I’m finally ready to reveal my favorite albums of 2025. I probably listened to 50-60 LPs and a dozen EPs this year, and here are my favorites, with heavy emphasis on darkwave/EBM, doom metal, indie rock, garage rock, hardcore, post-punk, punk, and shoegaze. My favorite album of the year was Die Spitz’s debut LP Something to Consume, an awesome blending of punk and metal influences.
