It’s the end of 2025 and that means it’s time to put together the list of our top albums of the year! Some of the records on John and Derek’s list are expected and some aren’t, but those two yahoos don’t seem to play by any rules anyway so no surprise there! The Shit Talk Reviews family wish you and yours a happy, healthy holiday season and a glorious new year in 2026!
