This year, I’ve decided to simplify things a little bit. This post is not split into various genres, the albums are not ranked from worst to best, and I haven’t written more thoughts on any album than I previously had.

The Best Thing I’ve Heard All Week: Kilter – La suspendida
I’ve been a huge fan of the progressive metal band Kilter since their Axiom album back in 2020, and they’ve kept busy with the amazing Sys album and, coming in March, La suspendida. This upcoming album is an experience on a whole other level.
