I look forward to Mondays to catch up with the complainers and get their takes on the chosen album.
While I don’t always agree with their assessments, each episode is thoroughly researched and full of fun and snark.
I’m an avid listener. Even if I don’t agree sometimes, I can see their point. I used to think they were biased against mainstream music, but since the Meat Loaf episode I’ve changed my mind! Love these guys!
Americans I can actually listen to without wanting to commit bodily harm. Do they get every fact, nuance, and hipster viewpoint right? Nope, but it doesn’t matter at jot. A playful and light hearted hour and more a week, often with new-to-me music that I will never, ever listen to again. But it’s all good!
Love these guys! Very knowledgable musicians who make a great show! Check it out!
The hosts are way too pleased with their mostly lame attempts at humor and the regular laughing and snickering throughout is really cringe and distracting.
