“This review of the madchester scene seems to miss the mark a bit. I know that this is a 90s rock podcast, so either these guys are unaware, uninterested, or just aren’t covering other types of music (black music in particular) . I know they brought a guest on here. Being very enthusiastic about these bands at the time these records were being released, I’d describe the madchester sound as a mix of 60s psychedelic music and contemporary black music. The Byrds, Love and Hendrix meets Chicago and Detroit House and Public Enemy/ Eric B and Rakim era hip hop. The Happy Mondays were less specific but utilized a huge early techno influence. The marriage of guitar and dance elements, sampled beats mixed with jangly guitars. Stone Roses are like a druggy, more black influenced Smiths because the songs are well crafted and pretty. As for New Order, they were pioneers of this type of dance/rock mixture. If anything, it’s closest American analog would be Grunge. It was a sound, a look, and an attitude. Not all madchester bands were from Manchester, just like all the grunge bands weren’t from Seattle. Nobody wore baggy clothes until these guys did. Even Chuck D had tight jeans on at this point.”

“Just discovered this podcast and it is clearly right in my wheelhouse. As a Gen X dude and musician...they touch on a ton of the albums that shaped my world back in the 90s. The reviewers who have given negative reviews...clearly do not get it. Keep up the great work!!”

“This is a pretty cool set up with 2 dudes reviewing 90’s albums that have been requested.
Poignant point of view podcast in a time where albums don’t seem to matter that much anymore in the music biz.
It is sure nice to sit back and reminisce with these guys.
Just listened to Hoodoo Gurus -...”Read full review »

“Two guys, both clueless about music, review records they’ve barely even listened to. If I were to have an hour long podcast concerning an album, I’d probably listen to the actual record before trying to opine on it.”
