We're happy to present "Post-Trash's Staff Picks: The Best of 2025" as voted by the site’s wonderful contributors (including their individual lists). With 15 of our writers submitting their votes, we had 234 different records nominated and only the top record received a collected score of sixty or higher.
We present our “Mid-Year Report," a comprehensive guide to our favorite releases of the first half of this year, without any pre-determined length or insignificant rankings. If we’re into it, we're including it (unless we plumb forgot it or just haven’t spent enough time with it… which happens, in which case our sincerest of apologies).
