Wow what a joke this was.I like listening to you guys but your knowledge of music is poor. Nothing Shocking is a stone cold classic .You even said it sounded like it was made in mid nineties.Its so far ahead of its time it's untrue. Which on its own makes it a bonafide classic.
Listened to a few of these and it's plain both are really commercial and only love the singles and popular tracks off classic albums . Their talk on Nirvana 'In Utero' was a joke .I understand its only their opinions but they got this album so wrong.I recommend The Album Club episode 3 for better understanding and appreciation of this fantastic album.
