    Best New Music 2025 Edition

    I don’t usually listen to much in the way of new music, but I will say that Ethel Cain’s first release this year, Perverts, was a super interesting project. It’s a drone album, so lots of drawn-out, slow, repeating passages, that marry the sound she established on her debut with something even...

    Rush Permanent Waves (1980) 1. The Spirit of Radio - Permanent Waves hits the ground fucking sprinting with Rush’s second most iconic song. Alex twists around a mind-melding guitar intro before Neil and Geddy jump in to join in the fun. This song is a celebration of music and the radio stations...

    Rush Hemispheres (1978) 1. Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres - We fall from out of the skies into a world not too different from our own. Bright, sparkling, swirling guitars begin this more grounded sequel to the space oddity we heard on the previous album. The first chapter, "Prelude", is an...

    Rush A Farewell to Kings (1977) 1. A Farewell to Kings - A renaissant acoustic intro transports us away from futuristic Canada, instead bringing to mind an England of yore. A very subdued, nostalgic opening for this album. The band delightfully adds in a wispy synth and pretty little bells...

    Rush All the World's a Stage (1976) Rush collect material from each of their first four albums and pop out their first live record. It's a good first showcase of their power as a live act. The performances are pretty tight and the setlist is mostly made up of classics. "Bastille Day" and...

    Rush 2112 (1976) 1. 2112 I. Overture - A spacey sci-fi synth piece opens this behemoth like wind in stardust. Enigmatic, mystifying - and then the band kicks in. Slowly, at first, toying with you, your attention piqued, before taking off into a sprint with the opening riff, mixing distortion...
