    Episode 184 - Dada Part 3 , El Subliminoso

    Episode 184 – Dada Part 3, El Subliminoso A sad day in Palaver history. My podcast mates don’t seem to perceive the unmitigated genius in El Subliminoso in the same way I do. Dada’s third record shows the brilliant trio continuing to develop both their sound and their songwriting. Not everyone is buying what they are selling, but the trouble seems to stem more from the length of the album and the mid-90’s production than from anything else. Is this record a masterpiece or simply ok? Tune in and hear us try to sort it out.

    Topographic Topics, July 2026

    Topographic Topics – July 2026 The big news driving the episode is Asia's upcoming album *Indigo*, releasing November 6th via Frontiers Music. It will be their first studio album since 2014, which makes the announcement genuinely surprising and worth paying attention to. Joe shares his deep enthusiasm for Asia across all its iterations, and the group digs into what makes this release feel significant. John Mitchell shares production duties with Geoff Downs, John Wetton receives co-writing credits on several tracks, and both Steve Howe and Mike Portnoy make guest appearances (that guest list alone is worth the conversation). Can the first single, "The Traveler Into the Light," really recapture the feel of early 1980s Asia, or is it simply the product of a band deeply immersed in its own legacy? Beyond Asia, the group also covers Steven Wilson's surprise solo album announcement, Rick Wakeman's sequel album "Return to the Red Planet," and a lengthy discussion about the apparently still-viable development of Mike Flanagan's Dark Tower adaptation. They even venture into pedal board frustrations and guitar gear. Genuinely, there is something here for every kind of progressive rock fan. Tune in and join the conversation.

    Episode 183 - Dada Part 2, American Highway Flower

    Episode 183 – Dada Part 2, American Highway Flower Is American Highway Flower a genius follow-up to Dada’s spectacular debut of Puzzle? Is a good album but suffering a bit from the sophomore slump? The truth likely lies somewhere in between. Join us as we explore this simultaneously engaging and exasperating record. There is a wide range of reactions to this record and we think there is something here for virtually everyone. Spend some time with us as we explore the deepest corners of Dada’s second release.

    SCS44 - The Eagles in Arlington TX, May 2026

    SCS44 – The Eagles in Arlington TX, May 2026 Rarely does a legacy act manage to silence a skeptic, but the Eagles did exactly that at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Joe went in with reservations and came out genuinely impressed, and that shift in perspective makes this conversation worth your time. What won him over? The sheer professionalism of it all. (The band's attention to sound engineering alone apparently sets them apart from most touring acts.) Core members Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmidt, Vince Gill, and Deacon Frey were treated as equals on stage, not as hired hands filling gaps. Henley's drumming on "Hotel California" was a particular highlight. Joe also shares a surprisingly charming story about a Nashville breakfast with Vince Gill, and a candid anecdote involving Don Henley at DFW airport. The opening act Tedeschi Trucks Band drew mixed feelings, the stadium exit was a logistical mess, and yet the consensus remains clear. The Eagles delivered. If you have even a passing connection to songs like "Desperado" or "Rocky Mountain Way," listen to this episode.

    Episode 182 - Dada Part 1, Puzzle

    Episode 182 – Dada Part 1, Puzzle With this episode we start a new short segment on an unexpected band, Dada. A serendipitous find from 1992, Puzzle is Dada’s debut album and is a true gem. Dada were a genre-bending delight that manifested in strong songwriting backed up with top-flight production. This segment is a true joy for us. Prog? Maybe less so than many would hope, but we can’t recommend this album and group enough. Come along for a delightful ride into a fantastic corner of music.

    Bonus Episode - Ranking Porcupine Tree Album Covers

    Bonus Episode – Ranking Porcupine Tree Album Covers From the dreamlike mystery of On the Sunday of Life... to the haunting gaze of Fear of a Blank Planet, the surreal imagery of Deadwing, the minimalist design of Closure/Continuation, and everything in between, we debate which covers best capture the spirit of the music. Some choices were easy. Others sparked serious debate.

    Episode 181 - Porcupine Tree Part 12, The Incident

    Episode 181 – Porcupine Tree Part 12, The Incident For a long time, The Incident was the finale of Porcupine Tree. It’s an album that may or may not be reviled by the band themselves. As with many records in the genre, there are outstanding moments and there are confounding moments, a situation that is exacerbated by the presentation on streaming services. Such is life in the modern prog world. We hope you enjoy this Palaver about a worthy album.
