2025 was stacked with incredible music — but a lot of the best albums got buried under algorithms and playlists.
In this video, I break down my Top 10 Albums of 2025, focusing on records that don’t just sound good… they feel good — especially on a real hi-fi system.

From indie rock and post-punk to doom metal, slowcore, and chamber music, these albums reward focused listening. I talk about the sound, emotion, musical influences, and why each record stands out — plus how they perform from an audiophile listening perspective.

If you love discovering new music, vinyl culture, and albums that actually benefit from good speakers or headphones, this list is for you.

🎧 Albums featured include artists like:
Wet Leg, Deafheaven, Turnstile, Messa, Patrick Watson, Benjamin Booker, Garbage, Teethe, Sharp Pins, and Brass Camel.
