...

“She knows the power of a compelling anthropomorphic fable, a Robert Frost-like poem, or a nature-rich metaphor.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/05/27/j...

“The album is like a love letter from a mother or a best friend, giving spiritual advice, reminiscing on the past, and promising to be the person in your corner.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/05/24/s...

“But that is the magic of a new mewithoutYou record, especially a live album, is that it gives their avid fans another look into a character and a group of character who have revealed a heck of a lot of their mysteries to the world.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/05/05/m...

“Whether it is the wounds that we received as children, the rivalries that arise in ‘civilized’ society,… or the ongoing mythological and spiritual story that we find ourselves a part of, the album covers a lot of ground.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/05/04/c...
