Albums the Fediverse Loved in 2025

And here we have it: a list of 151 albums (plus a few artists/labels in general) that kept 64 of us going in 2025, complete with tasting notes plus other tidbits in footnotes! Some stats:

- Nearly 75% of the albums are 2025 releases, with the rest stretching back to 1971.
- About 50% are from the US or Britain, meaning 50% are, well, not.
- A number of genres are represented, including ambient, classical, country, electronic, experimental, folk, hip-hop, J-pop, jazz, metal, noise, pop, punk, R&B, rock, et al.
- We didn't rank/vote since the Fediverse's musical tastes are far too diverse to do so meaningfully, BUT we had 8 albums submitted by multiple people, with *spoiler alert* Messa's 'The Spin' being our runaway top pick with 5 submissions!

Below are the usual links but, for those who want to see the footnotes, I highly recommend reading this on the actual blog so you can toggle back and forth between the album title line and the footnote itself without scrolling endlessly.

Many thanks to all who participated, and to those checking out the list. I hope you all enjoy - perhaps you’ll find a new-to-you Fedi-recommended album that gets you through 2026!
