What Is The Best Weezer Album? Part 1: The Blue Album23 May 202602:04:12

This week on Hey, Listen to This!, Matt and Ryan are kicking off a massive two-part showdown. We are diving deep into the discography of a band that defined alternative pop-rock in the 90s, with one ultimate goal in mind: determining once and for all which record reigns supreme as the absolute best in Weezer's catalogue.


In Part 1 of our series, we are taking it back to May 1994 to break down their legendary self-titled debut, universally known as The Blue Album. Produced by Ric Ocasek, this record fused heavy, crunchy guitar walls with massive pop melodies—completely altering the course of modern indie, emo, and pop-punk.


Does The Blue Album hold the flawless tracklist necessary to take the crown, or will its raw, emotional counterpart edge it out next week? Tune in to hear what the guys have to say!

Nothing's About to Happen to Me by Mitski Album Review04 Apr 202602:02:38

On this week’s episode of Hey, Listen to This!, Matt and Ryan dive deep into Mitski’s latest LP, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me. Mitski continues to solidify her reputation as one of this generation’s most vital songwriters, blending devastatingly intimate lyricism with a bold expansion of her sonic palette. We break down how the album balances themes of domestic stagnation and the quiet anxiety of stability, all while exploring the shift toward more organic, folk-influenced arrangements paired with her signature orchestral swells. Is this a new peak for Mitski, or a transitional moment in an already storied career? Tune in to hear our full breakdown and see where this one lands in the discography.

Hey, Listen To This! The Game28 Mar 202601:08:24

This week, Matt and Ryan are stepping away from the track-by-track deep dives to see how much they actually remember from over 100 episodes of reviews. Jamie has officially taken over the studio, designing a game inspired by the React YouTube series.


The challenge? Identifying artists and songs exclusively from the archives of our past shows. Joining the fray is Rachel, acting as the ultimate wildcard contestant. Can she swoop in and play spoiler in this game?


From the genius of Purple Rain to the indie gems we’ve championed on Bandcamp, no past review is off-limits.

Heavy Heavy by Young Fathers Album Review 28 Feb 202601:45:51

On this week’s episode, Matt and Ryan finish off their celebration of Black History Month with a review of Heavy Heavy by Young Fathers. Stripping back the polish for a more "back-to-basics" approach, this 2023 Mercury Prize-nominated project is a kaleidoscopic blend of soul, trip-hop, and African-inspired rhythms. The Scottish trio explores themes of joy, struggle, and heritage through a wall of gritty, lo-fi sound, ranging from the gospel-infused energy of "Geronimo" to the pounding, rhythmic drive of "I Saw." Tune in to hear what Matt and Ryan have to say about the album!
