Comedian Don Jamieson’s Top Albums of 2025
(Editor’s note: Looking back on 2025, there were so many good albums released that we decided to reach out to some of today’s artists and get them to weigh in on their favorites. What follows is comedian Don Jamieson, who you may know as one of the three dudes from ‘That Metal Show’, and his Top Albums of 2025.)
They (who’s they?) say your musical tastes get more mellow as you get older. Not true. Mine have gotten heavier and girthier as I’ve gotten older as evidenced by my list. As always, best to listen to these records (and all records) on vinyl. It makes the music is more potent than one of Lemmy’s Jack & Cokes and the grooves are warmer than Kirk Windstein’s beard.
In no particular order:
Bask — The Turning
I can’t compare this band to any other and that is a very good thing. It’s layered, yet stark. Proggy, yet raw. You can drive 55 while listening to it but it also can pump up your workout like an injection of musical steroids. A unique musical journey created in the mountains of Appalachia. Hence one of the band members being named Jed.
Bear Mace — Slaves Of The Wolf
The minute I saw a band with the name Bear Mace, I knew I had to listen to them. So potent and heavy, I would actually use it to try and repel a charging Grizzly.
Cancer — Inverted World
Been a fan of this band for quite a while and absolutely the only form of cancer I’m happy to be infected with. In fact, I wish this Cancer on anyone who loves British Death Thrash.
Dizzy Reed — Rock ’N’ Roll Chose Me
Guns ’N’ Roses’ long-time keyboardist puts his Jager-filled soul into creatng this cool, thoughtful hard rock record. Much like his last solo album, if recorded by his “day job” band would also make a great GnR record.
The Munsens — Degradation In The Hyperreal
No not ’The Munsters’, not The Mansons nor any relation to Thurman Munson. Just two brothers (not named Munsen) and their drummer laying down sludgy death-doom brutality. Extra points for moving to New Jersey this year.
