Season 1

Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope

Today we engage and deliberate with a sexy album by Janet Jackson, who did a really good job of differentiating herself from her siblings by not getting attacked by the Pepsi corporation. Middle finger to the PEPSI corporation, and big high five to our sponsor, Better Help. Better Help -- It's an unqualified "therapist" who doesn't care about you. Use code JACKSON10 to get a discount on us.

Episode 13: Wednesday - Bleeds

Heyo! It's lucky number episode 13! We talk about an album that Ted rated lower than he would currently rate it, because he saw them live and then liked the band more. Sometimes that's how it goes.

Episode 10: Floating Points - Cascade

ITommy claims "to have put a lot of effort into editing this one". So you should "put a lot of effort" into listening, eh! t's an electronic album by floating points that we review. We also talk about other topics, as we are wont to.

Episode 9: Mach-Hommy - #RICHAXXHAITIAN

Tom and Ted interweave thoughtful commentary on geopolitics and musical greatness in a conversation about one of rap's most elusive dudes

Episode 8: Charli XCX - Brat

When Ted predicted this would be the album of the year, was he right? Or was he.... VERY RIGHT? Or was he wrong? You be the judge by listening to this episode, where we judge the album!

Episode 7: Flatt & Scruggs - Presenting Flatt & Scruggs

It's bluegrass time! We review a classic bluegrass album from 1949. You've heard one bluegrass song, you've heard em all! At least that's what we say, in this episode that features an astonishingly small amount of actual music analysis.

Episode 6: Future & Metro Boomin - We Don't Trust You

This one's a bit shorter because Ted had stuff to do. We evaluate the first album in about 5 where Future actually put some effort in and contemplate the nature of rap beef more broadly.

Episode 5: Ludacris - Chicken-n-Beer

Tommy and Ted discuss Luda's 2003 album amid 2023's Luda renaissance

Episode 4: Zach Bryan - Zach Bryan (with special guest Claire Schwaba)

Sister of the Show Claire joins us to discuss 2023's hottest country album that isn't explicitly racist

Episode 3: Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights

In our first review of an Older Album, Tom and Ted talk about the 2002 album Turn On The Bright Lights and ponder what it means to make accidentally good music
