List season again, baby! Our 50 favorite albums of 2025 run the gamut: trip-hop to indie folk, emo-pop to alt-country, shoegaze to math rock. Thanks for sticking with The Alternative for another year, in the age of AI and pay-for-play and click-chasing. You could be reading anybody\u2019s year-end list right now, but you\u2019re reading ours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As ever, if you like what we do, we really cannot do it without you. If you\u2019d like to show your support, you can subscribe to our Patreon<\/a> or snag a t-shirt on our Bandcamp<\/a>! Even if you can\u2019t, I\u2019d would like to stress how much it means that you\u2019re willing to come to us when you need new tunes. If this list is any indication, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll let you down.<\/p>\n

Keep on scrollin\u2019 to see our 50 favorite albums of 2025!<\/p>\n
