The 2025 Boa tour has already arrived for a while and there are those who take advantage of it to make a first final balance of the year. In recent days we have proposed the rankings of the best albums of 2025 to date by Pitchfork and Mojo, today instead we show you that of the Online Stereogum magazine, which in the introduction writes: “2025, in general, has not exactly started in the best way. Yet, we at Stereogum once again passed the first and second quarter to chase all the new music out. So that you do not have to do it if you follow our album of the Week column, you already know some of the releases that have thrilled us more in 2025. But this half -year ranking also allows us to give space to more unpredictable choices, which will probably end up being cut when we publish our Year in the December review “.
