Popular Reviews

This phenomenal album should absolutely be in the original list, it’s amazing to me that it didn’t make it. Thanks to whoever added it!

Fly by Yoko Ono

This is, by far, the worst album on either list. It is a shame that a) we can’t score 0 and b) it exists

A Complicated Woman by Self Esteem

As the nominee of this, I’ve been waiting for it to appear for a listen! The best album of 2025 deserves to be on this list, which is by its nature, biased against modern music. I can see some of the (presumably) men commenting are Very Angry that it has been nominated, which I’m sure RLT would enjoy. I nominated it as it is a phenomenal piece of work, presenting her arcing vocals with a mix of wit, anger, sass and vulnerability. And after listening to some absolute dross on both the main and bonus lists, I’m even more convinced this is worthy of inclusion.
