25 Favorite Reviews
These are *not* reviews of 25 favorite albums—rather they are 25 of our favorite reviews, of any album, in any genre. These mostly take one of three forms: reviews where our staff stretched and bent the form, taking fresh approaches to writing about the music; reviews of albums that caught our writers by surprise, in a good way; or reviews of albums that our writers absolutely detested. Each of these reviews is uniquely memorable in some way. Presented in alphabetical order by writer:
