Welcome to the Decibel Boost Podcast album roundup for the months of March 2025. As the year starts to get further along, March provided an assortment of major new releases across various genres, and we have a solid cross-section to present here on the roundup! First, Alex talks about the new Rush 50 compilation, online drumming sensation El Estepario Siberiano’s new band The Cost, the newest studio album from Lady Gaga, and Steven Wilson’s latest proggy solo output. Next: Mark discusses Will Smith’s musical comeback, Flying Lotus’ latest film soundtrack, yet another new release from Boldy James, and digs deep into the latest material from clipping. Finally, Robert discusses Whitechapel’s return to their deathcore roots, Spiritbox’s follow-up to their debut record, and even briefly touches on The Wiggles going country… admit it, you’re curious.
