Today we're kicking off our new series on Paramore, starting with All We Know Is Falling. Launched into the heyday of the emo and pop punk revolution, it's a fun, catchy album and an impressive artistic statement for a band so young. We go through the album, a slew of early demos, and end the show with a new segment.

We're a little bit baffled and a little bit intrigued by Under the Blacklight, Rilo Kiley's uneven swan song (for now?). As we finish our series on the band, we get into producer choices, a wealth of B-sides, and finally rank the discography.

We're at the turning point of Thursday's career, so we're talking leaked demos, experimental left turns, and Dave Fridmann's controversial production and mix on A City By the Light Divided.

Our Thursday discography series continues with a deep dive into War All the Time. We talk through the band's embattled relationship with Victory Records, the long, expensive recording process, and how this album spoke to both of us as young fans.

Will our second episode become an undisputed classic that defines an entire era? Will it influence every podcast recorded in the next 20 years? Probably not, but Full Collapse sure did.

Rilo Kiley made the jump to a major label for More Adventurous, but we're still very much an independent podcast. Fortunately, that won't stop us from diving into this masterclass of songwriting and production.

We're back to our Rilo Kiley series with The Execution of All Things, an album of deeply personal self-exploration and spectacular guitar lines.

We're taking a break from our Rilo Kiley series to look back on 2024 and count down our favorite albums of the year.

Our Rilo Kiley series continues with their first proper full-length, Take Offs and Landings. We go deep on the brilliance of "Pictures of Success," get distracted by Explosions In the Sky album artwork, and suggest additions to Matt's emo trumpet playlist. In an unlikely turn of events, Troy even praises a Blake song.
