What Your Favorite Album of 2025 Says About You 2
-------
Tyler Childers - Snipe Hunt
You have a weird ass sense of humor but keep it under wraps at work. You’ve longingly stared out a rain streaked window while listening to this and considered calling your dad, but decided against it. When discussing this album online, you insist to detractors that there’s nothing political about it, but code switch around your liberal friends and mention Snipe Hunt’s “clearly anti-Capitalist” bent. You’re “Appalachia sober” (only drink moonshine when you’re around your old high school friends).
Parker McCollum - Self-Titled
You’re not exactly a country poser - you can put up a deer stand and your boots have been worked in - but you still reside on a cul-de-sac and drive a truck far too big and expensive for your needs. This is Parker’s first album in a while that you weren’t embarrassed to defend. Your girlfriend would drop you for him in a millisecond.
Chase Matthew - Chase
You fit the description of a bro-country fan circa 2014, but with a Malibu’s Most Wanted flair. Your parents are legitimately ashamed of you for multiple reasons, including the time you showed up to church in a white tee, gold chain, and sagging pants. Your girlfriend has been ‘about to turn 18’ for a couple years now. You don’t listen to Morgan Wallen, because he’s “too country.”
Jason Isbell - Foxes in the Snow
You sound like an NPR host in person, but every host of The View at once when you post on Threads or Bluesky. You’re torn between loyalty to Jason and your feminist obligation to believe Amanda on their whole divorce situation, so you just avoid the topic altogether. You’ve maintained friendships with MAGA folks, but have restarted your smoking habit so you can go outside when politics comes up at parties. You occasionally mix in some pop-country to lighten your mind, but only on YouTube so it doesn’t show up in your Apple Music history.
Jessie Murph - Sex Hysteria
You are the female version of a Chase Matthew fan. For some reason, you still drive your ex-boyfriend’s low rider. Your parents want you to put on a swimsuit with more bottom coverage when you lay out at the trailer park’s pool. You have a confederate flag tattoo above a Juicy tattoo on your thigh. You have been in more fights than the Paul brothers combined.
