Davis dishes out a hot take on the film and we discuss the four new Beatles songs that made the record. We also dive into George Martin's orchestral score that takes up side 2 of the record!Enjoy!
In this episode we discuss the 2nd disc of the iconic White Album! We butt heads over whether Why Don't We Do It In The Road or Everybody's Got Something To Hide is the better song, we agree that Savoy Truffle is vastly underrated and whether or not Revolution 9 should have been included at all!
The 1st part in our 2 part episode on the iconic White Album (by The Beatles not Weezer) we discuss why the White Album might be underrated these days given the amount of people who don't understand its greatness and go track by track from 'Back In The USSR' through 'Julia'.
In this episode we discuss the wild 1st experimental album from John & Yoko, which was an immediately controversial release from the front cover alone (which we have obviously censored here!)We dive into Yoko and our thoughts on her as an artist and why she is slightly underrated, as well as the album's bonus track 'Remember Love'.
We're back!In our 10th episode we discuss the album Wonderwall Music from George Harrison, the very first solo Beatles album. This one is a bit more loose than usual due to the nature of discussing an album like this, but we hope you enjoy it regardless!
In this episode we discuss the trippy and psychedelic Magical Mystery Tour from 1967! We discuss whether or not we think it should be counted as an album, why its accompanying film goes underrated and of course, dive into every single track and give our thoughts and feelings on all of them!
In this episode we discuss another album often cited as the greatest album of all time, Sgt Pepper. In our longest episode so far we dive into this beautiful psychedelic wonder and have a lot of fun whilst doing it (including a fun little intro Henry thought of)Enjoy!
In this episode we discuss an album often cited as the greatest of all time (The Beatles have a few of those but this is the first!) 1966's groundbreaking and revolutionary Revolver.Apologies for the slightly muddy audio quality on it, particularly disappointing seeing as this is such an important album in their discography and because we were very happy with this episode. If you listen on headphones you should be able to hear it fine!Also, Davis has an extremely hot take about this album and I will never forgive him for it
In this episode we dive into The Beatles' 6th UK studio album, Rubber Soul!The 'two of us' have very different opinions on this album so this episode is particularly contentious compared to our previous ones.We debate whether or not this was actually the album that transitioned the band from the Beatlemania period or whether it had already happened on previous albums. We also argue over whether certain songs on the album are underrated or overrated (although we all know no music can be overrated).
Today we dive into The Beatles 5th UK studio album Help! from 1965 and the movie of the same name.We butt heads over whether 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy' is a good song or not, discuss why 'Yesterday' is one of the greatest songs ever written and why George and John both have hidden gems on this album that go greatly underappreciated.
Episode 4! And we are starting to actually get more professional on this one! In this episode we discuss the 1964 album 'Beatles For Sale', a clear outsider compared to the rest of the band's discography, so a very interesting album to listen to and discuss. Enjoy!
In our third episode we discuss both The Beatles' album 'A Hard Day's Night' as well as the film of the same name. We discuss our thoughts on each song and why it is considered the peak of Beatlemania and score the album out of 10 at the end of the episode!
In our second episode we are discussing the Beatles 2nd UK studio album, 'With The Beatles' from 1963! We provide our thoughts on each song individually and each score the album out of 10 at the end!
In our very first episode we are, of course, starting from the beginning by discussing The Beatles' debut album 'Please Please Me' from 1963. This episode is slightly more loose and chaotic than later episodes merely due to it being our first episode, so apologies for that. Enjoy!
