I Love What is Music. We all know that Lucas is the one whose opinion counts the most, right?

Another REM podcast
wheresthefix via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/24
Prefacing this with the fact I love R.E.M.; but this is too granular for a hardcore fan. There’s a weird, patronising dynamic between the main host and the other 2 dudes. Being more laconic would make this a less boring listen. You dismissed R U Talkin REM to me as a “comedy” podcast but they...Read full review »

because I never heard Reckoning in 1984. In fact, I only had a vague inclination that REM even existed before Losing My Religion. 1984 was right around the time I was really getting into music too. Anyways, the upside is that I am now hearing the absolute gems Seven Chinese Brothers, So Central...Read full review »

A fun hang with likable hosts, but who are unapologetically stuck in their nostalgia for alternative rock bands that haven’t been relevant in decades. Great news for superfans who want to spend years exhausting over every REM album, but if you enjoy a more diverse spectrum of music, or feel that...Read full review »

I really don’t laugh at stuff in any form of media. No clue why. So I was shocked to listen to this podcast and find myself on the verge of tears from the beyond witty banter. You guys are hysterical. I love it. Please do these podcasts forever.

insightful, but audio is kinda weird

What is music? A good podcast.

Wry good podcast. They have such great chemistry and I love their unique humour
Ellisjf via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/20/23
Honestly can everyone please just listen to this so I can stop spamming band subreddits with recommendations. Quite honestly the high point of my week.

Incredible detail and context for some of the best music. The banter and personalities do not get old. Love it

Imagine writing a podcast…This is such a good podcast. Brilliantly researched, lovingly curated analysis from people who aren’t afraid of emotion or intellect. Fabulous work, keep em coming

I had initially seen the What is Music podcast twitter account recommended in my feed and decided to check it out since they were covering Radiohead. I was instantly sucked in. So much great history and context covered, but nothing is taken too seriously. Makes complex music ideas more...Read full review »

He who shall remain nameless via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/23
Wow this is a great way to explore an artists work in depth. Really good chemistry between the hosts and great to get an outsiders view to an artist alongside a die hard fan e.g. with MANICS Adam has a lot of his own personal insights to bring being well versed in their music but also good to...Read full review »

Very engaging hosts with great chemistry, combined with in-depth discussions about all elements of an artists music.
eth464 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/07/22
Listen to this podcast, it's ace. Season one made 2020 lockdown the best thing ever. I still feel nostalgia for Steve talking about feeling nostalgia in The Holy Bible episode. Let's make it clear: Steve is 'not just there', he absolutely NEEDS to be there to make the whole...Read full review »
Neighbour of the belst via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/19/22
If this podcast was just presented by Adam it’d be a clear 5 stars. Sadly he’s accompanied by Steve, who to be honest is just there, and Lucas who may be the worst co-host of anything ever. Lucas’ presence can be seen as some sort of ironic counterpoint to the thoughtful and knowledgeable...Read full review »

Mince13 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/04/22
It’s been a lot of fun to follow these guys through Manic Street Preachers to Muse to Billie Eilish and get different perspectives on each artist. I really appreciate them inserting their individual personalities and experiences into each episode. I listen to a lot of music podcasts and it is...Read full review »

I found this podcast a few weeks ago after reading about it on the Muse subreddit. I’m currently in the middle of a “Muse resurgence” after not listening for about a decade, and I’m loving the analysis, the banter, and the personal anecdotes related to the music. I was particularly touched by...Read full review »

These guys are so great. Great analysis on the music and delivered with great banter.
SDS 129 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/21
Each season these three British lads pick a band and proceed to explore that band's discography, history and socio-political context (especially if John Major is involved). Along the way, as they jump from album to album, the lads squabble, make banter and mispronounce basic words, the lads...Read full review »

Started listening from season 2 and have so far enjoyed this a lot. Helps me get through to work day at home. The guys have done their research; the discussion on the band has a good mix of opinions and banter.

It’s fine

Came for Muse, stayed for the bits
Blovell91 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/17/21
These podcasts have helped me so much through pandemics and other things. I was happier when they talked about the Manics, but they still entertain me when they talk about M*se. Love.
Rubber soul77 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/16/21
I found this podcast on the Muse subreddit. I was expecting to learn new things about one of my favorite bands but I’ve also been laughing hysterically at these three guys. It’s like being in a room with friends (remember those days?), chatting and joking around. I may just have to listen to...Read full review »
pencraft via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/21
I started listening to these guys as a fan of the Manics... but wondered if I would still enjoy when they started covering other bands - I needn’t have worried! Insightful, interesting and most of all - loads of laughs and fun!

Thoroughly entertaining and insightful ramblings of three great mates who love their music
JadedGeneration via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/08/20
This podcast could not possibly be better. I’m giving it the full 6/10. (P.s. thanks so much #bigmates, for rekindling my love for this great band).
Superstar105 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/08/20
Honestly it's probably my favourite podcast I've ever listened to, has really helped me so much during this diffcult year. It's always a joy to hear Adam, Steve and Lucas go on about the Manics, and various nonsense. I particualrly relate to Steve's emeoitoal and nostolgic veiws...Read full review »

I’ve gone back through my archives along with the podcast and fallen in love with the Manics all over again. The Greg Haver Lifeblood episode in particular was brilliant and endeared me to the hosts even more.
aymz21 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/18/20
A complete joy that has helped me greatly in recent times. The hosts are relatable, honest and hilarious. The episodes are interesting and varied. 6/10
ozzyge via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/17/20
Really good. Wasn’t sure on the concept on first listen....but now find myself actively looking forward to the new episodes coming out on Mondays. The right balance of in depth Manics based chat allied with off piste banter. Funny without being derivative or smug. Great to hear occasional...Read full review »

Frequently funny and interesting in equal measure. If you love 'Manic Street Preachers' you'll love this 'Manic Street Podcast'. Like listening to music with good mates. Do You Love Us? Well I do!Read full review »
Emmington Spray via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/28/20
Decided to check this out as at first I thought this was going to be an “in depth” podcast, album by album, in a geek fest fanboy kind of way. Turns out that’s bang wrong — it’s got more much more a blokes down the pub vibe, where one manics fan tries to convince/convert two others as to why...Read full review »
