MIDYEAR TOP 15: my favorite albums of 2025 (so far)

Damn, half of the year is already over again! So here's a very quickly in the moment decided selection of my favorite fifteen albums of 2025 so far. No long write-ups, no distinction between live and studio releases. Just great music!

This is so impossible... more than one release I considered a TOP 5 candidate before is already missing here. But maybe those will return in six months, who knows?
