It's frustrating to see staff member "Ryan P" put out a list of 100 albums that doesn't even have 100 entries, as well as making a year-end list with a month to go in the year. Staff should be held to a higher standard. |
Hawks
12.03.25 | HAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
Emim

jrlikestodance
12.03.25 | Not seeing Sleep Token |
GreyShadow
12.03.25 | love 1 so much |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Almost done! |
combustion07
12.03.25 | Bookmarked. I’ve barely heard anything from this year. 3 is getting jammed first |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Hell yeah bro, enjoy! |
Dewinged
12.03.25 | You couldn't wait huh , nice list , plenty of overlap with mine. You should check the new Omnium Gatherum Hawks. |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Could be edited if something catches my attention this month. ;]
Thanks buddy, I've heard new Omnium Gatherum and I'm not a fan sadly lol. |
DoofDoof
12.03.25 | Great list! I need to check your top two |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Hell yeah brother, get on em hard. I think you'll dig both. |
mkmusic1995
12.03.25 | Nice list dude! I don't know how you get this stuff done so quickly, I'm just starting to work on my list now and relistening to albums from earlier in the year lol |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Thanks buddy!! I keep my list going all year long so its easier to put together at the end lol. |
Titan
12.03.25 | 24 is my favorite of 2025
not the best year for metal considering how we got spoiled the last few years |
Hawks
12.03.25 | GOOD CHOICE!!! Yeah, last year was monumental, but this year wasn't too shabby. |
Titan
12.03.25 | i knew you would appreciate my selection! and it truthfully is my fave. great album... |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Its amazing indeed my brother. |
Demon of the Fall
12.03.25 | even if this list was utter tripe (it isn't) you'd deserve praise just for completing 100 entries on Sputnikmusic.com in the year of our lord 2025
3 & 4 are nice and high! |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Thanks brother!!! Very much appreciate that. And absolutely, honestly the top 15 here were hard to rank outside of 1 being my clear AOTY lol.
Was gonna wait to do this, but this ranking is pretty solid and there's no more heavy hitters that I'm anticipating would make it anyways lol. At least that I'm aware of. Always ones that slip through the cracks regardless tbh. |
pyroflare77
12.03.25 | smh not including one of the 16 skramz releases Damian did this year
Half joking aside, this is good because I need to check more dm from this year. Feels waaaaay too lopsided in bm's favor these death lads are slacking. |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Lmao that guy releases too much damn music. But yeah, get on some of the dm albums here bro, you're sure to enjoy at least a couple of them! |
pyroflare77
12.03.25 | letterstoyou - s/t, then for life - demo eleven, demo nine, ...and still it flutters, and the split with body shirt are the top 5 imo in order. If you were curious/wanted some guidance. |
Hawks
12.03.25 | For sure bro, I'll give them a shot. So hard to keep up with all of his stuff and different projects. |
jrlikestodance
12.03.25 | Nice to see that Dario Zenker make the cut |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Absolutely brother, love that one a lot! |
AlkemestRedux
12.03.25 | Hooded Menace definitely deserves that spot. Such a killer album m/// |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Yes it is indeed!!! |
WretchedCacophony
12.03.25 | heard 5 and 69... nice
and that's good enough for 2025 I think |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Damn lmao. |
AlkemestRedux
12.03.25 | But have you heard
6 7 |
Thibs
12.03.25 | solid list as expected. i love the hangmans hymn re-recording! Messa and Agriculture are too low and 7 kinda sucked but lots of my favs here, props. many on my list that I haven't yet checked, so thanks for the reminder! |
Hawks
12.03.25 | They're right where I need them to be and 7 is amazing! Lol thanks brother, much appreciated. |
Tundra
12.03.25 | 1 - 100 are all quite subpar I would say |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Wow, what a zinger. Stay up all night thinking of that Mr. Sput Villain? |
Inveigh
12.03.25 | killer list man! bookmarked m/
dat der weiner freezin' album rules hard |
Hawks
12.03.25 | Thanks buddy!!! Yes the hell it does. |
lucazade22
12.03.25 | Very happy seeing 1 and 6 so high up this list! |
Hawks
12.04.25 | Hell yeah my man, love them so much! 1 is a hard 5 for me. |
jrlikestodance
12.04.25 | The new Anthony Naples is worth a listen. I prefer his techno stuff, but I think its a nice refinement of the downtempo sound he had on Chameleon |
Hawks
12.04.25 | That new Anthony Naples does indeed kick ass. Barely missed the list. |
jrlikestodance
12.04.25 | He dropped another one yesterday bro! |
Hawks
12.04.25 | OH SHIT. Yeah, gotta hear that asap. |
dachstheangry
12.04.25 | I'm surprised to see Amorphis in your top 10. The new album was a big letdown for me. |
Hawks
12.04.25 | I love it a lot lol. So much replay value. |
Ladron93
12.06.25 | Crippling Alcoholism's Camgirl, Daniel Avery's Tremor, Oneohtrix Point Never's Tranquilizer are my choices in your list, Hawks. My interest of black metal and death metal has faded a long time ago.
I really like Messa's The Spin, though.
I've never heard of Faetooth - Labyrinthine. I'll give it a listen since I'm doomgaze enthuse.
|
Hawks
12.06.25 | Hell yeah bro, you should dig it. |
arthropod
12.06.25 | I don't get A Single Flower over March of the Unheard and The Ossuary Lens but list is solid. We'll see what you think of Morthar in 2 days, shit has two 4.5's so far. |
Hawks
12.07.25 | I love A Single Flower more than most it seems and I'm okay with that lol. Yeah, hype to jam that one. |
insomniac15
12.07.25 | First time listening to the 36 and Zake record, really nice |
Hawks
12.07.25 | Its soooooo smooth and relaxing. Really been loving space ambient/progressive electronic lately. Make sure you jam the Michael Stearns album I reviewed recently. Not a 2025 album, but one of the best ambient albums of all-time for me. |
budgie
12.07.25 | wjuat tje fuck is space ambient |
Hawks
12.07.25 | Listen to the album and find out son. |
budgie
12.07.25 | wetf did u just called me |
Hawks
12.07.25 | Son. Because I am your father. |
insomniac15
12.07.25 | will listen, thanks |
Hawks
12.07.25 | Hell yeah bro, interested to hear your opinion on it. |
Hawks
12.17.25 | Switched 2 and 4 around. Had to 5 that new Veilburner hard. What a band. |
MTObsidian
12.17.25 | Great picks as always, my man. I've spun more than a few of these this year.
Why 52 gotta be a weird vagina tho |
Gyromania
12.17.25 | Whoa... I should rly check that Moving Mountains. I've only ever heard one track from them "Aphelion," I think that's the name? It's an awesome song though.
Fkn great list btw; we have tons of overlap this year. Loads of these I need to check out still. |
Hawks
12.17.25 | Thanks brothers!! Gyro, absolutely get on Moving Mountains. One of the best albums of the 2020s so far easily for me. |
hadriel
01.23.26 | Really like this list. You clearly have more varied tastes than me, but lots of great overlap in our lists too! A few albums here that I'll still need to go check out as well |
Veldin
01.23.26 | Hell yeah brother! Great list and we have a lot of cross over but in a pretty different order. Haven’t heard your 1 so I’ll check that out. I’m still finishing my Top 100 with a couple more album I’ve wanted to jam from 2025. Cheers! |
Hawks
01.23.26 | Thanks bros!!! Much appreciated. |
Donchivo
01.23.26 | Wow only 3 albums that are on both of our year end lists.. But a great list if i wanna recall which 2025 albums I missed to czech out. Keep it up, Hawks bro!
BTW where would Mike Tomlin stepping down rank on this list for you? |
Hawks
01.23.26 | Thanks bro! And oh, easily first lmao. |
