"Somebody better wake up Green Day, because September is over! This month was a whirlwind of great new albums and impressive statements. It hasn't even been a week, but Geese's phenomenal new record Getting Killed feels like a timeless gem; meanwhile, Cardi B resurfaced with her fiery, long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?. Plus, rewarding returns from the likes of Wednesday, Algernon Cadwaller, Liquid Mike, Nation of Language, Parcels, and more."
"If anything has discernibly changed in the chemical reaction of their music, it's an added sense of lived experience in the lyricism. Frontman Peter Helmis' shouts feel just as impassioned as they did on past releases, but now come accompanied by an additional sense of perspective, looking both outward and inward. As a result, their usual angst remains warranted, timely, and urgent."
September 2025 produced a flood of notable album releases spanning indie rock, emo revival, pop, hip-hop, and experimental R&B. Geese issued Getting Killed, which many listeners find timeless, while Cardi B returned with the fiery sophomore Am I the Drama?.

The month also included rewarding releases from Wednesday, Liquid Mike, Nation of Language, and Parcels. Several records balanced raw performance energy with matured perspective, offering urgency alongside reflective songwriting and clear statements of artistic growth.
