Top 10 BEST Albums Of 2025
There have been some amazing releases this year, and it’s time to take a look at what was great. This video looks at the Top 10 BEST Albums Of 2025.
I do feel that 2025 was an amazing year music-wise (even if rough in mostly every other aspect of life) and I want a video like this to help others find something they’ll enjoy. Hopefully, I explained why each album belongs on the list and you are able to look up something you find that interests you. Not all types of music are for everyone, but I do think this list has SOMETHING for any music fan.
10. Whitechapel Lonely People With Power
The ability to create something truly guttural and core-shaking has become a staple of Whitechapel and there appears to be no slowing down over the years and albums. If anything, they feel as invigorated and strong as ever.

9. End It Wrong Side Of Heaven
This is the quintessential hard of hardcore done right. Loud, full of energy, at breakneck speed. End It is a blast, and the wrong side of heaven is a place I’d now like to visit.

8. The Callous Daoboys “I Don’t Want To See You In Heaven”
Now that I see how deep and twistedly involved something like I Don’t Want TO See You In Heaven can be, it’s made me more than a curious fan of The Callous Daoboys. I want to see this band excel with this hallucination style of writing AND bring it to the stage because it’s great.

7. Chat Pile & Hayden Pedigo In The Earth Again
The noise rock and avant garde combination was an amazing idea that I don’t think many would have ever put together, but deep in Oklahoma came something in the earth…again…I tried my best to shoehorn the title in. Best I got.

6. Turnstile Never Enough
It was a banner year for Turnstile who I think are starting to become clearly a focus in the music world, outside of heavy music. THE NPR performance, being praised by Elton John of all people, I think Turnstile stepped up when all eyes were on them this summer, and in turn they made one of the best summer-vibe albums in years.

5. Sleep Token Even In Arcadia
We saw the continued climb of Sleep Token to huge levels through Even In Arcadia, I doubt that climb will be over any time soon. I’m hopeful that Vessel can go back to lore and stop having to sing about h ow he’s stalked by his own fans.

4. Scowl Are We All Angels
Hardcore, Alternative, Grunge, 90’s throwbacks, tons of speed changes, and a lot of personality from Kat Moss. Scowl has evolved fairly quickly in only a couple years but in doing so they are soaring. Scowl has made their own identifiable sound through SEVERAL styles and that is not easy.

3. Deftones Private Music
It’s a good feeling knowing that the band I grew up and that helped get me into music is the same band doing that same thing, for kids and teenagers in THEIR youth. Deftones cross-generational appeal is rare, but so are Deftones in general.
_
2.) Spiritbox Tsunami Sea
This is now my favorite Spiritbox album, even more than Eternal Blue, and Spiritbox’s doubling down on heaviness while still structuring different low riffs to the growl of Courtney LaPlante, all proves that at heart this band is more metal than metalcore.

1.) Deafheaven Lonely People With Power
Lonely People With Power is the best Deafheaven album since Sunbather, and in my view, it matches Sunbather in quality and what it offers. I recommend Lonely People With Power to ANYONE who is into heavy music of any type or sub-genre. It’s that special album that can prove metal isn’t dead through many different reasons.
