It's our 50th episode! We're not doing anything particularly special to celebrate, just continuing our Bright Eyes series with Fevers and Mirrors, the last album before the band found its way to the mainstream. We break down the recurring imagery, the infamous, surreal fake interview, and dip into the EPs and bonus tracks from this remarkably prolific era of Conor Oberst's career.

Our Bright Eyes series continues with the first canonical Bright Eyes album (or is it?). We explore Conor's growth as a songwriter on Letting Off the Happiness, the contributions of producer Mike Mogis, and a slew of B-sides and EPs from this era.

It's fall, which means it's time to break out the acoustic guitar and get emotional with us as we go through the Bright Eyes discography. In this episode, we recount our personal histories with the midwestern emo/folk legends, touch on Conor Oberst's pre-Bright Eyes work, and break down the group's somewhat haphazard first album, A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997.

It's time for a palate cleanser between series, so we're talking about one of the biggest one-album wonders of the pop punk scene: Box Car Racer. We get into the dynamics in Blink-182 and Tom Delonge's life that led to this side project, how 9/11 and existential angst informed the songs, and how the album holds up over two decades later.

Our series on The Armed comes to a close with their latest album, The Future Is Here and Everything Needs To Be Destroyed. We break down the band's return to their aggressive roots and what the album has to say about existing in our present moment. And as always, we rank the discography.

On Perfect Saviors, The Armed shed the aliases and antics in order to "be a reliable narrator." The result is their most expansive, accessible album yet, but it still has plenty of surprises. We get into every turn, from acoustic guitars to jazz fusion to the secret EP hidden inside the vinyl packaging.

This week we refract into ULTRAPOP, arguably The Armed's magnum opus and inarguably another compelling turn in their discography. We cover the songs, the fascinating and absurd marketing campaign, and the culmination of the ULTRAPOP era in Live At the Masonic.

Rise Against is back with their 10th album, Ricochet, so we're checking in on the Chicago punk stalwarts. We go deep on the band's approach to these songs with producer Catherine Marks, the discourse around the album's politics, and decide where it slots into our discography rankings.

Our series on The Armed continues with a discussion of their third album Only Love. We break down the boundary-pushing songs, the literary and historical reference points, and how to trick Ben Koller into playing drums in your band.

The Armed recruited guest drummer Nick Yacyshyn and proceeded to push the limits of their sound further than ever on their second album. We might not be pushing the limits of podcasting in the same way, but we are digging into Untitled, its commentary on modern media culture, and the band's incredible music videos.

One of modern hardcore's premiere acts, The Armed are notable for the shocking intensity of their shows as much as their penchant for mystery, pranks, and performance art. But before all of that mystique formed, the Armed were "just" a hardcore band from Detroit (or were they?). On the first episode of this series, we get into the band's history, their debut album These Are Lights, and a handful EPs, some of which we had to dig up from the depths of the internet.

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to call Home, Like NoPlace Is There the defining album of an entire emo era. We get deep into weeds (or, more appropriately, wildflowers) of The Hotelier's second album, its themes, and its legacy.

It's time for a new series, so we're digging into a short but spectacular discography: The Hotelier (or The Hotel Year, if you were around for the early days). This week we cover their early EPs and their debut album, It Never Goes Out, a burst of youthful idealism tempered with deep sadness.

We're capping our My Chemical Romance series with a survey of the band's non-album output, from the Conventional Weapons singles series to "Fake Your Death," "The Foundations of Decay," and what may or may not exist of The Paper Kingdom.

Look alive, sunshine! Our My Chemical Romance series continues with their final proper album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, a bright, power pop-inflected concept album (and expanded universe comic series) about rebellious gangs, evil corporations, android gods, and, sometimes, the experience of being in My Chemical Romance.

We're rising out of our coffins this week to talk about My Chemical Romance's breakthrough smash Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. We get into the mash-up of emo angst and pop punk choruses, the intense behind-the-scenes moments chronicled in Life On the Murder Scene, and the enduring legacy of this album.

This week we're starting a new series, and it's a big one. My Chemical Romance is a foundational band for us and for the entire emo/punk genre. On this episode, we get into the band's origins, their connections to Noise Floor faves Thursday, and of course their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.
