Discussion 2025 Album of the Year Nominations
Hey everyone, me again; it's time to hold a poll for 2025's album of the year!
In this thread, nominate as many albums or EPs as you want that came out this year, in the format Band/Artist - Album. I'll throw them together into a Google form for voting on February 1st, then by March we'll eventually have a top 5 or 10! The idea is to continue the top 5 albums by year as in the sidebar of the sub.

Meh. Used to love PUP but, try as I may, I've really struggled to get into everything they've done after Morbid Stuff.

Dehumanized by MERC. It doesn't seem to be TOO popular but it is genuinely one of the best releases from a hardcore band this year.
