The ten BEST new albums released in 2025
“Altar” by NewDad – Source: en.wikipedia,orgIt’s that time of the year again — time for posting our favorites in music, film, TV, etc. The year 2025 has been one filled will great music, especially from Ireland. Of my top ten albums released in 2025, four of them are from the Emerald Isle, including numero uno. The United Kingdom is represented by Wolf Alice and YUNGBLUD, while the United States is represented by Hayley Williams (lead singer of Paramore), Momma, Deep Sea Diver, and El Paso’s very own Late Night Drive Home.
This year was the first time that Wolf Alice has released a full-length album that did not get listed as number one by me. There are several songs I love from The Clearing, but the overall album did not resonate with me like past ones have. Meanwhile, Altar, the second full-length album by NewDad is utterly fantastic from beginning to end with excellent tracks and splendid lyrics. Another surprise is the lack any bands from Canada in the top ten given how well The Beaches and Valley did last year and Metric has done in the past.
Here’s my list – hope you get a chance to listen to them, especially Altar by NewDad. Peace!
