“I agree with the other reviewer here who said this show kinda takes them back to the pre-ABGT era of TATW. It's hard to place it exactly, but something fundamentally changed when they killed the show that GOT me into dance music in the first place, and replaced it with the peace/love/unity/we-all-are-one infused hugfest podcast. Group Therapy to me just feels like the podcast version of the "hugs not drugs" trope. No doubt, there are still some amazing ABGT episodes which have really stayed with me, but they can be so hit or miss. I think I only like the shows Jono hosts. Anyway, I'll always be a fan of these guys, and call me a cynic, whatever, but music becomes fundamentally.. dilapidated, ruined.. when it adopts and attempts to instill a "message." Let it be dark and haunting, euphoric and uplifting, just don't give it a pretense. If any of the foregoing resonates with you, I do advise you scope this one out. Let's call it a breath of..not fresh...but a refreshingly darker type of air. Scope it.”
