    I'm almost as shocked as you are that this episode exists. I had to reach into my deepest depths to drag this one out of me. And I'm glad I did. Recording these is fun! Probably a lot more fun than actually listening to it anyway. I wouldn't know to be honest. Anyway, here we are. Let's talk about May. When I actually had an opportunity to listen to them, there were actually a lot of great albums in May! A few that will certainly stand the test of time as the year goes on, which is something I haven't been able to say about most records I've heard this year. Plus Drake. Albums discussed below! Boards of Canada - Inferno Drake - Habibti Drake - Iceman Drake - Maid of Honour Elder - Through Zero Iceage - For the Love of Grace & the Hereafter Koyo - Barely There Panopticon - Det hjemsøkte hjertet Pharmacist - Vertebrae After Vertebrae Static Dress - Injury Episode Visible Cloaks - Paradessence

    March 2026 - Fires

    Usually March is the month where winter finally decides to release its chokehold over us and give us long awaited reprieve. Unfortunately this was not the case this year. As I sit and type this on April 12, snow was still falling as of just a few days ago. Fortunately everything else in the world is going alright! Lol. But enough of that, how was the music? Mostly...fine...but one surprise release blew everything else that's come out this year out of the water. Speaking of surprises, a long-awaited return of...something occurs in this episode that long time fans have been clamouring for! At least in my head, anyway. Albums discussed below! Bosse-de-Nage - Hidden Fires Burn Hottest Chamber - this is goodbye... ELUCID - I Guess U Had To Be There James Blake - Trying Times Kim Gordon - PLAY ME Neurosis - An Undying Love for a Burning World OLTH - O. Poison the Well - Peace in Place

    February 2026 - Two for Two

    Welcome to the February 2026 edition of ph5. Please ignore today's date! It's irrelevant! Okay actually it's not. You'll learn why when you listen. That's not important though. What's important is that February was a killer month for new music. It was also a month that raised a few interesting questions for me, like what do we expect out of legends in their late careers? How important is being young to heavy music? Is there a mass psychosis on rock radio stations where the past 15 years don't exist? I don't really provide the answers to these questions but I sure do talk about them! Albums discussed below! Charli XCX - Wuthering Heights Converge - Love is Not Enough Eyelet - Solenoid Gorillaz - The Mountain hemlocke springs - the apple tree under the sea Mors Verum - Canvas MX Lonely - All Monsters Vibora - Egin Ez Dugun Guztia

    January 2026 - Ambition?

    It's cold outside. Like really cold outside. Is this the coldest January in a while? It certainly feels like it. January has been ice cold in terms of temperature, but to be honest, kinda also in terms of new music releases as well. So yeah, don't exactly go in expecting an all timer of an episode here. I did manage to salvage the episode though - barely - kinda like how vehicle owners were barely able to salvage their cars from underneath the 400 ft of snow we got this month. Oh yeah, happy new year and welcome back to the show! I waste enough of your time in the actual episode itself so I'm going to stop doing so in the description. Albums discussed below: A*** Trump - F***** B**** A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb By Storm - My Ghosts Go Ghost Colossal Rains - Feral Sorrow Feels Like Heaven - Within Dreams IDK - e.t.d.s. A Mixtape by .idk. Joyce Manor - I Used To Go To This Bar Stabbing - Eon of Obscenity

    ph5x5 - The Top 25 Albums of 2025

    Lot of fun weird number stuff going on here. This is the last episode of the 5th season of ph5...5x5=25. This episode covers my top 25 record of 2025. So yeah! That's a thing I noticed. Cool right. But anyway that's it, the year's over, and that means a podcast about lists could only end with one thing - one more list, but a bigger one this time. Overall, 2025...pretty solid. Lots of great records with a few potential all timers. In the past I've been a dick about it and made you listen to the episode to see the list but I've softened in my old age so here it is below. See you next year. 25. Militarie Gun - God Save the Gun 24. hell - submersus 23. Anxious - Bambi 22. Armand Hammer - Mercy 21. Blood Orange - Essex Honey 20. Lamp of Murmuur - The Dreaming Prince in Ecstacy 19. Kathryn Mohr - Waiting Room 18. Yellow Eyes - Confusion Gate 17. Oneohtrix Point Never - Tranquilizer 16. Dean Blunt - lucre 15. The Mars Volta - Lucro sucio 14. Deafheaven - Lonely People With Power 13. La Dispute - No One Was Driving The Car 12. aya - hexed! 11. Sudan Archives - The BPM 10. Turnstile - Never Enough 9. Nourished by Time - The Passionate Ones 8. billy woods - GOLLIWOG 7. Sanguisugabogg - Hideous Aftermath 6. Bad Bunny - Debir Tiras Mas Fotos 5. Rosalia - Lux 4. Purelink - Faith 3.

    November 2025 - Back Loaded

    Putting out a best of November episode in the midst of the week where every publication is releasing their year end lists makes this whole thing feel about as futile as you can imagine. But the year's not over yet!! Like I've seen so many pubs putting the Cameron Winter album and songs on their year end lists and its like yo! That album came out last year! Maybe if you hadn't jumped the gun on your round ups you wouldn't be in this ridiculous situation. Anyway. November was absolutely stacked. Albums discussed below. Armand Hammer - Mercy The Avett Brothers & Mike Patton - AVTT/PTTN Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin - Stygian Bough Vol. II Ben Quad - Wisher Blut Aus Nord - Ethereal Horizons Lamp of Murmuur - The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy Oneohtrix Point Never - Tranquilizer Rosalia - Lux

    October 2025 - Gates

    The only thing spookier than Halloween is when Halloween falls on a Friday, adding another slate of releases for me to get through before I can sufficiently start recording. Not to make it sound like a chore or anything! In fact, October was one of the strongest months of the year in terms of new releases. I'm just making excuses for my lateness. I was doing so good for like, a month or two there. This was another one of those months where any number of records could've hit that number one spot and I had to make some really tough decisions that I will probably regret later. That's what life's all about though really. Albums discussed below! AFI - Silver Bleeds the Black Sun Blawan - SickElixir Chat Pile & Hayden Pedigo - Into the Earth Again Militarie Gun - God Save the Gun Sanguisugabogg - Hideous Aftermath Stay Inside - Lunger Sudan Archives - The BPM Yellow Eyes - Confusion Gate

    September 2025 - Earnest

    I can't remember the last time I actually dropped an episode on the first of the new month. Is it because I'm that eager to talk about September's music? I just have nothing better to do? A healthy mix of both? I'm back in the right headspace to really enjoy new music again, so September's episode was a lot of fun for me! With only a few solid months of new releases left, each passing month has more pressure on it to deliver the goods. How did September do? Tune in and find out. Albums discussed below! Ariel Pink - With You Every Night Cardi B - Am I The Drama? Deaf Club - We Demand A Permanent State of Happiness Doja Cat - Vie Geese - Getting Killed Joanne Robertson - Blurrr La Dispute - No One Was Driving The Car Maruja - Pain to Power
