The Best of 2025 So Far

It’s after July first, and by the time you see this it will be the last week of July. But I figured I’d take a stab at a “best of the year so far” as a lot of music writers do.

Now that we’re in Q3, we are closer to 2050 than we are to 2000. That’ll cook your noodle.

Albums that have sold me hard on artists I hadn’t been very into before 2025

Albums that prove Rock n Roll is not dead, just evolving into new and interesting things

Albums I didn’t get enough time for but still lingered with me

Albums by artists I’d never heard before that stuck instantly

Albums by artists I’m always talking about but I feel like i have to mention them
