Customer Reviews
Lazy at Best, Hacks at Worst!
I tried listening to two episodes. I got thru one about an artist I enjoyed and another about an artist I had no opinion on (Beach Boys). Both were borderline incoherent. They don’t even reference song titles or lyrics or anything specific. It’s very puzzling.
For how many pop music podcasts are out there, please go for something else.
Fun and Interesting Takes on Classic Records
The concept is simple - a group of music fans randomly select one record from Rolling Stone’s 500 Top Albums list and give their take. Sometimes they’re already fans, sometimes it’s new to them. As a hardcore music nerd who already has my own opinions on most of these albums, I always enjoy hearing their takes - whether or not I agree! This show is a fun, entertaining way to engage with lots of classic music that may love (or hate) or may get to discover for the first time. Recommended!
Garbage and a waste of time
These people clearly don’t do their research before pressing “record” and their review of Mariah’s album is giving very racist.
