  • Searching For The Sound: Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

    Searching For The Sound: Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
    Aug 17 2023
    If a masterpiece could have a chosen masterpiece, then Paul's Boutique would be it. A revolutionary album that was not well recieved at first, but blossomed in the hearts and minds of music fans everywhere and primed everyone for the Beastie Boys to take over the world just a few years later.

    A perfect record and we gush over it while trying to talk about the many, many samples used in its creation. A top 10 album of all time. Never gonna let 'em say that I don't love you.

    Searching For The Sound: Black Sabbath Edition show 9 - Bonus Ep - Dio and more!
    Aug 2 2023
    We wrap up the Black Sabbath Edition of Searching For the Sound by showcasing the two Dio Sabbath albums as well as Born Again with Ian Gillan and whatever else they crapped out before Ozzy came back for 13. Some good, mostly bad. It's been a pleasure talking Sabbath with you and until next time, adios (aDIOs).

  • Searching For The Sound: Black Sabbath Edition show 8 - Never Say Die! (and 13)

    Searching For The Sound: Black Sabbath Edition show 8 - Never Say Die! (and 13)
    Jul 27 2023
    The last episode of the Black Sabbath Ozzy era! (bonus ep upcoming)

    Never Say Die! does not fare well with the panel and because it's so bad, we cover the reunion album, 13, in the second half. Still, metal is discussed and you'll enjoy the hot Sabbath talk.

    Stay tuned for the bonus episode which will cover the Dio Sabbath records as well as some later stuff that is pretty horrible. Fun.

  • Searching For The Sound: Black Sabbath Edition show 7 - Technical Ecstasy

    Searching For The Sound: Black Sabbath Edition show 7 - Technical Ecstasy
    Jul 20 2023
    A controversial episode as the boys DEFINITELY do not agree on this latter Ozzy era Sabbath album and it makes for a great epsiode because you can only nod and agree that "that riff is sweet" for too long before it becomes stale.

    And there is nothing stale about this one. It's spicy. One member of the show loves it and shares his story about listening to it with one of the guys in the excellent band The Figgs. The others were not impressed and the show ends in a stalemate about this divisive entry in the Sabbath catalog.

  • Searching For The Sound: Black Sabbath edition show 5 - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

    Searching For The Sound: Black Sabbath edition show 5 - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
    Jul 6 2023
    You bastards! The hits keep coming from Ozzy and crew. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath brings the heat and we can’t decide if THIS one isn’t our favorite Sabbath record.
    The guitars are thicker and Ozzy’s voice is higher. It’s a whole new vibe and they keep soaring for a bit more before they would start to fall. Bill Ward gets some major props from the boys. Sure he looks like a homeless guy, but he plays like a Swiss watch. And we suspect this is the point where Ozzy realizes his star might be starting to eclipse the other band members.
    John finally tells the story how he and Snyder had their Floyd/Wizard of Oz moment with a track off of this classic Sabbath disc and we look ahead to three remaining records in the Sabbath oeuvre.
