Welcome to a very special episode of Disc Picks! As we wrap up season 1, we're putting our albums through a final challenge to determine our best and most favorite album of 2025. This week, we're doing the left side of our bracket, which can be found here: https://brackethq.com/b/i0q0c/. But, beware, if you look now there will be spoilers as we are a few weeks ahead in recording. This week's match-up shoes in Nirvana and Pearl Jam as a bye, Linkin Park faces off against Weird Al. Rancid goes head-to-head against Cage the Elephant, a battle which will pain TJ as he will have to put down one of his picks. From there, we have a battle in the indie arena as the Black Keys take on The Killers, followed by CCR and Fall Out Boy. Next we have The Strokes up against Childish Gambino, and to wrap it all up this week, we have Two Door Cinema Club versus Dirty Honey. Tune in to see who moves on, and mourn those we lost on this week's episode of Disc Picks.

The episode nobody asked for but that everyone wanted. Join us this week for our first panel discussion with Gaby, friend of John, Neil, and TJ. Everyone's favorite returning guest, Breanne, and Joe's wife Erin! That's right folks were two shy of a baseball team on this weeks episode of Disc Picks.

The year was 1998. Saving Private Ryan, Armageddon, and The Truman Show were in theaters, which meant America was crying, panicking about asteroids, and questioning reality all in the same summer. Britney Spears had just hit us one more time, TRL was basically a religion, and every kid with frosted tips was trying to land a kickflip in their JNCOs before the dial-up disconnected. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time dropped and ruined every game that came after it, South Park was teaching us brand new swear words, and Nu-Metal was kicking down the door with spiked collars and DJ scratches.

In the middle of all that glorious chaos, Zebrahead rolled in with Waste of Mind and said, "Hey, what if we mashed skate punk, rap vocals, SoCal energy, and suburban boredom into one big blender and cranked it to eleven?" And, it worked. This was the soundtrack for every kid who felt too punk for the mall and too mall-rat for actual danger. It was messy, clever, fast, loud, and sometimes deeply stupid in the best possible way. So join us this week as the boys deep dive into Joe's Pick: Zebrahead's Waste of Mind. (Wallet chains optional but highly encouraged.)

Join us this week on Disc Picks as we discuss Kings of Leon's: Because of the Times. John was up in the rotation this week and chose the 3rd studio album by the band. Quite a polarizing episode for a few of us on the podcast, but hey, what fun would it be if we all enjoyed the record? Be sure to listen in for all the hot takes and as always, send tunes.
