2025 has been a fantastic year for music, but also a terrible year, depending on where you have been looking. For now, I'm going to stay on the positive side and share my top 5 albums of this year.

5. I LOVE MY COMPUTER

I Love My ComputerNinajirachi · 2025Listen on Spotify

This album is an absolute blast from start to end. So energetic, so full of character and life. The production is just so layered and dense that you can feel each song in your bones. Immensely fun.

4. CHOKE ENOUGH

Choke Enough is really unique. It feels liminal and eerie. It provides a feeling of nostalgia for something that doesn't feel real. The vibe of this album is so hard to describe but once you listen to it, you'll know exactly what I mean.

3. GETTING KILLED

Getting KilledGeese · 2025Listen on Spotify

It took me a while to get this album to click with me, but once it did, I couldn't stop listening. Really well formed tracks and Cameron Winter's voice just gels so well with the instruments. Love it.

2. THE ART OF LOVING

This is an extremely well written album following the story of a relationship from it's first steps to it's unfortunate end and beyond. Very classy, beautiful production and incredible performances.

1. EURO-COUNTRY

Hands down the best album of the year bar none, and one of my all time favourite albums now. A genuine masterpiece. Nothing else to say.
