| Johnny Cash - Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian | 07 oct. 2026 | 01:16:10 | |
All roads lead here. We've covered 3 Johnny Cash albums so far, 2 of which were in this trilogy of episodes (as well as some not so tame references in other episodes). We have one more Johnny Cash deep dive to get to, but before we get to his American Series, we have to get to his original "controversial" album about the Native Americans. Bitter Tears was released to mixed reviews in 1964, with sales for the album following his previous album trends, but without the airplay he was used to getting. This is the man the wrote "Ring of Fire"!! Cash had sang about Native American issues before, but this time it had a sense of urgency since it was calling out the then CURRENT displacement of the Seneca people. Between 1960 and 1964, Congress and JFK's administration determined that they be moved from the land promised to them by George Washington (in one of our oldest treaties)--in order to make way for a dam... A dam which eventually caused flooding and damage to their NEW homes as well. It was a true tragedy happening right in front of America's eyes and, as usual, they didn't want to acknowledge it. Although the album didn't get the play at the time it deserved, it has become recognized as one of his best works.

| Johnny Cash - Ride That Train | 23 sept. 2026 | 01:16:10 | |
On the second in our Johnny Cash trilogy of episodes, we're talking about an age old artform: the travelogue! Johnny Cash saw all these hippies and weirdos trying out concept albums and he decided he wanted in! But his concept album was going to be different. One that really represented him as the "i've been everywhere-man". The result is one of the most interesting concept albums you ever heard, complete with a full story before each song. Don't miss it!

| Pink Floyd - The Final Cut (w/ Adeyemi AKA Santine!!!) | 08 sept. 2025 | 01:58:58 | |
We are taking a break from our trip backwards through Pink Floyd's discography to put one last nail into The Wall... The Final Cut is one of the most divisive albums in rock history; and one of the most intriguing... It's an anti-war concept album using the leftover bricks from The Wall to bring attention to the war that Britain had just waged to keep control of their colony in The Falkland Islands. Roger Waters felt that by not finding a peaceful alternative, Britain was spitting on the legacy of the soldiers that died to defend peace and freedom, including his own dad. It's also a pointed criticism of the cold war era and the various land grabs that plagued it, by colonial powers unwilling to let go of the colonial age. On it's own, it's an incredible anti-war album that continues to be relevant any time authoritarianism rears it's head, like now with the rise of fascism in America and the Genocide of Gazan Palestinians. In the context of Pink Floyd and Waters' mental health, however, the album shows how difficult it can be to come to terms with your own trauma without pushing everyone you love away. Both in the context of The Wall and The Final Cut, Rogers is taking on the crushing weight of his own trauma and the dystopian cycle of violence that keeps making albums like this relevant.

| Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds | 26 août 2025 | 01:43:05 | |
We've all seen the memes. Ice Cube and various other zoom actors were in a recent take on The War of the Worlds. It's worse than you think, etc... But what about a War of the Worlds that's BETTER than you think?? We decided to crack open one of the greatest telling of this classic tale, complete with disco, spooky sounds, and proggy composition. It's like if Pet Sounds and Tubular Bells had a really funky baby. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hear Jon's perspective on germ theory.

| Donna Summers - Once Upon A Time | 11 août 2025 | 01:12:07 | |
Today, we follow a tale as old as time... A woman from the city that just wanted to get by and be appreciated... A woman that made her own way, despite the trials and tribulations it took to get there... A woman that knew how to flaunt it and find her own Prince Charming... A woman that became the Queen of Disco... Donna Summer. In Once Upon a Time, Donna retells the Cinderella story in a way that only she can. It should have been a full on Broadway production... and it still can if you ask us!

| Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music | 14 avr. 2025 | 01:10:57 | |
It's 1962. Ray Charles is several albums into his deal with ABC-Paramount. It's one of the greatest deals a musician has ever received from a label, but Ray is not satisfied. You see, he doesn't like the notion that his songs should be segregated into R&B charts and put in a separate category than Country. After all, they both sing from the soul about heart ache and sadness and have a lot in common. Despite some initial opposition from his management, Ray pushed forward to make a crossover record in the midst of a civil rights movement that was in full force. This album took the radio by storm. They were playing it on R&B stations, Country stations, black stations, white stations--and it went straight to number one on the charts, his first album ever to do that.

| K-OS - EXIT (w/ Kelly from Canuck is a Slur!!!) | 21 janv. 2025 | 02:10:14 | |
When you think of the city Toronto, there are a few names come to mind. Drake... snowd4y................... the rest. But there's one Torontonian that both Drake and snowd4y look up to and respect. One Torontonian that walked, so that Drake could run. One Torontonian that's actually...weirdly connected to Drake... in the sense that his next album is financed by him... That's right. I'm talking about the GOAT of the Toronto Hip Hop scene, K-OS and we're discussing his debut album paradoxically about his EXIT from the music industry.

| Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow | 10 déc. 2024 | 01:37:38 | |
The year is 1967. A lot of popular musicians are moving towards psychedelia. It's kind of a buttoned up movement still--on the surface people still look business casual, even if their hair is getting long. The San Francisco hippie scene hasn't yet merged with the British invasion. But all that would change during the "Summer of Love", when they all came together and made a promise to "turn on, tune in, and drop out." Jefferson Airplane took center stage as the group most representative of that ethos, with their recent addition of model-turned-singer, Grace Slick on vocals. She brought with her a few songs from her previous group, The Great Society that would come to define the hippie movement as a whole; the pop hit "Somebody to Love" and the moody psychedelic anthem "White Rabbit". The concept behind Surrealistic Pillow...? Acid... It's a lot of acid.

| Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother | 21 oct. 2024 | 01:19:04 | |
Soooo... Last week we were glazing pretty hard about our boys in The Pink Floyd... but this week... the glazing has come to a hard stop. Maybe it's the weird production choices, maybe it's the awesome album cover for a below average Floyd album, maybe it's the fact that we JUST listened to Meddle, in which they perfect what they were trying to accomplish here with the "Atom Heart Mother" suite. Maybe we've become cynical and jaded. Either way, if you want to hear us be critical about Floyd for once, this is the episode for it! Sorry in advance to all the Atom Heart Mother die hards...

| Pink Floyd - Meddle | 14 oct. 2024 | 01:14:19 | |
We're officially in the throes of SEASON 5!!! And you know that means that it's time to talk about another Pink Floyd album in our series going backwards through their discography. Last time we left our heroes, they were throwing together an album that was for a movie, but also wasn't? (i don't remember that feels like a lifetime ago). However, before that, they had achieved what would become their signature sound, with the long-crafted compilation of various "nothings" they had left on the cutting room floor throughout the years. That achievement was called "Echoes" and it takes up the entire B side of Pink Floyd's 4th (or 5th) record, "Meddle". Side A also has some songs that would become Floyd classics, such as "Fearless" and "One of These Days". It's underrated by the casual rock fan, and overrated by Floyd purists. Either way, it's a magical and important piece to the Pink Floyd journey. EDITOR'S NOTE: Brad was incorrect when he said they didn't perform the whole "Echoes" suite live in Pompeii. He was just looking at a shorter version of it on YouTube, like a chump.

| [ARTIST SPOTLIGHT] Inspector 34 - Squint Your Ears (w/ Jimm, Alex, and Pat from Inspector 34!) | 07 oct. 2024 | 02:26:10 | |
Everyone that listens to this podcast knows that I ride for Inspector 34. Their debut album, Love My Life was my album of the year when it came out and this is proving to be one of my favorites this year. Seriously, these guys are critically underrated and they deserve to be in your earholes. Also, this ep is fun if you enjoy musicians actually discussing the recording process. This band reps both coasts and everything inbetween and you won't regret listening.

| The 200th Episode! - Ranking Concept Albums (feat. TierMaker) | 01 oct. 2024 | 03:17:21 | |
We've been doing the podcast for almost 5 years and in that time we've discussed all variety of concept albums. We've discussed brilliantly crafted social commentaries, deeply personal tragedies, space oddities, and brat reinventions. We've followed the rise of King Crimson and the fall of Pink Floyd, the tragedy of Janice Joplin and the triumph of Louryn Hill, and the forerunners of the concept albums we enjoy today. This has been an incredible journey and we couldn't have done it without each and every listener that tunes in. You have let me do a thing I have a passion for and I get to keep doing it because you keep listening! I'll be forever grateful. And I'm especially grateful for my cohosts, past and present, for giving me their time and energy these past 5 years. John Griffith, Jake "the Snake" Foster, Trevor "The Altered Beast" Kolden, Scott Westley, Nathan Maney, Reis Galvan, and of course, the cohosts with the mo-host Jon Acker and Dave Gallagher. I love you guys and I couldn't be happier with this podcast and the people I make it with.

| The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (with Gus, Dan, and Stephen from The Bitter Ends!!!) | 02 sept. 2024 | 01:49:53 | |
We have Rockford, IL's own The Bitter Ends and we're wrapping up 199 episodes of the podcast (before starting fresh on 200) with truly one of the greatest concepts to grace this podcast, Frances the Mute! From the beautiful, but tragic story, to the inspiration that created it, to the scorching riffs and prog trumpets (to the decoded version of the album that combines the single Frances the Mute overtop the album Frances the Mute). If you're a concept fan, this is an epic concept. See The Bitter Ends live in September!!!!

| Usher - Confessions | 05 août 2024 | 01:16:17 | |
In his most personal album yet, Usher took his rocket blasting into the stars and poured some nas in the tank. This album put him on the map for good and solidified him as our generation's R Kelly (without all the weird pdfile/pee stuff). This is the kind of thing that Millenials were bumping and grinding to, and for good reason. Listen along with us to see how many of these tracks really are confessions, and how many are just about fuckin.

We've raved over DAMN. We dick-rided To Pimp a Butterfly. Now it's time to really glaze, because it is the summer of "Not Like Us" and we're going back to long before the beef began. It's time for the origin story for Drake v Kendrick with the album that put them together in a track, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. Before Kendrick turned into the literal Boogie Man of Haters, there was a time when he could be in the same studio as him. Although, he phoned it in a little bit in the music video...

| Woody Guthrie - Dust Bowl Ballads | 24 juin 2024 | 01:13:46 | |
We're 194 episodes into this show and as we draw closer to the 200th, we thought we'd get to the ACTUAL first concept album (by most accounts): Woody Guthrie's 1940 song collection called Dust Bowl Ballads. This collection came out in 2-three disc 78 rpm records with one song per side. With autobiographical elements as well as story elements of John Steinbeck's 1939 epic "Grapes of Wrath", this album tells us the tragedy of the Dust Bowl, the forcing of 1000s of families off their farm land, the horrible working conditions of the migrants seeking better life in the "Peach Bowl" of California, and the opposition they found in corrupt business and police-men and their counterparts in vigilantes. Although this came out in 1940, it reflects on a lot of worker's rights issues that we are still facing trying to get fair wages today.

| King Crimson - Discipline (w/ Adam Elk!) | 11 juin 2024 | 01:26:56 | |
In 1974, in the wake of the release of their magnum opus, Red, Robert Fripp made the decree "King Crimson is completely over. For ever and ever." And he meant it... for a time. For the next few years, he left the music industry completely to focus on himself and his spirituality, but he wouldn't be out for long. In the late 70s into 1980, Fripp was pulled back into the fold, laying down guitar work for legends such as David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, and Daryl Hall. Finally, the need to be in a group resurfaced, and he enlisted Adrien Belew (who had just come off the "Remain in Light" tour) and Tony Levin (a master of the Chapman Stick) to join himself and Bill Bruford in a New Wave band calling itself Discipline. It wasn't very long before it became apparent that this grouping was the next incarnation of King Crimson, and in 1981, they wowed the rock world with a completely new sound for the band. It was New Wave, but still with all the Prog polyrhythms that defined them in the past. Whatever you think of this point in their discography, it's clear they were masters of reinvention. Today we're joined once again by Adam Elk from The Mommyheads!!! They are finally touring the midwest THIS WEEKEND and you should come out and see them! Tour dates linked belew.

On September 9th, 1999 (or 9-9-99), Thomas Bangalter and and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo became robots. After a night of working on a track, their sampler crashed and exploded. After some quick surgery to treat their injuries, they came out as robots. After realizing their track had been erased from the incident, they started to toil away on "Discovery" to try and regain what humanity they had left... Returning guest Derick McDuff returns!

| Alice In Chains - Dirt (w/ Lunar Moth!!!) | 20 mai 2024 | 02:13:50 | |
Alrighty y'all, this episode is going to get DARK. We've talked about heroin as a subject matter in many songs for many bands, but today we get INTO it. Coming from an era glorifying the sex, drugs, and rock and roll style, Alice in Chains and their grunge cohorts recontextualized the lifestyle to be more of a cautionary tale than something to aspire to. In Dirt, we get the entire journey of heroin addiction; from the lackadaisical first time, to the brink of death's door, to the harrowing trial of withdrawal. They weren't the first band in the genre to experience the tragedy of heroin addiction and certainly wouldn't be the last, but Dirt remains one of the best examples of that internal conflict.

| Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Pt. 2 (Return of the Ankh) | 06 mai 2024 | 01:24:12 | |
Last time on the pod we discussed Erykah's left brain album and today we have it's counterpart in her right brain album, New Amerykah Pt. 2, that arrived two years after New Amerykah Pt. 1. While it continues to have mixes from some of the best underground producers in the game, this one gets a little more personal. In "Return of the Ankh", she dissects all of her relationships--with her lovers, with her fans, with money, and with herself; and creates a hip hop classic while doing so.

Today we're talking about none other than the First Lady of Neo Soul. If you've ever wondered how hip hop of the 2010s got so groovy, look no further than New Amerykah. With her eclectic style and taste in music, she brings us everything from 70s funk to 90s R&B and everything in-between. After a several year hiatus due to writer's block, Erykah, with the help of some of hip-hops best producers, she came back strong with this record and remains somewhere near the top of mount hip-hop.

| Hole - Live Through This (w/ Emily Mills and Meghan Rose of Damsel Trash!!!) | 26 févr. 2024 | 02:11:46 | |
Courtney Love. A woman plagued by tragedy and misogyny, tabloid and conspiracy. She has been called a lot things over the years, some by friends, many by the media. She has had beefs with the likes of Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan, Gwen Stefani, and Tori Amos, to name a few. However, one thing is certain. She is a force to be reckoned with. Today we're discussing the album that came out less than a week after Kurt Cobain's tragic passing, and a few months before the passing of their own bassist, Kristen Pfaff. "Live Through This" has become infamous for the tragedy that surrounds it, as well as the prophetic nature of the lyrics, and became one of the most important albums of the 90's. We're joined by one of my favorite Madison bands (although these days they're a Madison AND New York band), Damsel Trash!!! We have Emily Mills, who is also in Little Red Wolf and Line -- and Meghan Rose, Little Red Wolf alum and musical composer for such musicals as "Held" and "Xena: Warrior Musical"!!!

Today we talk about the GOAT of sports video games. In 1999, a man by the name of Hawk cashed in all of his clout for one game that would change the landscape of games forever... and its music. We're talking about the soundtrack that introduced a generation to bands like Dead Kennedys, Primus, The Vandals, and Goldfinger, to name a few. This soundtrack, and the rest of the soundtracks in the series still resonate to this day with skaters, punks, and music lovers alike. It's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1, the soundtrack...

What's up everyone it's Nate here with our first episode of "The Concept", a rebranding of The Album Concept Hour, now with more personality and introducing our new correspondent Sam Bronn! Brad left us high and dry by staying out in LA, so now I can finally really start to clean up this disaster that he created.
