Classic Albums

Our ongoing series classic albums continues.

Kurt Cobain and his monstrous band Nirvana hit the scene like a wreaking ball on fire, leaving a path of destruction and turning Hair Metal Gods into dinosaurs almost overnight. Grunge swept through the music scene and changed the landscape forever.

Nirvana's second album Nevermind entered the world in 1991 and ever since is has arguably been one of the most influential albums never made......... BUT! How does the album hold up now and can it still be enjoyed long after it's first discovery to us? Me and Tom get deep into the swimming pool but is there much worth in the soggy dollar?

THIS EPISODES COVERS SOME VERY DARK CONTENT LISTENERS BE PREPARED!

This week we're getting deep into the darkest pits of the music world. Black Metal Murders causing literal MAYHEM, horrific crimes that tear a band apart.

Then we're tackling the topical sensation of 'cancel culture'.

Was Morrissey rightfully attacked for his right wing sympathies?

Why was Ariel Pink at the Jan 6th riots?

Did the shock rocker Marilyn Manson shock too far?

Did Mark Kozelek do a me too?

All this and more, strap in, it's a wild ride!

The first instalment in the new Classic Albums series.

Fleetwood Mac's 1977 most famous and beloved album Rumours is an example of lightning in a bottle! Affairs and internal warfare, elements that usually destroy bands and result in poor efforts, only drove them to create some of the most influencing rock, blues and country music ever!

But how does this album stand in this modern age? Myself and Tom get into the album and all the drama of the band in this weeks episode!

It's that time of year again!

Tis the season to be jolly, crack out the mince pies, decorate the house, chill out and torture yourself with horrible seasonal music!

Well maybe not the last but unfortunately for us Santa has condemned us to the naughty list and the only way to redemption is to curate and review some of the worst Christmas songs of all time.

We're getting our freak on with Korn, stepping into Christmas with Elton John, having a wonderful Christmas time with Paul McCartney, Wombling with the Wombles, being cheeky and chomping sausage rolls with Lad Baby and having a sexy time with Kylie

all this and more!

We hitting you with a selection of topics to debate this week time codes below!

0:00 Extreme Metal

We kick off the episode getting into the subject of extreme forms of metal such as black metal and metal. Is this music that is genuinely enjoyed? Or is it the showmanship and being part of the culture that's the main appeal to alternative sub cultures?

25:19 Music with extreme backgrounds

Moving on to music that's associated with extreme situations and circumstances such as Red Hot Chili Peppers John Frusciante's albums produced during his battles with drugs

32:45 Second hand embarrassments

Ever gone red in the face when you're playing your favourite band with company and the singer goes off the rails with some unhinged lyric? Ever turn the volume down when a guilty pleasure comes on in the car? I certainly have! We recall some awkward tales and have a look at Morrissey's bizarre lyrical content.

43:07 Sexually explicit music

Is pop music getting too graphic? Is there a need for further censorship to prevent young audiences being exposed to

songs such as Cardi B's WAP

52:30 Video Games

And to close And to close us off we reminisce on some great video game soundtracks from original scores like the music from Crash Bandicoot to curated soundtracks from jam packed games like Fifa and GTA

Seven years on from the tragic passing of Chester Bennington and the bands last album One More Light, Linkin Park has returned with a new lead vocalist Emily Armstrong. The Band have jumped right back into action with a new album and world tour, but along with this exciting news comes baggage and drama.

Have the proved the band can progress beyond their past legacy and continue to be alt metal legends? Or this is album dead on arrival? Here's my review of it anyway!

We're going back again! This time around we're revisiting some of our cherished songs from our youth. On the journey we go through many different genres of music from Nu-metal (as per), Glam rock, Musicals (yes really!), dance, emo, rock and metal!

However, sometimes one mans treasure is another mans trash! Listen in on some heated debates covering subjects like are My Chem actually good? Is Red Hot Chili Peppers Stadium Arcadium bloated? How did CKY create one of the best riffs of all time!?!?!

There's plenty jam packed into this episode and I hope you enjoy!
