Please do so [here].

The form is in 3 parts, with the last section being optional:

• Part 1: your username (or what it would be if you could create an account here);
• Part 2: your top 10 LPs of 2025 (so no EPs, Live Albums, Compilations, singles that are somehow in the database, etc.). Please note that a ballot needs at least 10 entries;
• Part 3: this section is optional. However, if you can sneak in anywhere between 11-25 LPs in total across the two sections, have at it!

Additionally, please continue to hype up your favourite records so far this year in the comments, in threads, in lists, or wherever else your collective hearts desire on the site.

Below is a very short list of new releases (a healthy chunk being live albums) for December 5th, 2025. Feel free to jam the playlist below, request reviews from staff and contributors, let us know what you’re looking forward to this week (in music or otherwise), and remember: it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times…?

Alison Wonderland – Ghost…

Guys, gals, and non-binary pals: cuffing voting season is upon us!

The tl;dr: if you would like to submit a ballot so that your voice is heard for the site’s Top 50 LPs of 2025, please submit yours [here].

The tl;dr of that tl;dr:

1) The ballot is in three sections. The first is your username (even if you can’t create an account, remember your password, etc.). The middle third is your (mandatory) top 10. The last portion is completely optional, but you can include picks 11-25 on it. Please be sure to submit your ballot officially! You can go back and edit it as long as the form is accepting submissions.

2) For now, we’re going to stick to LPs, so please do not submit EPs, Live Albums, Compilations, singles that are somehow in the database, or any other non-LP item.

3) Please strive to ensure the artist and album reflect what’s in the Sput database, even if it’s not technically correct (since we can’t seem to figure out a solution for ampersands, artists with the same name, non-Latin characters, and the like). By having artist and album in separate cells, we can try to fix any accidental errors.

4) Deadline is going to be on or after December 4th at 11:59PM EST (it will not close early — we promise).

5) Please continue to hype up your favourite records so…
