10 Albums to Hear Before Making Your 'Best of 2025' List + Geese Live Review

On this special Thanksgiving week episode of BV Weekly, Dave and Andrew offer up a list of 10 albums you should make sure you've heard before making your 'Best Albums of 2025' lists. It's not necessarily a list of "overlooked" albums, nor is it our top 10. It's just 10 great albums from this year that we think deserve another push as everyone's figuring out what makes their lists. Also, Dave caught the end of the tour by a band who's sure to be near the top of most major year-end lists: Geese! Email bvweekly@gmail.com with any feedback or questions!
