Brilliant and interesting

A fantastically well-layered, provocative production with crucially important, funny and interesting input from key players in one of the most celebrated and successful albums ever released. It’s spurred me to get re-listening to the album all week since I started Ep 1. Great to have the bonus episode and hear some genuinely heartwarming stories of just what The Black Album means to other fans all over the world. I’m hopeful for a Volume 2 at some point.
