All the albums I listened to in their entirety for the first time in 2025. There's some where I went in completely blind, and some where I was already familiar with some songs. Hover over each album for details.

I've color-coded the album titles according to where I found the album.

Blue: I've had it on my "to listen" list for a while.
Yellow: I found it randomly.
Red: I specifically found it through Tumblr.
Purple: The album was personally recommended to me by someone I know.
Green: New release from an artist I already follow.
