    The Smile - “Wall of Eyes” Album Review

    The Smile - “Wall of Eyes” Album Review

    In this episode, our hosts - one a big Radiohead fan, the other a novice - review the latest album by The Smile (Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood + Sons of Kemet’s Tom Skinner) - “Wall of Eyes.” Using their time-tested (well, one time, anyway) 20-point scoring method, they’ll break down what they liked, what they didn’t, what confused them, and how it must feel to be a side-chick of a side-chick.

    Album Review - “S.O.S.” by SZA

    In this episode of The Extended Play Podcast, hosts E and Tank review “S.O.S.” by SZA. Our hosts are going in knowing next to nothing about this album (well, except that it was most people’s album of the year in 2023 and won a few Grammys), and you won’t believe what they thought.

Super Fun!

E & Tank's conversations feel like catching up with music-obsessed friends! Their engaging rapport and insightful discussions make episodes zoom by. A must-listen for any music fan!

satisfying

This makes me feel nostalgic for the music conversations I never had with my friends, if that makes any sense.

A Music Lover’s Guilty Pleasure

I’m a music fan, so even before episode 1, I was already intrigued. Hosts, E and Tank, brilliantly discuss topics from a unique perspective that always leave me seeing things from a new perspective. There are so many moments of “YES! That’s exactly how I feel!” But just as many, “I never thought about it that way”. I am seeing my music collection in a brand new light and has me spinning new artists/tracks thanks to the wonderfully crafted “Playlist Challenge”. On top of their music knowledge, the banter is worth the price of admission of these lifelong friends.

Happy to be a member of the Extended Family. I look forward to every episode. Keep up the good work, gents!!
