Bob Dylan’s ‘Love And Theft’ Turns 25 | Album Anniversary

Where ‘Time Out Of Mind’ was drenched in murky, reverb-heavy production, ‘Love And Theft’ was something else entirely: dry, warm, well-written and self-produced under the pseudonym Jack Frost.

Jay-Z’s ‘The Blueprint’ Turns 25 | Album Anniversary

Jay-Z made damn good albums before ‘The Blueprint,’ as well as some afterwards. But his sixth studio affair remains the album where everything came together.

P.O.D.’s ‘Satellite’ Turns 25 | Album Anniversary

P.O.D. have enjoyed a prosperous and influential career to date, but their most successful project to date remains their breakthrough fourth album.
