This week is bitter-sweet. On one hand, we're ranking the best albums to come out in 2025. On the other, it is Alex's final episode on the show. So to send him off, he's also running down his top 10 favorite albums of all-time. Thanks for all the episodes, Alex, best of luck with whatever you move on to next. The show will continue in 2026 with Mike doing solo episodes, as well as periodically having on regulars Tom and Robert. Thank you to everyone who's stuck with us all these years.
