Top 100 Music Albums of 2025
by DrewHamster 
In the process of ranking these.
Not eligible on BEA, but a special shoutout to:
Flume X JPEGMAFIA - We Live In A Society EP. - Best Track: AI Girlfriend
Kibra - Trapped in the Spotlight (Soundtrack) - Angel Shot
fleshless body/Sidestep - Split - Cordless Phone
I also decided to not include David Bowie's I Can't Give Everything Away Compilation. I think it would far and away be the winner, but that's mostly because I already know and love the songs and the shear amount of content it contains. It just doesn't feel that new.
