Will, David and Jeremiah count down David and Jeremiah's favorite albums of 2025.

Don and Dude return to close out the year with the Favorite Albums of 2025 episode, spotlighting two records that prove front-to-back albums still matter in the age of algorithm playlists. The conversation leans into storytelling, production choices, and why these releases rose above a crowded field of new music.The albums:Sam Fender – People Watching (2025) A cinematic heartland rock statement from the North Shields songwriter, filled with big choruses, sax-laced arrangements, and character-driven songs about working-class life, mental health, and the tension between staying rooted and needing to escape. The record traces everyday scenes in pubs and streets, turning quiet moments of anxiety, friendship, and grief into festival-sized anthems that still feel grounded and human.Carter Faith – Cherry Valley (2025) A warm, analog-leaning country debut that builds a whole emotional world around the idea of “Cherry Valley,” a dreamlike place between memory and reality where love, ambition, heartbreak, and self-discovery collide. Mixing classic country storytelling, 1960s pop shimmer, honky-tonk attitude, and cinematic strings, Faith moves from nostalgic longing to barbed humor to hard-won hope over the course of the album.Other Favorites:Curtis Harding – Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt (2025) A semi-concept soul journey where Harding's “Captain Curt” persona drifts through emotional, physical, and spiritual landscapes, blending classic soul, funk, psychedelic rock, and cinematic pop. Built around analog warmth, live-band grooves, and vintage synths, the record turns movement and transition into a cohesive meditation on resilience and connection.Mammoth WVH – The End (2025) Wolfgang Van Halen's third Mammoth album, recorded with a more live, organic approach, pairs hard rock heft with melodic hooks and reflective lyrics about identity, anxiety, and finding hope in a “doomsday” age. Clocking in at a tight 39 minutes, it sharpens the project's post-grunge and modern rock blend into something lean, emotional, and arena-ready.Lucy Dacus – Forever is a Feeling (2025) An intimate indie rock concept album circling queer romance, long-term commitment, and the fear that something beautiful cannot last yet somehow still feels like forever. With lush arrangements, strings, keys, and subtle electronics wrapped around Dacus's steady voice and detailed storytelling, it expands her sound while keeping the focus on devotion, doubt, and time.Sparks – Mad! (2025) A late-career art-pop jolt from the Mael brothers that leans into their most playful, surreal instincts, full of rapid-fire lyrics, character sketches, and flamboyant synth-pop turns. Equal parts witty, theatrical, and precise, the album showcases Sparks' enduring knack for arch humor and tightly constructed, eccentric pop songs.Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing.“Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account” - Oscar WildeHappy New Year!

Send us a textCurtis and Aaron Vaughn came up with the idea for this podcast. The concept for this podcast is to give information and opinions about ten songs each month that may fly under the radar for most listeners of music. Also, we will play a snippet of each song and ask the listener to comment to us through one of our social media outlets so we can get different opinions on what you think about these songs and what they mean to you. The opinions of the music selected are only the opinions of Aaron and Curtis and may not reflect what the artist had in mind. They believe that is the beauty of music. It can mean so many different things to so many different people.  In short, Curtis came up with this quote to describe the show: “Sharing the joy of music in hopes of bringing back old memories or helping listeners discover unfamiliar artists, bands, or songs that they might want to look further into. At the same time, helping out Veterans and their families with donations along the way."Songs for this month are:1. Hitch a Ride - Boston2. Prince of Darkness - Indigo Girls3. Sun and Steel - Iron Maiden4. Bring It On Home - Led Zeppelin5. Swamp Music - Lynyrd Skynyrd6. Disposable Heroes - Metallica7.  Garden - Pearl Jam8. Entre Nous - Rush9. No One Knows - Screaming Trees10. Circle of Hands - Uriah HeepSupport the show
