Our annual #Prince journey takes us to 1986, the exceptional #Parade, and the break up of the Revolution

#3 is #EUSEXUA, a career best by #FKATwigs, and also a chance for me to slag off other artists' reverence by reproduction

Her fear is my fear
Her rage is my rage
Her love is my love
Her blood is my blood

At #11 #Lorde puts her whole Lordeussy (perhaps literally) into the utterly fabulous #Virgin

𝟸̶𝟼̶ 16 Blondshell: If You Asked for a Picture
At #26... No, #16, it's too good. #Blondshell with #IfYouAskedForAPicture. Have you ever wondered why she doesn't sing about being poor much? #NE25 #NecessaryEvil2025
At #17 is #SharonVanEtten with #SharonVanEttenAndTheAttachmentTheory. Or is it the debut album by #SharonVanEttenAndTheAttachmentTheory? Whatever, my wordcount is d
#NE25
#NecessaryEvil2025

At #18 #Disiniblud (#RachikaNayar and #NinaKeith) force me onto a BIT of a tangent about suicides at Disney World #NE25 #NecessaryEvil2025

#NecessaryEvil2025
At #22 #LittleSimz changing producer on #Lotus might have been a forced decision, but it works beautifully
#NE25
#NecessaryEvil2025
#Wednesday are #23 with #Bleeds, an incredible career best collection of lumpenproletariat anthems that could only be improved with a Scarecrow Festival

My favourite genre - practiced by #NoJoy with #Bugland at #24 - is "Absolute Bangers"
#NE25

At #25 #Ninajirachi says that #ILoveMyComputer, but I wonder if it's more of a physical thing

#NecessaryEvil2025
#26 is #WetLeg with the disgustingly American spelling of #moisturizer
#NE25
#NecessaryEvil2025

#NE25
#NecessaryEvil2025
Rather than talk about #IrisSilverMist, another extraordinary album by #JennyHval at #29, I decide to get Kirked
#NE25
#NecessaryEvil2025
At #30 #Oklou is marvelously tapping into Peak Millennialcore Vanilla Midgets with #ChokeEnough
#NE25
#NecessaryEvil2025
#Yeule's #EvangelicGirlIsAGun is the #32 best album of the year, OK? Please make sure you appreciate context before you read this review
