The Skinny's 2025 End of the Year Spectacular(?)

2025 has come to a close, and unfortunately, the album output this year has been…questionable, to put it nicely. With that being said, we are foregoing our traditional 3-episode end-of-the-year spectacular in favor of one final episode to close out the year. We countdown our least favorite albums, the okay albums, and the ones that were slightly better than okay!#ArmsLength #Avantasia #Babymetal #ConanGray #Creeper #TheDevilWearsPrada #HauntedMouths #Hundredth #LaDispute #LIGHTS MaggieLindemann #SleepToken #SlowlySlowly #Starset _______________________________________Consider supporting the show by donating and tipping on our Ko-Fi page:https://ko-fi.com/theskinnywithmikeandadamFind us on social media:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/2jv87Wypvw⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/theskinnypodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠mail to:[email protected]⁠⁠⁠

On the road to 500, we've invited a very special guest; someone who's been such a big part of this podcast for many years with his comments, letters, feedback, interactions, and suggestions, friend of the show - and joining us from The Dorkiest Podcast - Daniel, is back to share his TOP 100 ALBUMS!We hope you enjoy having another massive list of albums to check out for yourselves from someone other than Mike or Adam! Daniel's lived experience differs quite a bit from the co-hosts, so hearing all of his stories of why these 100 albums are special to him was a treat and we hope you get just as much out of it too!After you listen to the episode, check out the full list of albums that were discussed to go back and put them on your own playlistshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1cMmLFS2S3gwZ46lMpmySaCMphW8E1cqo_nffEQRG__c/edit?usp=sharing#Alesana #ALotLikeBirds #AsCitiesBurn #AttackAttack! #Beartooth #BeingAsAnOcean #BrandNew #DanCampbell #DanceGavinDance #TheDearHunter #Jaime’sElsewhere #JulienBaker #Letlive. #Mewithoutyou #Mewithoutyou #Mewithoutyou #OfMice&Men #Saosin #Underoath #TheWonderYears _______________________________________Consider supporting the show by donating and tipping on our Ko-Fi page:⁠https://ko-fi.com/theskinnywithmikeandadam⁠Find us on social media:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/2jv87Wypvw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/theskinnypodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mail to:⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
