They had two for the road before saying thank you and goodnight again, and that's when we realised - it's not all Said And Done for us because we haven't ever been track by track through a Boyzone album. They were one of the biggest boybands of the 9... more

Podcast Track by Track was painfully overrated. For a show supposedly about music, the hosts showed remarkably little real insight, repeatedly missing the point and barely acknowledging the producers behind the records, who often contributed more than the people they chose to focus on. The forced, scripted ‘humour’ only made it worse. It felt smug, shallow, and amateurish all at once. Honestly, if this is what passed for music criticism, it’s no wonder the show got canned. Keep practicing.
2 uneducated unfunny queens do a podcast. Again!
P.S ‘Queer’ is a homophobic slur that hasn’t been universally reclaimed.
Such a great podcast celebrating so many albums with some likeminded hosts!
I found you through my hunt for Pet Shop Boys podcasts and I have loved every minute of it! I started loving PSB when I was 5 years old (thanks to my older sisters) and have loved them ever since. Behavior is and will always be my favorite album. Your show has opened my ears to many other outstanding artists and albums and I will be forever grateful to you. Many hugs and wishes for whatever your future brings. All my love from Indiana, USA. #thingswilburlikes
But I REALLY dislike the use of the word “queer”. To me that sums up being beaten up by thugs when I was 17. That word will always have very negative connotations to me. Shame because the premise of the show is good
