|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paris PalomaThe Fatal Flaw“The pop singer delivers a forceful, canny blast of pop rage on her second album.” | Spectrum Culture | 75 75/100 | 81 | Nov 3, 2026 |
| Madison BeerLocket“Locket is a slow-and-steady evolution of Madison Beer's best features. It's a highly satisfying, seductive, heartbreaking, heartbroken pop opus.” | PopMatters via Wikipedia | 70 7/10 | 74 | Jan 20, 2026 |
| Blonde RedheadBlonde Redhead“Blonde Redhead prove they've got just as much style as substance on their new record. They follow their instincts and make remarkably well-crafted music.” | PopMatters | 80 8/10 | 67 | Jul 9, 2025 |
| Tame ImpalaLonerism“Future generations may well consider that Tame Impala’s sophomore effort is to the early ‘10s what Are You Experienced? or Sgt. Pepper was to the Summer of Love.” | Spectrum Culture | 80 80/100 | 87 | 2023 |
