50 Ways To Hate An Album with Marv and Mez

Marv, Mez and Dan bring this episode home with more discussions on the music of Coldplay.   Will Marv and Mez admit to being fans or has this whole experience proved to be a waste?   Note: Marvs internet was notoriously buggy towards the end of the recording of this episode, so the change in audio quality was because of the recording not syncing back up with his microphone. Apologies to the audiophiles out there.

In the 4th instalment of the "Because It's series, Marv and Mez sit down with Coldplay lover Dan Canvin to break down and analyse the whole back catalogue of one of Britains biggest musical acts of the 21st century to really find out if there's any reason to HATE Coldplay. Expect long rambles about small details, alerts for the bathroom that go unnoticed and stories of broken guitars and bleeding fingers.

In between glitches and internet connectivity issues, the lads join forces yet again with the new 50 Ways Audiophile-ologist Oisin O Grady (I think we've coined a new term there) to talk about those 4 lads from Liverpool making the "Let it Be" album in a month.

In this episode, Mez unleashes his inner pirate while we delve into the discussion of what a fan does when their favourite band or artists release an album so different to the previous one, that it can question your allegiance to them.   Is it just a phase? Have they written their best stuff already? What happens if they change further?   Change isn't always a bad thing. Change is just change.   Marv's Movember link: https://movember.com/m/14608089?mc=1   "Surrender" by Elusis: https://open.spotify.com/track/4viUzVTwuUxKHWUYv0IYiu?si=5da24972ea1146f0

In this episode, Marv coughs and splutters his way through a very controversial opinion on the worlds greatest band, while Mez discusses thoughts on what it actually means to "sell out" and whether it can still be done today. Selling out. Staying relevant. Staying in the conversation. How much of a difference is there between the 3?

In this episode, Marv and Mez both battle through their Man-flus and discuss why only having one albums worth of material is hard to navigate for not only the artist, but for the fans too. Is it a case of not being able to better the album? Is it a case of capturing a moment in time through the medium of music? This and much more in episode 20.

In this episode, we delve into the whole back catalogue of one of the biggest artists right now, discussing why he was (and still is) hated across not just only the music community, but with the general public too.

In this episode, Merrett sings away to his hearts content and utilises his FX pedal to comedic gold, while we dig in to two albums where one half of the songwriting team is absent. Is it all about who's name is written across the cover? Are we too quick to point the blame to one person?

In this episode, Mez rates a vegan pasty in his new "Mez's Vegan Lunch" segment and we get into two artists that came from popular singing competition shows. Can you be successful and be critic darlings? Will these shows ever stop if the general public continue to audition? More importantly, can you forge a long lasting career that is respected and from where the artist has some form of control?

In this episode, Marv and Merrett flaunt their sample merch whilst dissecting one of the most hated bands in recent history. But why? What problems did we encounter? What did we find that they did well? How good of a guitarist is Wes Borland?

In this episode, Marv convinces Merrett to see his exhibition at the local museum, Merrett dreams about becoming a pro Air Soft riflemen and we get into some albums by artists who are not musicians by trade. Do you have to be a musician to make music? Is it acceptable to use the medium of music to further your own personal brand elsewhere? Can the albums these people make be respected by the musicians in the music industry?
