albums i've listened to since 10/25

in october of 2025, i made it my goal to listen to 100 "new" albums before october of 2026; so far i've listened to 26/100 (as of 1/13/2026)

in order to qualify here, the album has to be one i have never listened to in full before. so, no repeats of albums i've listened to before, but albums i've heard songs from can still qualify if i had never listened to the full thing before

the album i've listened to most recently will appear at the top. you can also click the album cover to listen to the album and the hyperlinks to hear some of my favorite tracks
