Below are my favorite new album releases of 2025! I settled on a top 10, and then listed all the other albums I liked enough to purchase on vinyl or CD this year in just a very vague order of preference. These are new albums only, no reissues or live albums. #AOTY #NewMusic #AOTY2025 #NewMusic2025

This mainly tracks…except I think YouTube maybe confused Steven Wilson’s “The Overview” for ”space facts” 😂😂😂

Great way to kick of the Thanksgiving weekend last night by partying in the city with Wolfgang Van Halen and his band Mammoth at House of Blues. My 3rd time seeing Wolfie and he is so killer. Myles Kennedy opened and he’s also amazing, I had never seen him before. #WVH #Mammoth #LiveMusic #MusicSky

Amazing show last night from Richie Kotzen at the Arcada Theater in St. Charles. Kotzen always brings it but he even seemed to have something a little extra last night! Great stuff. #RichieKotzen #LiveMusic #MusicSky

So after my first listen, I think the new Spock’s Beard album is fabulous! The self-titled epic is really awesome, that, Next Step, and Afourthoughts were the standouts for me after listen #1. It’s both thoroughly modern prog and classic Spock’s Beard at the same time. #SpocksBeard @spocksbeard.com
