“Who are these guys? Is this supposed to be a comedy show/music review? Because they fail spectacularly at both.
Change the title of your podcast, lads. Let the people know you’re gonna TRY to make jokes and do wacky commentary about albums that you fail to put into their proper context and have...”Read full review »

“After not working in Apple Podcasts for ages it now does!
Some good analysis and related chat for some classic and non classic albums. Just the right length and good interplay between the hosts.”

“The fact that these one star reviews are upset because either, they don’t agree with their analysis’, or “they’re obnoxious“. If you read the description, it says FRIENDS discussing these albums, not musical professors setting out to piss off older men that think that Blonde on Blonde was the...”Read full review »

When I get...”Read full review »

“Always love hearing music lovers discuss music but there are a couple of problems with this podcast. One is the lack of research and deeper analysis of the albums/artists, instead settling with “this song sucks/is amazing”. Another is the lack of diversity in music tastes/experiences among the...”Read full review »
