  • Respect for bringing in a Canadian rivethead as your industrial ringer. Always a fun hang. Pieces and grease.

  • listened to a few then bailed

    If there is a podcast that can make music boring then this is it!! Talk about LOW energy!! One of the guys sounds like he is talking in his sleep!! Of the few that I have listened too they start off with this totally unnecessary voting bracket with LOTS of votes and tallies and percentages that mean absolutely NOTHING to me as a listener!! This is really an example of how NOT to make a music review podcast!! They are really just SO low key/ low energy that this a genuinely a boring podcast. Lis... more

    Found this and wanted to listen to them discuss Mellow Gold but bounced when it was obvious one of the hosts was going to eat a meal through the entire podcast. Super gross.

  • The Peregian Falcon approves

    Easily my favourite podcast, I haven’t missed and episode in 15 years, this pod has introduced me to so much music that I missed. My favourite part is when they review an album or artist that I actually don’t like and their passion makes me want to give it another chance. If you love music, you’ll love this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lost Highway Soundtrack | 90s Album Review
Q: What doesn't work for you on this soundtrack?
Jason says Barry Adamson's tracks pull him out of the mood and the Rammstein guitars feel abrupt; Tim prefers separating score pieces from vocal songs. Ian considers the album interconnected and largely successful.
Lost Highway Soundtrack | 90s Album Review
Q: What works for you on the Lost Highway soundtrack?
The hosts and Ian praise its varied mix of artists, its sequencing, and the way its music supports the film's unsettling, shifting atmosphere.
Cut City - Exit Decades | 00s Album Review
Q: What works for you on Exit Decades by Cut City?
The interplay between tight, rhythmic bass and the sparse, purposeful guitar work stood out, along with the way the band uses space and dynamics to keep every track engaging, despite the short runtime. The vocals contribute as another instrument rather than the focal hook, which helps the album feel cohesive and driven by texture as much as melody.
Purusam – Daybreak Chronicle | 90s Album Review
Q: Keith, what works best for you on Daybreak Chronicles compared to other hardcore albums?
Keith highlights the cohesive blend of metal influences, the dynamic guitar work, and the human, on-the-edge performances as what makes the album stand out against other hardcore releases of the era.
Creed And Butt Rock | 90s Album Review and Genre Discussion
Q: What doesn't work for you on this record or in the overall sense of butt rock?
It's Scott Stapp's overly dramatic and narcissistic lyrics that present themselves as deep, yet lack genuine introspection.
