Great podcast to listen to as you play along
There’s a website (https://1001albumsgenerator.com) where you get assigned a random record from “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die” every day and can leave a review of it and I have been doing that and really enjoying it, and this podcast really complements that activity. When I get assigned a record, I listen to it and jot down my thoughts and then search “1001” and the album title and listen to what these yahoos think about it. I disagree with a lot of their opinions but they are fairly well thought out and rarely ever knee-jerk and dismissive. They mostly try to honestly engage with the music and make an effort to appreciate it (except for the loud drunk guy) even if it’s not really their thing. I have to echo every other reviewer in saying that hearing the guy that reads the album descriptions at the beginning takes me back to English class where you were dreading when it’s the illiterate kid’s turn to read because you experience secondhand embarrassment from hearing him struggle through his assigned paragraph. But those quibbles aside, this is a very good podcast and if you like listening to people talk about music then you might really enjoy it.

These people make me laugh. I pick and choose which episodes to listen to based on my musical taste. I often learn new tidbits, which is cool. I can’t wait for them to talk about Sting/Police REM and Sade.

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 »
