RECORDED 8/19/24 It's music's day of reckoning! August has brought us some crazy bad albums, and we're here to show you some of them.

We opted to cover an additional album for this week's episode, and we were so glad we did, because they just kept getting better. Make sure to tune in next week, because it'll probably be the best selection of albums we'll ever review :) 00:00 Intro 00:05 Logic - Ultra 85 14:13 Beabadoobee - This is How Tomorrow Moves 20:13 King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - FLIGHT b741 29:02 Osees - SORCS 80 28:32 MAVI - shadowbox 49:29 your arms are my cocoon - death of a rabbit 1:00:20 Rankings/Outro

RECORDED 8/6/2024 This is the strangest episode we’ve recorded so far. Two of the five albums have some controversial circumstances, and three of the five albums didn’t even drop on Friday! Parannoul and JPEGMAFIA’s albums are being respected as the best albums of the whole year, and the newest Vultures album is being received entirely in the opposite direction. Even with all of that in mind, an unexpected album that got sent our way ended up stealing the show for us.

00:00 Intro 00:06 JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU 16:08 Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign/Y$ - VULTURES 2 28:19 파란노을 [Parannoul] - Sky Hundred 37:27 Auric Echoes - Division For Human Ascension 48:57 Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival - SONGS FOR SINNERS & SAINTS 55:46 Charli XCX and Billie Eilish - Guess Remix 59:00 Rankings/Outro

RECORDED 7/30/2024 Porter Robinson's wonderful follow-up SMILE :D has finally come to fruition, and the result was a pretty huge moment in music. Other albums this week, some of significance, did, in fact, release. They're... something. 0:00 Intro 00:06 Porter Robinson - SMILE :D 07:14 Ice Spice - Y2K! 16:23 Mustard - Faith of a Mustard Seed 23:14 Joy Again - Song and Dance 28:34 Discussion and Summary/This Week's Rankings/Outro

This week saw big returns from both Denzel Curry and Glass Animals! It also saw what's likely the final chapter to the Childish Gambino discography. There's a lot great to be had in the main releases, but a more underground release was the one to impress us the most of the bunch by far.

00:00 Intro 00:26 Denzel Curry - King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2 10:14 Childish Gambino - Bando Stone & The New World 18:42 Glass Animals - I Love You So Much 25:45 Aler Himself - Anything Helps No Drugs 34:43 DJ Re:code - ReVertPunk! 41:45 This Week's Rankings 44:11 Outro

RECORDED 7/18/24 With the dramatic return of Eminem and the newest from Clairo impressing the masses, this is a pretty crazy week for music. Even with these major releases considered, the lesser-known artists ended up stealing a lot of the show. Whether for their controversy or their greatness, there's a lot to discuss in this episode's albums.

00:00 Intro 00:42 Jojo Siwa - Guilty Pleasure 07:53 Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) 24:57 Clairo - Charm 30:35 MALNEEZY - To Cause Harm 37:42 Remi Wolf - Big Ideas 45:26 SPEED - ONLY ONE MODE 50:21 Skin Theory - June (Single) 52:48 Rankings 54:20 Outro

RECORDED 7/4/2024 After a bit of a drought, the music gods have returned to bless us with a packed week full of significant records! This week brought us Lil Yachty’s long-anticipated follow-up, an album with two Drake features, what some are considering Lupe Fiasco’s magnum opus, and that’s just scratching the surface! The quality ranges about as widely as it possibly could, so there was a lot to discuss and debate. 00:00 Intro 00:36 James Blake and Lil Yachty - BAD CAMEO 10:55 Lupe Fiasco - Samurai 15:33 Camila Cabello - C,XOXO 23:55 Imagine Dragons - LOOM 30:26 Hiatus Kaiyote - Love Heart Cheat Code 36:56 Uboa - Impossible Light 44:33 Rankings 45:29 Outro

This was a very significant week in music for the both of us, because Tyler the Creator has at long last dropped his eighth studio album, "Chromakopia". We had a lot of thoughts on it here, and probably could've gone on even longer than we already did. There were also a couple of notable albums in the Indie space from Soccer Mommy and Laura Marling. We took a look at those here as well, alongside a couple of very exciting singles. 00:00 Tyler the Creator - Chromakopia

18:49 Laura Marling - Patterns in Repeat

27:08 Soccer Mommy - Evergreen

31:57 Lady Gaga - Disease

34:46 Ghost Mountain and Sematary - Dark Harvest

RECORDED 6/27/2024

This is a fairly mixed bag of a week that brought some surprises. King Krule's new EP needed a close look, and we throw our hat in the ring with the discussion around Gracie Abrams. There are four other widely assorted albums in this episode, and they're... interesting.

00:00 Intro 00:29 King Krule - SHHHHHHH! EP0

5:20 Gracie Abrams - The Secret of Us

10:06 Pond - Stung!

20:44 The Story So Far - I Want to Disappear

RECORDED 10/22/24

This week's music felt particularly significant in a year that's already been so significant. The most popular realease this time around is Yeat's "Lyfestyle" which is making just as big of a splash as his "2093" album earlier this year.

00:00 Yeat - LYFESTYLE

08:36 Jean Dawson - Glimmer of God

19:10 Machine Girl - MGULTRA

27:40 Kelly Lee Owens - Dreamstate

36:24 Some closing thoughts...

This was supposed to go up here much earlier, but we ran into some technical difficulties. Apologies for the wait!

RECORDED 10/15/24 The mix of albums we have here is one of the most diverse so far. The biggest album itself is also one of the most diverse albums we've covered on here. The Brat remix album is certainly a wild moment in music, and the other albums here live up to the moment easily.
00:00 Charli XCX - Brat and it's completely different but also still brat 19:44 Chat Pile - Cool World 28:55 Current Joys - East My Love 38:03 TURQUOISEDEATH- Kaleidoscope 46:14 E L U C I D - REVELATOR 55:01 Closing thoughts

There was even some unexpected comeback singles we talk about at the end, so stick around for that! Sorry for the technical issues with this one. Micah recorded on a $10 webcam by mistake. It's rough. We're sorry.
