It’s time again, time for looking back at the year in music and trying to distill it into a list of the best albums that 2017 had to offer.

This was an incredible year for music. There were so many wonderful new albums that I could hardly keep up. I kept a list of albums released that I enjoyed, and that list ended up being 76 albums long. And those are just the ones I felt were noteworthy. As I’ve been reading various publications’ year-end lists, I’ve been struck by how many albums I hadn’t even listened to yet. I might never catch up on 2017. But that’s okay, because I’ve got plenty of music to keep me busy.

Without further ado, here are my top 25 albums of 2017:

25. Partner, “In Search of Lost Time”

24. Alvvays, “Antisocialites”

23. Gordi, “Reservoir”

22. Diet Cig, “Swear I’m Good at This”
