We've got a mega episode for you this week! We're finishing up the Misfits by attempting to talk about about their bizarre final album DEVIL'S RAIN--but mostly getting tired of it and moving on to MISFITS WRAP-UP! We're talkin' favorite songs from every era, ranking the records, and finally adding the Misfits to The Best Good Band List.Dive in!!
This week we're talking about the second and final album of the "Misfits" bizarre '90s era! We're listening to 'Famous Monsters' for the very first time and it's a trip. Grab Scarecrow Man and Pumpkin Head and let's dive in!
Welp, we've finally arrived. The moment decades in the making... We're listening to Graves Era Misfits! This week we're talking about the first album from the second incarnation of The Misfits, AMERICAN PSYCHO. Is it as bad as we expected? Is it worse? Are there gems? Was there any point in this endeavor?? Find out!
This week we're talking about all the non-LP tracks from the Danzig era of The Misfits! There's a ton of gems on the collection and compilation records and we're digging into all of them because we're sad to leave the Danzig years. Next week we continue our Misfits journey by stepping off into the great unknown: the Graves Era...
We're talking about the final Misfits album of the Danzig era! EARTH A.D. is a wild one that veers into hardcore territory and has some extra psycho lyrics. We're getting into all the guts and glory! Also we finally put Rage Against The Machine on the list cuz we forgot to do that...
This week we're talking about The Misfits proper debut full-length, WALK AMONG US. We had a blast revisiting this absolute classic and diving into the lunacy/genius of it. Mommy... can I go out and... POD TONIGHT???
We're back! And we're starting a new band... This week we're kicking off The Misfits' long and convoluted discography with STATIC AGE. This album was recorded in 1978, released in 1997, and rocks... to this day??
Wow we're already just about at the end of our time with Rage! This week we're talking about the band's final full-length, THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES. It's packed with mega bangers and some of their best material. Also a little catch up on Jake's vacation and talking about seeing movies for a full-time job...
We're back! This week we're talking about Rage Against The Machine's sophomore LP, EVIL EMPIRE. We're digging into all these rippers and also reading some fun listener mail. Let's go!
We're finally done with Weezer and moving on to a new band! And we picked a good one (and one with a quick catalog)--this week we're kicking off with Rage Against The Machine! We're talking about their 1992 self-titled album, which rocks extremely hard. DIVE IN.
We're finishing up our run on Rage Against The Machine by talking about what we learned, ranking the records and our favorite songs--and then inexplicably forgetting to put them on the Best Good Band List... Oops. Maybe we'll do that next week. Stick around til the end of the episode to find out what band we're talking about next too!
We made it!! We're finally wrapping up Weezer after FIVE MONTHS. We're ranking their records, running down our top ten favorite songs (and top ten favorite post-Maladroit songs), and trying to figure out what we learned from this whole mess! Do they make the Best Good Band List??? Find out!
Well folks we've finally reached the most recent Weezer release! We're talking about the absolutely bananas SZNZ: SUMMER EP and then reading some great listener mail that saves us from going insane. Next week: WEEZER WRAP-UP.
There's a light at the end of the Weezer tunnel and we're heading for it! This week we're talking about the first EP in the band's current SZNZ project. It's springtime and we're gonna find out if we're allergic to these seven songs or not!
We've reached a milestone in our Weezer journey this week: we're at the band's most recent full-length album (for now)! Just some very long EPs left... But this week we're taking the time machine waaaaaaaay back to last year and diving into VAN WEEZER. Does this record fulfill the promise of its title??
This week we're talking about an album that just came out last year!! It's Weezer's fourteenth record, OK HUMAN. But is it an OK ALBUM??? Let's find out!
WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT WEEZER ALBUMS. This week we're digging into THE BLACK ALBUM and trying to figure out how we're supposed to make sense of this band at all at this point. According to Rivers this record is notable because he attempted to swear more. So that's definitely something!
Our (seemingly endless) journey into Weezer continues this week with a particularly strange detour: THE TEAL ALBUM. A collection of random covers that were all chosen via a computer program that Rivers made? What could go wrong...
Happy Pac Day! We're talking about Weezer's eleventh album, the extremely sticky PACIFIC DAYDREAM. This is the band's biggest pop swing yet, does it work?
We're back!! After a short hiatus we've returned to do our sacred duty and talk about every band ever and we are still knee deep in the Weezer catalog! This week we're talking about their 2016 release, THE WHITE ALBUM. Is this another late era high point or more of a mixed bag? Does one of us inexplicably like "Jacked Up"??? Dive in and find out!
