SPEAKER_03 2:45

Hey. What's going on? Um, not much, not much. I didn't know that was a topical intro. It was. First song on the album, so that's not a good sign. Well, no, actually, I think the the main reason why is because um you you heard lyrics.

Oh, don't start with me, Steven.

unknown 3:01

Yeah!

SPEAKER_04 3:01

Don't start with David Stop with no more limb biscuit.

I don't want your negativity today. No, no, no. I'm not actually, believe it or not, not as negative as you may think.

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Okay. Yeah. Well, talk about a cliffhanger, Dave.

SPEAKER_03 3:18

What? Steven doesn't think the album is yuck. Oh, well, hold on. I didn't say that. No. I said not as negative as you may think.

SPEAKER_04 3:26

David, David, David, David. Topical uh transition words.

SPEAKER_03 3:32

Are you asking me for one? I think I did one. All right. Well, I don't think you did one. Well, you're really close to me right now. As close as I can be. This is the closest you've been to me right now. Well, okay, well, let me tell a little bit about the album first, Stephen. Let me tell you a little bit about the album. Don't jump the shark.

unknown 3:54

What?

SPEAKER_03 3:55

Alright. So the album we're reviewing is Yuck by Yuck. It's self-titled. It was released February 15th, 2011. Which means that the album is now 15 years old. It was released on Fat Possum. That's just such a very odd way to be like. That's a good that's a good thing. And so the album was released on Fat Possum Records. It's so hard to find this album on freaking Spotify. We'll talk about that. Is that a Sailor Teddy band?

SPEAKER_04 4:25

It sure is. So I got it at a thrift store. Is that new? Yeah, I got it at a thrift store.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

Okay, because I was gonna say I've never seen that.

SPEAKER_03 4:32

Oh wow, that's actually terrifying. Right? That looks like it might be haunted. I literally just laid it. It has like a demon child. How old is it?

SPEAKER_00 4:41

Oh, it's from 1991.

SPEAKER_03 4:42

1991? Yeah. I think that's old enough to be haunted. Nope. It's uh well that would be I'm old enough to be haunted. I looked it up and it's not old enough to be haunted. 93 is the cutoff. It's it's SS Teddy Man.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

I feel like you need to hang that next to the disgruntled fisherman paint picture.

SPEAKER_03 4:58

I love that one. I know, but I feel like that needs to be with yeah, why why is it not?

SPEAKER_05 5:04

Hey Steve, remember we could very easily just switch this one over to with that. Yeah, literally. Steven probably should be.

SPEAKER_03 5:09

Okay, perfect. So Fat Possum Records. This album was released on. Yeah, it was. Here's an interesting. Hey, there's 12 songs. Thank you, David. You're welcome. So that's all I finally looked it up on spot. That's all we need. Peering into my souls. Well, stop stop staring at it. It angers it. What is with that? Can we talk about the album cover? In a second. Can we talk about the can I give some freaking information? Nobody really cares. People care a lot. Bears in here. Steven, stop! I just noticed it's a bit more. Commenting on the amount of bears I have. Yeah, there is a lot of bears. Like then there's like the Patucket like paw socks. No, he does have a weird, like he has a weird obsession with bears. And then there's the bear skateboard. Which is odd because I don't remember him as a child having like a like a teddy bear.

SPEAKER_00 5:52

I had a late I was a late bloomer when it came to bears.

SPEAKER_03 5:56

A lot of bears.

SPEAKER_00 5:56

Yeah, bear.

SPEAKER_03 5:57

I remember you having a lot of Barbies.

SPEAKER_00 5:59

No.

SPEAKER_03 6:00

Oh yeah. Well, while we were getting G.I. Joe's, you were getting Barbies. Because I'd get mad when we pen with the G.I. Joe'cause. And then we'd steal your Barbie.

SPEAKER_04 6:08

Well, because I'm sensitive and I used to I I care about caring about it.

SPEAKER_03 6:11

We wanted the Barbie kitchen set, like, and he was like really adamant about it. Yeah, he got it. Don't talk about my 13th birthday, please. But I will say this. Now he actually like is like cooks a lot. So it makes sense. Yeah, no, I'm not sure. He likes cooking. So anyway. So Yuck by Yuck. Yeah, yeah. What was the album? Yeah, no, I mean. Here's the thing. Can I tell you a little bit about Fat Possum Records for a second? I hope you did. I mean, I guess so. It sounds pretty cool for a name.

SPEAKER_00 6:34

So Fat Possum Records out of Oxford, Mississippi. Okay. This is this is the type of album, this is the type of label that if an album is released on this label, I am pretty confident I will like it. There has been very few misses from Fat Possum Records that I have not enjoyed.

SPEAKER_03 6:53

So that's like never. That's like a you thing. So when I came across this album.

SPEAKER_02 6:58

There's a smokey the bear, too.

SPEAKER_03 7:00

I like Smoky. No, yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of bears. I like the book. Is there any other bears? I'm not a lot of bears. Wait, wait, wait. Bigfoot. Is he considered kind of bear like? David, don't be stupid. I would think so. No, no, no. I mean, he's like big furry thing. He's an listen, I get it. He's like a primate, and I get that. Yeah. Okay. But like, in the same sense, I mean, like, you know, every time there's a sighting, they always say, like, I sure wasn't a bear.

SPEAKER_05 7:26

Yeah. Yeah. You want to know what Dave?

SPEAKER_02 7:28

We need to bear with Michael and let him finish.

SPEAKER_05 7:32

I don't really want to, Steven.

SPEAKER_02 7:34

So anyway.

SPEAKER_00 7:36

So this album was released in 2011. Okay. I found this album specifically because I saw the artwork. I was at a local record store. I saw the album. I liked the artwork. I said, yuck sounds interesting. Fat Possum Records sounds awesome. I threw it on, and boy oh boy, was I pleasantly surprised.

SPEAKER_05 7:59

So I definitely, definitely love the artwork. Okay. Um, and I I do love the self-titled, like, you know, it just says yuck. Like you're looking at it and you're like, yeah, I gotta see what the hell this is.

SPEAKER_04 8:10

Yeah, it's intriguing.

SPEAKER_03 8:11

You know, I'm totally on board. Yeah. No, I that's why I'm saying is like I I enjoy the uh the artwork a lot. Okay. Like I I feel it like totally. It's crazy. I actually do you have any shit um behind the artwork at all?

SPEAKER_00 8:24

Like I I don't have any information on the artwork. What the fuck?

SPEAKER_03 8:27

I thought this was your podcast. Literally. All right. Well, all right. This is garbage. I'm sorry. Well, I do have information about the bands. Nobody gives a fuck about that, though. I want to know about the art. Okay, you got this. Google it, David! Weird one-armed guy with a little dot over his own. Alright, well, while Steven's talking and no one's paying attention, I'll Google it.

SPEAKER_05 8:44

Man boobies, and he's got like a receding hairline.

SPEAKER_04 8:47

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

And it looks like uh maybe a rat tail.

SPEAKER_04 8:50

So Steven?

SPEAKER_03 8:51

It's pretty dope.

unknown 8:51

What?

SPEAKER_03 8:52

I don't have a fucking rat tail. That's the only thing that you remember. Shut up, I don't have a rat tail. I don't think that was what the transition was set up for, but that was the worst part. Don't put out there that I have a rat tail.

SPEAKER_00 9:02

So this this band is comprised of four people. That's great. Okay. Yeah. Daniel Bloomberg and Max Bloom are the kind of creative heads of this band. Sounds great. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 9:11

They were originally in a band. They're from the UK. They were originally in a band called Cajun Dance Party. Okay. Yeah. I've heard of them. Which was like kind of like a poppy band. Okay. Um, similar to bands like The Kooks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Right. And um, but then they broke up.

SPEAKER_00 9:33

And then they broke up, and then they then they formed Yuck. Okay. And this was kind of when like there was like that 90s revival in like the early 2020s.

SPEAKER_05 9:41

Why does one of them have an afro?

SPEAKER_00 9:43

That's the that's the drummer.

SPEAKER_04 9:44

That's Johnny Rogoff.

SPEAKER_05 9:46

I don't know about him.

SPEAKER_04 9:46

He's from New Jersey.

SPEAKER_05 9:48

I I'm no, I I think he's a great guy.

SPEAKER_04 9:50

They actually met at a falafel shop.

SPEAKER_05 9:52

Not film the afro. Of course they didn't.

SPEAKER_04 9:54

Well, what does that mean, Steven?

SPEAKER_05 9:55

Oh, here's a like modern photo of them, and it looks like they like definitely took it on like a Well, Daniel Bloomberg left after this album.

SPEAKER_04 10:02

Cool.

SPEAKER_05 10:03

Oh, well, there's still four people.

SPEAKER_04 10:06

Yes. They added somebody. That's how things work, David.

SPEAKER_03 10:09

No, no, yeah, but who is the I can't tell. I don't know. It's a bad photo. Okay. So, Steven. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who would like to start with kind of giving your general thoughts on the album of the album this one?

SPEAKER_02 10:23

I can.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

Okay. Oh no.

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Honestly. Please be honest. It started out and and I it did start. That's how all albums work. So I literally started listening to it and I was like, oh. Like music. Like it actually sounded like.

SPEAKER_04 10:38

Yeah, Getaway is the title. Is the is the first track.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

No, no, no, but I'm yes, but I'm saying like it actually sounded like music. Like the instruments actually came together. There was actually like structure. And I was like, ooh, I got this this is actually sounds good. Like I'm I'm all right. Good start. Yes, I like it. Then he started singing, I think.

SPEAKER_04 10:56

He did, yes. It was singing. Don't don't don't dismirch Daniel Bloomberg.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

No, no, no, no. Hold on. I'm not saying he's a bad singer or there's bad lyrics or anything like that. I'm saying I don't fucking know. And the reason why is what? Yes. Reason why is I don't know much. What the fuck was that filter that he was singing on sounding like it was coming through a megaphone from 1986? A lot of like fuzz. No, a lot of fuzz. And number two, I did not hear him at all.

SPEAKER_04 11:26

Why not?

SPEAKER_01 11:27

He was so drowned out. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:29

The music was too loud. He was so drowned out. And with that filter on top of it, I was like, I can't hear him at all.

SPEAKER_00 11:37

You're a pretty negative person.

SPEAKER_03 11:38

No, no, no. I'm saying genuinely, I was like, this sounds like it could be a good song, but I can't fucking hear it. I David, did you hear words? Yeah, yeah. No, I actually did hear words. Okay, I don't know what happened to you.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Are you serious? It was so it was so like uh I'm sitting there going, like, I I found myself struggling.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

I had to turn off the volume so I could actually like it.

SPEAKER_04 11:59

That's a good way. That's nice.

SPEAKER_03 12:00

I was like, I I can't hear what he's saying. And then it it it just went like that for like every song until like the third track, whatever it is, and until the third track.

SPEAKER_00 12:12

The third track is shut down.

SPEAKER_03 12:13

Steven, are you sure you listened to the album? Yes, but the third track, I was like, oh, no shitty filter. Yeah, but he was still really soft. Like, I was like, why is it when people are soft? Yeah, he can be soft. The vocal track was so soft in all of them, and 90% of them had that shitty filter on it.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

And then, like, when when there wasn't a shitty filter, I was like, okay, the guy has a decent voice. Okay, but like why is he being buried behind the music track? And also, why are we using the shitty filter on his voice?

SPEAKER_04 12:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:45

And and that was my main hang up with the whole album.

SPEAKER_04 12:51

Okay. So you're so done?

SPEAKER_03 12:54

Well, and if you just like read well, if you just want general thoughts. Okay, so that was general thoughts. Alright. So let's before we dive in, David. Yes, general thoughts. So you know how we were talking about how like doing this a little differently. I remember that.

SPEAKER_05 13:10

So like me and Steven decided we weren't gonna take notes anymore. We were just gonna dive right in. Yes. So I did something different this time. Okay. Okay. I didn't listen to the album. What? No, I'm just walking with you. Wait, seriously? No. I got Steven, Michael now. Alright.

SPEAKER_03 13:29

Fuck, man. I was like, I wouldn't have listened to it either then. That's not how this podcast worked. It's literally the opposite of the podcast.

SPEAKER_05 13:40

Anyway, so no, honestly though, same with Steven. Um, we were um I was listening to it and I really did enjoy uh I did enjoy the vocals this time. Okay. And uh the music, the the instrumental's the same as every other hipster kind of instrumental. But I actually got the opposite. Nah, it's the all right, so another one.

SPEAKER_00 14:03

Like there was like a nine like the 90s shoe gazy type.

SPEAKER_03 14:06

Alright, high production value, same stuff. Interesting because it's actually was recorded in a bedroom. Okay, so that was then so much sense. Hold on, then very talented artists recording in a bedroom.

SPEAKER_05 14:24

Um but no, seriously, sounded really good across the board. Vocals I liked, it actually sounded better. It wasn't that fucking whiny, like hard when they blended in to the female vocals, yeah. That kind of was like, alright, I don't know how I'm feeling her voice. Okay. Uh, and then when we came back to the dudes, we were good, and then all of a sudden, towards the end, then it all it took like a really hardcore nosedive. Like the last two songs definitely it turned into like that typical hipster, like, I'm here with you, I'm here with you. Like that kind of crap.

SPEAKER_03 15:06

That was nice, David. Did you like the game? It was really good.

SPEAKER_05 15:08

I did break out some other stuff. You're really talented. Side fact, alright? No, no side facts. Your side facts are insane. Do you know? Do you know what I decided that I'm actually really into and I'm okay owning now? What's that? I'm really into Credence Clearwater revival.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

I fucking love CCR! Oh, cool! Do you really? I fucking love CCR. I was just talking about that in his life. Stop pointing at me.

SPEAKER_05 15:30

Hold on. Have you heard um they're live at Woodstock?

SPEAKER_01 15:32

Yes! Dude. So I fucking love C. I listened to CCR so fucking much, you have no idea. Oh no, me too. CCR, I was telling Mike because we were talking about it at his birthday. You weren't there. Yeah. We were talking about it. I said, Yeah, thanks, Dave. I have not been around for a few weeks. No, I said, you know, I go, you know what a band I really like? I go, I really love Koreans Clearwater Revival. I love them. And then because I was telling him, because I even said it to him, I said, my I finally learned my favorite band of of all time.

SPEAKER_04 16:00

Yeah, get ready for this, David. It's super groundbreaking.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

Everybody thinks, everybody thinks it's the Beatles. Yeah, because you talk about them every episode. My favorite band of all time, I really thought about it. You're never this is gonna be crazy, David. It's gonna blow your mind. You thought it was you said you never.

SPEAKER_04 16:14

No, like it's it's a deep cut.

SPEAKER_01 16:17

Okay. So I I can listen to every one of their songs. Or I can listen to everything and love it.

SPEAKER_04 16:23

It's it's nuts. You're never gonna believe it.

SPEAKER_01 16:24

Shut the fuck up. Led Zeppelin.

SPEAKER_04 16:26

Isn't that fucking crazy?

SPEAKER_01 16:27

Led Zeppelin is. Led Zeppelin? Mike, you were the one who said Really underground.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

Really underground bands.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

Led Zeppelin, I can listen to the the like the the technicality of their stuff. They're not gonna be able to get it. Oh, shut up, Steven. I can Led Zeppelin.

SPEAKER_03 16:43

Listen, I'm with you. Just don't start getting down that path because I'm gonna start poking at you. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_01 16:48

I'm saying Zeppelin, without a doubt, top notch, but you guys are so boring! So into fucking CCR, it's not even funny.

SPEAKER_03 16:56

Oh, dude, no, so so what you're doing. Okay, what you just said is is CCR for me. Yeah. When I'm just like chilling, vibing, shit like that, press play on C.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

That's great. I want to know if you've ever seen The Rain. But right now, we're talking about yuck.

SPEAKER_03 17:11

I love that song.

SPEAKER_05 17:12

I love that song.

SPEAKER_03 17:12

You heard their um their rendition of uh Put a Spell on You? Oh my god. Yes, dude. What about uh Proud Mary? Oh, hell yeah. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:21

Dude, listen, you guys, listen. You guys are my fortunate songs. You guys are my fortunate sons. Okay?

SPEAKER_00 17:26

You guys are my fortunate sons.

SPEAKER_03 17:28

But right now, you are literally listing the top two songs. Me and Steven are kind of deep cutting on CCR right now. And you're just because I'm deep in the fucking trenches, David. Deeping up one of them for this. You know what? That's it. One of us wins, we're giving a fucking CCR outfit. That's not a fucking give me cosmic factory. You think I give a shit? I'm fucking listening to the like. You're getting the fucking live Woodstock. Oh yeah. No one's gonna do it. You think that's fucking punishment, David? What? No, it's not the punishment. You punish us. We're trying to give you good music. We haven't even talked about the supplemental money yet. What? Wait, good! People barely know what it is. Listen, if they clicked on it, they know what it is.

SPEAKER_01 18:05

And they'll also know what to listen to now.

SPEAKER_03 18:09

Greedance to the clear water revival. Never really. No, not the live note. Not a connection. Love the hell out of it. So, David, so general thoughts other than somehow clear greetings, clear water revolting. Because I've just genuinely like the other day I realized I was like thinking to myself, like, dude, what bands do I listen to like non-stop to chill out to and to chill out to, and it's credence. I listen to Credence or Zeppelin. Zeppelin is what I put on like Do you listen to Almond Brothers at all? Almond Brothers? Almond Brothers? What did I say? You said Almond. The Almond Brothers. No D. Sorry, sorry, Salmond. Oh, I thought you meant the nut, like Almond. Yeah, no, no, no. No, no, no. I wasn't saying Almond, I said Almond. I do listen to some of them.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

I haven't deep dove into them, but I have I do listen to that.

SPEAKER_03 18:57

That's awesome. But so wait. Back on listen. Back on track for that right now. Yeah, back on track for how about for the podcast? Yeah, yeah, for that too. Yeah, all right, cool, cool. I was listening to Johnny Cash the other day, too. Yeah, Johnny Cash. I was digging into his. I hate country, but I like Johnny Cash. His newer shit was actually good. When he started getting dark and shit, after he found God, dude, that shit, dude, when he got his connection back to God, his music got crazy. It was good.

SPEAKER_01 19:23

So I hate country, but I do love like old school blues folk, like fucking Stevie Ray Vaughan. Yeah. Like Ray Charles? Good shit. Ray Charles is fucking dope.

SPEAKER_03 19:32

Yeah. I do like Ray Charles. I like I like Steve. I like that blue. Like that got left that gospally. Yeah. I always like gospely shit.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

SPEAKER_01 19:58

Randomly. Randomly. Boring. I started show I what got me into this one, which this one's way out of left field. What got me into this one was watching old clips of um Oh my god, why did I just forget his name? Holy shit.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

Again, I'm I was every time one of the songs came on, I'm gonna be 100% honest with you. Every time one of the songs came on, I listened. I went, This isn't bad. I like this. This is good. I like the structure. I like the music. I like, you know, it was good. I could not get over it, and I don't know. I listened to it on Spotify, so I have no idea. I could not fucking hear this guy. It was I know sometimes like you saying that they recorded it in a bedroom makes perfect sense because I can remember. Whenever we like we did recording in the past, whatever, like people always tend to put the vocal track more mid-tone, and the music kind of like always seems to envelope it. And I remember saying like yeah, but the vocals gotta go up, the vocals gotta go up. And people used to say to me, No, no, they don't, they don't. And even when you go to like a live show, I felt like I was listening to a live show.

SPEAKER_03 22:25

When you go to a live show, you're like, I can't fucking hear him. Can you hear him? Like you you have like the the the music tracks are always higher than the vocal tracks.

SPEAKER_01 22:35

Yeah, the vocals are never in the forefront, which I'm not saying they need to be louder than everything, but I genuinely couldn't tell you, other than the chorus, I couldn't tell you what this guy was saying half the time because it was so low.

SPEAKER_03 22:49

So how did you how did you feel about the more like because I feel like there was like like I said, like a real like 90s connection. Like, so for example, like the third song shook down. Like, I immediately started thinking about like like soul asylums, like runaway training like that kind of feel. So, like when it was more mellow, it was better because they didn't put that shitty filter on. So you don't like so so do you not like fuzz? Like like a fuzz guitar, like very fuzzy sound, like I don't like lo-fi.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

Because that's not uncommon. Well, first of all, that for the vocals, it's okay, but a lot of times when you hear it with a vocal with vocals, it's either for part of a track, yeah, or one or two tracks on the album. This was like most of the fucking album, and it was the whole song every time, and couple that with the fact that it was soft, I couldn't understand or hear half the shit that was going on. And I was like, the guy has a good voice, I like the music, I like the hooks in the songs, but I cannot fucking get past. Like, I I can't find myself ever going back to one of these songs to listen to them again out of enjoyment because if it would had regular vocals and they were at the right volume, I would have actually. I think it's become pretty.

SPEAKER_03 24:03

To back Steven up really quickly, yeah. I agree it all kind of was at the same level. So it was hard to really get involved, like the the production value is off.

SPEAKER_04 24:15

Well, I think it's become very clear that specifically for you is that lyrical and vocal prominence is very important.

SPEAKER_01 24:25

Well, I mean, I feel like like unless you're listening to a a jam band or like an like for example, if you're going into something as a jam band, okay, yes, like if you think of, and I'm sorry, I know you're gonna get pissed for me saying it, but if you think of like Led Zeppelin or the Beatles, no, no, no. If you think of Led Zeppelin, if you would see if you see a Led Zeppelin concert, they would start playing a song. Nine times out of ten, Robert Plant wasn't even singing the lyrics to the song. Yeah, he was just singing random shit and yelling things, and then like would once in a while go into the chorus, but they just jammed for like four hours straight. If you know you're going to see a jam band, that's fine. When you're starting an album with a band you don't know, if they're predominantly instrumental, and it's just a few minutes.

SPEAKER_03 25:15

But they're not predominantly instrumental.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

What I'm saying is, wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_05 25:18

Can I go back to the the the the the fucking Led Zeppelin thing? That's kind of what they did back then because the entire crowd was on fucking LSD. Yes, but what I'm saying is like that. This did you ever see the jam band? Did you ever see the video of fucking um oh shit? Um uh the doors. Jim Morrison. Jim Morrison fucking um like in the middle of um Light My Fire, he did a concert, Light My Fire, and he's on stage, and you know how Light My Fire went could go for like five minutes. Seven minutes, it was going for like 20 minutes, right? He literally started roaming off stage and climbing under the stage and like playing with the mic chord and shit like that. Yeah. Like so they were like, Alright, he's done.

SPEAKER_01 26:03

Like, but but again, if you know that a band is like a jam band and it's gonna be like this, you know, instrumental thing, fine, then lyrics don't matter. You don't give a shit what they're saying, you don't give a shit what the colour is. But why are you so here's a way so of regular standard bands?

SPEAKER_03 26:19

But wait a second, hold on. I feel like you're always trying to fit bands into a mold of a certain like every band needs to be this, and if they're outside of that spectrum, then they're weird. You're missing what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_01 26:34

You just asked me if lyrics and and singing is like is an important part of the.

SPEAKER_04 26:38

I didn't ask you, I told you.

SPEAKER_01 26:39

Well, yes, but what I'm saying is it depends on the situation. So if you have a band like Well, I get what you're saying. If you have a band like Rage, Rage Against the Machine. Okay, no, listen, just keeps repeating the same things, does filters on the voice of the body. I know in a standard band like they are, Stefan, it matters.

SPEAKER_03 26:57

I get it. But they're not that type of band. They are a shoe-gaze band. Why have lyrics if you're not gonna hear them?

SPEAKER_01 27:04

Why have a singer if they're not gonna actually not put a filter on their mind?

SPEAKER_04 27:08

So, all right, so hold on. Question. David. Stephen. What did you think the song Getaway was about?

SPEAKER_01 27:19

I don't know. All right, David. Because I didn't read the lyrics. Listen, listen, I'll be honest with you. I didn't read along with the lyrics. Okay. I just listened to the album. Or else I don't even know what the fuck it was about. Okay. I know get out. That's it. No, what? Like, I I I don't know what he's saying.

SPEAKER_03 27:34

Do you know? I have no idea. The song is actually about battling depression. Okay. But I shouldn't have to read the city. But I shouldn't have to read along with the lyrics.

SPEAKER_00 27:44

But so you so you didn't hear, so when you couldn't hear not even the pain kicks in, tell me when the pain kicks in. Maybe. Well I think you're a liar.

SPEAKER_01 27:56

I c I I'm not kidding. I genuinely barely heard lyrics.

SPEAKER_00 28:00

So what when were you how were you listening to the song?

SPEAKER_01 28:03

I was listening to it in the car. I was driving. I was listening to the album. Yes. And I literally found myself raising the volume, going, what the fuck is he saying?

SPEAKER_03 28:11

But did you like enjoy the music?

SPEAKER_01 28:13

I did. Okay. That's what I'm saying. That's the only thing that killed it for me. Is I bet like you know, it like I'm not saying that the lyrics were the lyrics that I did heard here, good. But his voice when I heard it, good. But the problem is, is if they did it at a normal level, it would have been much like I might I would probably love the song Get Out. Get away. What? Get away. Whatever. I would probably love it, but I can't because I barely heard it.

SPEAKER_00 28:44

David, how did you feel about the lyrics? Could you understand them?

SPEAKER_05 28:48

Yeah, I don't know. I I get where Steven's coming from, where it was like the levels were all pretty much equal, so it was kind of hard to really understand him. Um but in the same sense, um, I thought they were pretty standard for like I could understand them. I mean, I'm not I'm not like moved by them. I like it a lot more than I like it a lot more than other albums we listened to because the vocals were something I could actually get behind versus versus the other weird inflection type singing we've heard before.

SPEAKER_03 29:26

So you would you would say this was a more enjoyable listen.

SPEAKER_05 29:29

So, all right, perfect example, like when we're listening to another album, right? And the music starts going, and like I've given you a review where I'm like, dude, I was really behind it until I heard the vocals, right? I was really behind it.

SPEAKER_03 29:42

Vocal started, and I was like, oh, okay, I can get behind this. Okay. So it didn't enhance your experience, but it didn't make it worse.

SPEAKER_05 29:51

No, I kind of came at it kind like the thing about it is that I'm kind of jaded when it comes to lyrics right now.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 29:57

Like, because when it comes to lyrics, I I kind of just expect everybody to put out some kind of a very deep, meaningful, maybe cryptic type lyrics. Like that's and I expect it not in just in general.

SPEAKER_00 30:14

So did so did you not so it's it sounds like you didn't really get to hear or like read along with the lyrics or anything like that, but like one thing that I really love about this album too is that I never really got the feeling either that they were like cryptic or deep, but they were just extremely like personal and simplistic.

SPEAKER_05 30:31

No, you can actually I once you kind of isolate the I think Steven's speakers need to be adjusted in his car.

SPEAKER_03 30:38

But like once you kind of like I've never had a problem with literally. No, but I in the same sense, like I said, I get it too. Um, but no, when this is when when we finish recording, because I'm not gonna play it obviously while we're recording, but like when we finish recording, I I don't think you I'm gonna play it so you guys can see what the fuck I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_01 30:59

No, no, no. I know what you're talking about. I feel like I'm going insane because to you, it's like you're like it's the clearest thing ever. Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 31:05

No, no, no, it's not the clearest thing ever. It's just it's shoe gaze, it's lo-fi. Like that's so like I expect that it's not Ed Jean. But it's just a matter of like raise it up a bit. Like that's it.

SPEAKER_00 31:16

But that but that's kind of with shoe gaze.

SPEAKER_03 31:19

I think that's the goal.

SPEAKER_00 31:19

But with shoe gaze, it kind of all is.

SPEAKER_03 31:22

I got listen, I level I can get behind it where I didn't have to sit there and have it wait, why are you raising your hands? We need to pause for a second.

SPEAKER_00 31:33

No, we don't.

SPEAKER_01 31:34

Yes, we do. No, we need to pause for a second because the one good thing is Michael hasn't given any really input on this album. We haven't given R what we think Michael's gonna rate it before he starts talking about it. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's right. We're doing all that.

SPEAKER_04 31:48

So let's hold on, real quick. Let's get that up. Let me get that up. Alright. Um David. Hey. What do you think I rated this album? Don't say it. Remember, it's a secret. Because the winner at the end is going to be the winner that gets to choose the album that I listen to is not based on the trivia. It's based on, as we said, whoever's closest to the um cumulatively to the scores that I give.

SPEAKER_00 32:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 32:16

Stephen? For everybody's reference, I put up fingers. David. Oh, okay. I put up fingers.

SPEAKER_03 32:24

I was like, Steven can hear you. Okay. All right. So, real quick, all right. Sorry, I just had to pause for that reason.

SPEAKER_02 32:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 32:34

Did you show? All right, cool.

SPEAKER_05 32:35

So back to what I was saying. What I was saying was that I felt with this, where I didn't have to sit there, read the lyrics, and then try to also decipher what they were trying to say. It wasn't like a, you know, my milk is in the top drawer.

SPEAKER_03 32:51

Like, what does that fucking mean? What are we doing? Yeah, but I also feel the like I feel like don't look no look at me. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 32:59

I know what he's saying because like you, you, you're listening to it going, what? And you have to literally read it back and go, what was he trying to say? I have the opposite feeling here, where it's like, okay, I feel like I need to read the lyrics to know what he's saying because I couldn't hear it.

SPEAKER_03 33:12

So like yours was more of a I can't hear. I don't know what you're saying. I got like seven words every time. I had it in my earbuds so I could hear it, and I was able to actually hear what he was saying. It was sung well, like, so I didn't have the same like Were you able to gather the sentiment or emotion of the song without really being having to read the lyrics? Well, Professor, I think that um Yes, Doctor. You've literally he sat there, put his like leg over. They've been over the leg's been crossed. No, no, but you like settled yourself for like a freaking like question. Like, no, I um yes. Well, Steven's distracted. It's the only time I can have like calm conversation.

SPEAKER_05 33:56

I was able to get a feeling through the song without having to sit there and read along with it and like everything like so. I got like through all the songs, I was like, okay, yes, obviously this song is sad, obviously this song is more upbeat.

SPEAKER_03 34:12

Obviously, yeah, I was definitely getting up to it. But I wasn't, I'm gonna tell you right, for free.

SPEAKER_05 34:17

This didn't grab me, like it's kind of weird where I enjoyed it for this for the sense that the vocals were better and the sound sounded right to me, like it hit my the right spots. Yeah, I'm not gonna like go back to it, and also it didn't hit me that hard.

SPEAKER_00 34:35

Would you say this has been a pretty consistent complaint from both of you for the past four albums is that every song blends together.

SPEAKER_04 34:44

Would you make that same argument with this album? Yes.

SPEAKER_03 34:46

You would so you felt like track one to six, you couldn't tell the difference. Uh no, I actually don't.

unknown 34:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 34:53

I feel like one yeah, maybe, maybe like no, no, no, because here's the thing.

SPEAKER_05 34:58

Way the old yes, the only time I knew it changed up really is when the like the tempo and the No, is when the female kicked in.

SPEAKER_04 35:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 35:06

And I was like, oh, this is a new song. Well, the other thing that I hated was like with the whole with the female vocals recently.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

What's her name?

SPEAKER_03 35:14

I shouldn't be calling her the female.

SPEAKER_04 35:16

Her name is uh Meriko Doi. She is from Japan. All right, I'm gonna call her female. Seriously.

SPEAKER_03 35:24

I was gonna be cool and be like Meriko.

SPEAKER_04 35:26

I I believe so. I might be mispronouncing that.

SPEAKER_03 35:28

You're not even gonna give me the right pronunciation. I might be mispronouncing, but it's M-A-R-I-K-O.

SPEAKER_04 35:34

Mariko. That is like the most freaking I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 35:36

Anyway, my my thing is is when the when the female voice came in, I was like, she's louder than him.

SPEAKER_04 35:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:43

Her voice was actually like the backup track was like louder than him. And I'm like, what the fuck is happening? So my thing is is I don't think that it felt like one long run-on song like like typical.

SPEAKER_02 35:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:55

The songs were repetitive, and from like you could literally Mariko.

SPEAKER_03 36:01

Marico? Marico Marico. So so you could literally listen to the first 30 seconds.

SPEAKER_05 36:07

Often translating to true village or real village. Okay, cool. So it's actually very pretty.

SPEAKER_03 36:11

Shut up! So the first so the first Stop being culturally sensitive, David. I have a point to make.

SPEAKER_01 36:19

You so so I don't feel like each song blended together, but what I do feel like is with every one of the songs, yes, you could literally listen to the first 30 seconds of each song and you heard the whole song. That's it. And you wouldn't you wouldn't miss anything.

SPEAKER_03 36:33

Even the later tracks? No, well, there was a couple.

SPEAKER_05 36:37

Alright, I'm gonna make I'm gonna make a confession here. Through the last song. So the last song It's like a seven-minute song, it's like a seven-minute song through the last song. I was listening to it, and I get to like five minutes, and I was like, alright, we get it.

SPEAKER_03 36:49

Yeah, then I shut it off.

SPEAKER_01 36:51

I I'm not gonna lie, I did that, I did that with a couple of songs. No, but when there was like like I did it with a couple of songs where I was like, okay, this isn't changing up much. Next song. Okay. Like I so that's the only thing. The songs I don't feel like were run on, like, but each individual song was the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 37:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 37:08

Hey, wait, their album cover for Hold Me Closer.

SPEAKER_04 37:11

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 37:12

It just says fuck, or does it say puck?

SPEAKER_04 37:15

Probably puck.

SPEAKER_05 37:16

No, it's uh hold on.

SPEAKER_02 37:17

Let me see. Come look at it. Come look at it. I think that says fuck. I think that says fuck. Does that say fuck?

SPEAKER_01 37:26

I mean, it's somebody being eaten by a shark, so I'm assuming it's a it's fuck. I think it's yuck. It says yuck, dumbass.

SPEAKER_04 37:33

Yeah, that would make the most sense.

SPEAKER_03 37:34

What the ass? Does that not look like fuck? Yeah, that would that would make the most sense. Oh wow. Don't be a dumbass. You walked over here and came on the rhyme. It was talking to me too. I'm saying we're both dumbass. Okay, all right, cool. It was literally like, what the fuck? Like no, it it suspiciously looks like fucking. It does. Can I say something interesting though here? So the song Rubber, which is like one of the last tracks. Yeah, I fucking hated it. That was their lead single off this album. It sucks. A lot of repetition and a lot of fucking like that's when it took the nosedive.

SPEAKER_00 38:11

No, no, but that's when it took the nosedive for like full hipster, like Getaway is is by far their most popular song off this album.

SPEAKER_05 38:19

This is the first one. I don't know if anybody listens to. But that was like their fourth single off this album. Yeah, but dude, there really wasn't. Once again, there's a lot of the same sounding songs. So maybe those were the songs that stood out.

SPEAKER_03 38:31

How do you feel? Do you guys remember or recall Operation? Um, the game? Uh we could talk about that after, but I was thinking more the song. The game always pissed me off because I always fucked it up.

SPEAKER_05 38:43

I didn't have steady enough hands. Okay. How about the song? Huh? There's probably a lot of songs named Operation, to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_04 38:50

Well, this one.

SPEAKER_03 38:51

This by Yuck. Yeah, by the one the album we're reviewing. Right. Do you think the song's about the game operation? Most likely. Steven, how do you feel about Operation?

SPEAKER_01 38:59

Um I love the instruction game. I like the themed Operation games better.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

Oh, like if they got like a Pokemon one or a Mario one. We got a new Spongebob one. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, no, that's pretty that that's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_05 39:11

I like that. I always thought the game kind of lacked a lot of depth. Yeah. Because it was like, oh hey, I got it out now, what do I do?

SPEAKER_02 39:17

And then there's always the risk of electrocution, which is fun.

SPEAKER_05 39:20

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:21

I always love, dude, the best thing is, is when you see those, like, um, like those videos, like top ten like bad toys they sold the kids. I know, I want them so bad. Did you ever see the the one that they had in like the 1940s or something like that, where it was a uranium test kit? Yeah, yeah, and you actually legit and it came with like a little mail voucher. That sounds dangerous. You would send in and they'd send you an actual piece of uranium. Oh, that's so that you could test and shit. It was when it was when we were just starting to figure out nuclear shit, yeah, and we had no clue that it was bad for you. That's great. And we were like, yo, this is the future. Let's like kids play with it.

SPEAKER_01 39:59

There's a game from the 80s that I really want. It was um it it it it's like a Dracula game, and it's basically a like it's got like a vampire, and it's called Ivant, V-A-N-T, Ivant to Bite Your Finger, and it was literally a thing that you like put your finger in the vampire's mouth, and like you like you did something, and and basically the whole goal was like you hit something so that to see if it would bite you. And oh, so like one of the games, like a board game chomped down on your finger, and like it had ink in the fang, so it left little indents on your finger with like red ink, and it's but it actually would like bite your finger.

SPEAKER_03 40:39

And I was like, I want that. And you know I like my horror shit. It's like $200 a few years. What year base was that? What? What year was that? Like what day? 80s, man. 80s, they really had to like use their minds. Oh yeah. Like they really thought of it. It's dope though. No, but like, you know how now like everything's done by like computers or like whatever.

SPEAKER_01 40:58

Well, the games are all the same. If you get like like the fucking the This is off the rails. What like the what this is what the theme, the fucking classic all cards against the cards.

SPEAKER_03 41:07

Classic post-podcast. I'm talking about somebody back then had to literally take that like that vampiring thing. Yes. They had to mold it in some resin or something, yeah, right? And then they had the plastic shed that they made into the game. That's awesome. Like people like really dove into it. Now everything's just like easy program shit. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 41:29

So we should, yeah, we should talk about that after.

SPEAKER_03 41:30

So I hope, listen, do you know what I hope seriously? Yes. I hope this is our highest freaking like listen to then I will episode that's fine. And then from now on, all we do is just bullshit about random shit.

SPEAKER_04 41:43

Well, Steven, stop wafting. My god, you're disgusting. Anyway, okay. So, anyway.

SPEAKER_03 41:50

Um, yeah. Any other thoughts on the album? Nope. Alright, David. I mean, it was definitely an album. I mean, I I would say that music has happened here.

SPEAKER_04 42:00

Yes, it has.

SPEAKER_05 42:01

Um, it whether it was good or not, I can't really tell you because I was a little busy um doing other things. I pulled a Steven and uh was doing background music.

SPEAKER_04 42:11

That's good. I'm really, really enjoying your investment.

SPEAKER_03 42:13

I gave it my full attention, but it just didn't help. Hey, listen, we just switched roles for friggin' one week, alright? Calm down.

SPEAKER_04 42:19

Okay, David.

SPEAKER_03 42:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 42:23

What about it? So let's talk a little bit about critical reception.

SPEAKER_00 42:30

The way that this album was received. Now, oh wait. Before we do that, can that not come up right?

SPEAKER_05 42:34

Yeah, it did. We got it.

SPEAKER_00 42:35

Can I ask you a quick can I ask you a quick question?

SPEAKER_05 42:38

What about it?

SPEAKER_00 42:39

If you didn't know when this album was released, what time frame would you say that it was dropped exactly? 2011.

SPEAKER_03 42:48

Really? Because you would say 90s. I like late 90s. Okay. I wouldn't have because it it maybe 2000.

SPEAKER_01 42:58

It to me, it literally sounded like that early 2010s, like, hey, let's go backwards thing. Like you, like, it like it was it was one of those like Oh, like they actually tried to sound that way?

SPEAKER_03 43:12

Yes, a hundred percent. I I knew immediately that it was not an old album. Okay. Uh no, I no, I got the feeling from I think they did a good job. I don't like to so I what I don't like, I don't like to look at the album's like actual year. Oh shit, sorry. Um I don't like to look at the actual like album's year and all that other stuff until after I've like. No, I don't at all. Because I want to be like, huh, this sounds like it's from the so-and-so or something like that. So I try to get like a raw feel from it. I don't care. And um yeah, it definitely felt like heavy nineties.

SPEAKER_05 43:43

And then when I started looking at their other albums, I was like 2017. Oh yeah, they're still making music, and I'm like, oh shit, this is actually they're not still making music though.

SPEAKER_04 43:51

No, they're so after the first album, Daniel Bloomberg, who's like the lead singer, um, he left. And believe it or not, um, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 44:00

But believe it or not, you literally don't look at the state. There's not much information as to why I left, but do you but believe it or not?

SPEAKER_03 44:05

Well, he left to pursue a solo career. Oh, that always works out in fucking artists. Yeah, especially when you did it.

SPEAKER_02 44:11

Keep talking, Steve. Especially when you like don't. No, Michael, go look on his page and he like became like a fucking.

SPEAKER_00 44:17

He's won multiple awards. He went on to score multiple movies, one being The Brutalist.

SPEAKER_04 44:25

I don't know what that is. Oh, it's a Oh! It's a it don't be a dick steel. It's a very popular movie. Is it really? Yes, and he went on to go.

SPEAKER_03 44:33

From when? Uh the like 20, late 2010s, like early 2012s.

SPEAKER_04 44:37

David's gonna look it up. He he went on to score the brutalist, and he's been doing like movie scores. Um he's been won like multiple awards for his movie scores. Um he's extremely successful.

SPEAKER_03 44:50

Oh that's not Oh no, yeah, no, I see.

SPEAKER_05 44:54

I see this as like Yeah, but that's not like like doing a movie score is that's not like this is this is one of those movies that they throw an uncomfortable amount of money at. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's it's got like Adrian Brody in it. Yeah, it's got like a. Oh, right there I wouldn't say it.

SPEAKER_03 45:10

It's like it's one of those things. Anything with Adrian Brody, I feel has got like stupid money involved. You guys have odd fucking things that you stick to.

SPEAKER_00 45:22

Daniel Bloomberg.

SPEAKER_05 45:24

Daniel Widda you. Yeah, I don't really care. I'm just gonna search it. Or Bloomberg. God fucking damn. Is he bald? Yes. Alright, cool. That's what he shows up as.

SPEAKER_02 45:38

That's what he shows up as.

SPEAKER_05 45:40

You know what already upsets me about him? He's not he's not bald by fucking um genetics, he's bald by choice. He's bald by genetics?

SPEAKER_03 45:51

No, he's got that bald by choice head. He's probably what is a bald by choice head? Like he's blue, but just doesn't try and hold on to you. I feel like if nature makes you bald, they give you a decent shaped head. Yeah. Um what? You guys have uh You guys have weird.

SPEAKER_01 46:10

You guys have weird things that you live life by. Speaking of which weird convictions. Speaking of which, Mike, we gotta we should talk about what we're doing up there for you.

SPEAKER_02 46:20

It might be time.

SPEAKER_04 46:21

Alright, see if you you keep that wave of stuff.

SPEAKER_05 46:23

Yeah, but like, dude, he won those. The BAFTA award for best original music and the Academy Award for Best Original Score.

SPEAKER_04 46:33

Yeah, Academy Award. That's that's like an Oscar.

SPEAKER_05 46:35

SPEAKER_03 46:40

For the movie.

SPEAKER_05 46:41

SPEAKER_00 46:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 46:44

Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_03 46:49

I'm looking! Whoa, what is your conviction right now? I'm just trying to look into it. Okay. I'm I'm is that okay with you? I've told you what's happening, David. Academy Award for best score on what though? You just said I said five times! Yeah, but I I don't believe you. Why? Why don't you believe me? No, no, no, but you don't understand. I just don't know. No, but you don't get it. I hate you.

SPEAKER_05 47:18

Oh my god, I'm about to do I really have to.

SPEAKER_03 47:21

It's not that big of a deal, David. I'm curious! Okay, be curious later. Keep talking! Who gives a fuck what I do? Well, I do, David.

SPEAKER_00 47:31

Alright, well you mean a lot to me.

SPEAKER_05 47:34

Alright, well that just got weird.

SPEAKER_00 47:36

I can see the reflection in your glasses, David. You're clearly looking at pornography.

SPEAKER_05 47:40

What? No, it's we're not supposed to be doing that? It's not pornography. It's just it's research.

SPEAKER_00 47:48

So do we want to talk about how this album is received? Yeah. Before we do, what do you guys how do you guys think it was received?

SPEAKER_05 47:54

Why does it leave a line?

SPEAKER_01 47:57

This is one of those albums where I I actually don't think, for the first time, I don't think that they like overdid it. Like I I don't think they were like giving it nine out of ten and this and that.

SPEAKER_03 48:11

I actually feel like because it's not bad, it's gonna be very middle of the road.

SPEAKER_00 48:18

Well, here's the funny thing. This album is not really critically.

SPEAKER_03 48:22

Oh, Mike, it was for the Brutulists.

SPEAKER_00 48:24

Thank you, David. Cool. Appreciate that information. I had no idea.

SPEAKER_05 48:27

Recognizing his Avantgrade score that.

SPEAKER_00 48:30

Avangar, David, avant-garde.

SPEAKER_05 48:32

Oh, sorry. I skimmed.

SPEAKER_03 48:34

I was quick. I super skimmed that word. Holy shit. Avantgarde. Avante grade! Avante! Avante grade!

SPEAKER_05 48:45

Uh Ariana Grande. Score the features piano, saxophone, and brass. Widely praised for the biggest. Stop touching your fingers like that. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 48:56

I'm giving you a like a velvety feel. I don't need it. I know what happened. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 49:01

I feel like it I don't like the fact that he's bald.

SPEAKER_03 49:05

Alright. So he's got like the it's like I look at him! Come here, Steven. Come here. Oh my god. By the way, you like Adrian Brody? I don't know any. Alright, so then why are you making it seem like I have an aversion against him? I was just-Cause you made it pretty clear. You're like, oh right there, I wouldn't see it.

SPEAKER_01 49:20

Well, it's like Adrian Brody being in a movie is. Steven, come here! He's an actor! Where else would he be? But him being in a movie is like when you have like Jason Statham in a movie, you just know what the movie's gonna be already. He's just gonna be sitting there crying and being very mean and standing up. I mean, he's no reason.

SPEAKER_03 49:38

What? What? Oh my god. Right? He looks like he'd be really good at playing like somebody who kills people in A. I mean, playing or actually doing it. Well, well, in a movie, I would say, so it's not offensive. But do you get what I'm saying? That he's he doesn't look like normal bald. It looks like he like shaves every hair that's on his body everywhere. Maybe it's got a big thing. I don't think he has eyebrows. It's weird. Maybe it's because his head's too white. I mean, I don't I just don't see any hair. Does he even have eyelashes? No, no, he's got him. He's got very perfectly manicured eyelashes. So anyway, he's got eyebrows? Oh, he might not have eyelashes. He has eyelashes. It just looks like you don't look good. No. Let me see. Why are we judging eyelashes? I'm gonna zoom in and see what kind of eyelashes we got here. Why? Oh, he's got eyelashes.

SPEAKER_05 50:33

Of course he has eyelashes. He's got two earrings and one ear, too. What does that have to do with anything?

SPEAKER_01 50:40

Actually, the veins in his head is very like Oh, that's what he reminds me of.

SPEAKER_03 50:46

Very mini-me from Dr. Evil! Doctor Evil! That's what it is. Oh, that's why it's throwing me off. It looks like a skull cap. Is that a hair sticking out of his ear? I don't know. How far are you zoomed? What is happening right now? No! I don't need to. That kind of almost looks like a cat hair stuck, like stuck in his ear. It's on the back of his ear. David, we have to take away and provoke your internet access. You wanted me to record it so I can sit at the command center and do it. Anyway, anyway. So here's the thing about this album. Look him up, Alter Evil. Daniel Bloomberg. So this album is not. Daniel, if you're listening, I'm sorry. Perfect mage. I'm not really though.

SPEAKER_04 51:30

Perfect.

SPEAKER_00 51:31

So this album is not well known. Like, this is not an album that people are like, oh yeah, I've heard of that. It's not like a radio head. It's not a death grips. It's it's really the this album is very unknown. In fact, I recommend this album to everybody that I know likes this type of music. And every single time I've recommended Daniel Bloomberg. Is he? Yeah.

unknown 51:52

Good voice.

SPEAKER_03 51:53

Every single and Max Bloomberg. It reminds me a lot of Dr. Evil when he sings that song with Minimi. Max Bloom too. Max Bloom also sings. He also sings. In fact, that's great.

SPEAKER_00 52:03

When Daniel Bloomberg left, Max Bloom took over the singing.

SPEAKER_03 52:05

Oh, that's great. Are they related? No. So what they weren't just like, hey, you take the berg and I'll just cut it off and I'll names were Scott rejected me. They la V.

SPEAKER_05 52:16

No, no. The other one, the one. Oh, what was it?

SPEAKER_03 52:18

Just the two of us?

SPEAKER_05 52:19

No, no, no, no. Is it just the two of us? No, no, no. The other, um, uh, what if God was one of us?

SPEAKER_03 52:29

Yeah, dude. I wrote that, yeah? So yeah, so I recommend this album a lot. You should. Because and when I do, people We've decided to just do this now. That's great. So people don't know this album. Like when I recommend that people have no idea, people who have a like an extensive knowledge of music. That's shocking. Yeah. It should be though, because every album that we've listened to has been very known. Like death grips and yeah, but I feel like some of them are kind of like very known by a certain certain no, no, but not like normal people. But what I'm gonna mean. I mean like everyone. Not like humans.

SPEAKER_01 53:09

No, like I mean like, you know, like you bring up like if you're in a group of people, yes, and you're just you bring up an album or a band or something, people are gonna know, but then you bring up other like you know what I'm trying to say.

SPEAKER_03 53:21

No, you didn't say any words there.

SPEAKER_01 53:23

No, you're I'm saying that conversation knows what any of it is.

SPEAKER_00 53:28

David, shut up! So if Steven listen.

SPEAKER_03 53:32

Blah blah blee. I wrote that, yeah. If people know like hipster indie music, right?

SPEAKER_00 53:40

And I say MacDamarco, they know who Mac DeMarco is.

SPEAKER_03 53:47

So in that circle, they don't know who Yuck is. That's what I'm saying. Right, because they're the goofing up their own ass to know who the fuck Yuck is. No, opposite. What? No, they don't know. No. If these guys are on the normal radar, they're not on the normal radar.

SPEAKER_00 54:03

That's the problem. That's what I'm trying to tell you.

SPEAKER_03 54:05

In some weird middle ground where they're not on rate, they're not radio good, and they're also not weird hipster good. They're in the middle. They're the hipsters of the hipsters. I recommend them to everybody. You should. That's good. Okay. You should. So I would recommend Oh shit. How do you fucking say your name again? Daniel Bloomberg. No, not his, hers. Was it Makita? No, no, not Makita. That's a fucking grill.

SPEAKER_01 54:30

Oh, Americo.

SPEAKER_03 54:31

No, no, but did you say it right though? Yes, I think so. No, Mariko. Thank you. Hey, he got it. Oh, Steven got it. Who's a fucking racist now, Michael? Yeah. So anyway.

SPEAKER_01 54:44

You fucking dick.

SPEAKER_03 54:46

Yeah. So let's talk about critical. Let's talk about critical. Okay. Yeah, we should do that. So, Met Critic gave it 81 out of 100. Really? Is that like really good or low? I'm surprised. Okay. I'm surprised they actually went that high. No, I'm thinking no, I'm thinking watch. I'm gonna tell you, middle ground all the way.

SPEAKER_00 55:03

All music gave it four out of five stars. Really? The AV Club gave it a B.

SPEAKER_05 55:09

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 55:10

The Guardian, four out of five stars.

SPEAKER_03 55:12

The Independent, four out of five stars. I didn't think anybody would go this high. Mojo, four out of five stars. I consider this middle ground. And I do too, but why is it- I didn't think it would go that high. Because the album hit middle.

SPEAKER_04 55:23

Enemy, David's enemy. Don't, don't.

SPEAKER_03 55:26

I'm gonna make sure. Gave it an eight out of ten.

unknown 55:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:30

Pitchfork, eight point one out of ten. That point one. Eight point one out of ten.

SPEAKER_03 55:35

And Rolling Stone gave it four out of five stars. Really? So dude, I now I'm more convinced that all of these people.

SPEAKER_05 55:44

There's probably two people that sit in a room, make all the decisions, and go, okay, now give it to Rolling Stones, give it to Enemy, give it to fucking everybody else.

SPEAKER_03 55:55

Because they all have they all fit the same. But my the thing that's so weird to me.

SPEAKER_01 56:00

This is the thing that is so absolutely astronomically bizarre to me to like the critical shit. That's not a big word.

SPEAKER_03 56:07

Good job. So it's better than adventar. Avant garde. It's better than advent calendar. Yeah, I was what was it?

SPEAKER_05 56:18

So here's the thing.

SPEAKER_03 56:19

Avant garde. You have the it's like kind of like off-kiltered art.

SPEAKER_05 56:23

Alright. I don't know words.

SPEAKER_03 56:25

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 56:25

So you have you have these platforms that are grading, like, they're not grading them in categories, they're grading them just in general. Yes. You can give something like this four out of five stars. Yes. Which means technically, if you really deep dove into like Rolling Stone gradings four out of five stars, you're potentially grading them to these albums the same as the big artist.

SPEAKER_03 56:52

Like fucking Arrow Smith. Beatles, Arosmith, Let's Zapplin. So but what I'm saying is TR. T R T R. But you're what are they rate?

SPEAKER_01 57:02

You're grading this to be equal to albums that bands like that.

SPEAKER_00 57:08

But I don't think it's how is that even pop? Because I don't think it's equal to those albums. I think it's like as this album as it is. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a dead serious question.

SPEAKER_01 57:21

Okay. I want you to think of uh Oh, I'm gonna throw up what?

SPEAKER_02 57:26

What did they give CTR? Alright, four? So four Um Rolling Stone magazine rank CTR as top greatest artist of all time.

SPEAKER_05 57:37

Yeah. Yeah. You ready for this? Out of a hundred, I think. Probably yeah. Uh yeah, okay. 82nd.

SPEAKER_04 57:47

Okay. That's pretty good. That's the 80s. 82nd grade.

SPEAKER_03 57:52

Okay, so something like this is probably ahead of that. Which is what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 57:56

My point is this. My point is this. Billy Isle. I want you to name I want you to think of. Alright. Seriously.

SPEAKER_04 58:03

I'm thinking.

SPEAKER_01 58:04

One of your favorite bands from the era that we were talking about. Like a Led Zeppelin, a C CR, uh, you know, whatever.

SPEAKER_04 58:11

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 58:13

Name what's a band that you love from that generation?

SPEAKER_03 58:17

Frank Zappa.

SPEAKER_01 58:19

Okay, no. I mean like a Frank Zappa. Like another one! Wait, like a normal artist. Yes, Frank Zappa is still like that underground hipster shit. Billy Eilish was not. I'm talking a bit like a big name, like like a Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith or this, like one of them.

SPEAKER_03 58:36

Uh that you actually genuinely enjoy and love. Um God. Joe Cocker.

SPEAKER_01 58:45

Okay, so Joe Cocker. Yeah. Wait, guys. So if Joe Cocker, or or I know you like Bob Dylan too. Like Joe Cocker, Bob Dylan, whatever. If you sat there and thought of an album of one of theirs that you just thought was legitimately one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time. Yes. And you found out that Rolling Stones gave it four out of five stars.

SPEAKER_04 59:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 59:12

But then you also found out that Rolling Stones gave this four out of five stars. That doesn't piss you off a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 59:18

No.

SPEAKER_01 59:18

Like it doesn't make you the the the production values less.

SPEAKER_03 59:24

The the you want to rating scales to be every music ever created, that's the scale. Guys, I can't. Well that's what they're grading on. No, you're thinking so. Cancel. What David?

SPEAKER_05 59:38

Can we cancel this and just go through the top hundred um artists of all time?

SPEAKER_04 59:41

God, though. Maybe we could do it in the list reveal.

SPEAKER_03 59:44

Can I can I go with like like by 20s? No. Just give me number one. That's all I need to know. Probably. Greatest artist of all time? Yeah. You guys want to guess? Um by who? Wrong songs. I mean, it's kind of hard.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:00

Does everybody want to guess along with us? It's Ked.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:02

It's called.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:03

Put your guesses in the comments.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:04

I would be hard. I would be hard. If I know the Rolling Stone, I would say it's definitely between. No, no, no, no. It's definitely between Beach Boys. All time. Beach Boys, Beatles, Marvin Gay, Prince, something like that.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:19

What are those?

SPEAKER_05 1:00:20

Michael said one of them.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:22

Did he? As number one?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:23

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:24

Is it Marvin Gay?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:26

Uh Marvin Gay. Marvin Gay is 18th. Oh. It's the Beatles. No. It is the Beatles Beatles. Is it the Beatles number one? I'm shocked at that. Real quick, you ready? Prince is going to be in the top five for them, though. Two, three, go.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:41

Beatles, Bob Dylan. This is one through a shit. One down. Beatles, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Little Richard, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Bob Marley, the Beach Boys, Buddy Holly, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cook, Muddy Waters, Marvin Gay, the Ultra, sorry, the Violet Underground, Bo Didley.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:04

Velvet, Velvet.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:05

I said what I said. Oh, it's Violet. My fault. Velvet Underground. My fault. My fault.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:09

I'm actually not speaking to the street.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:10

Bo Diddley, uh, Otis Redding, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Jerry's. Fat Domino. That's up to 25. So wait, wait, hold on, wait. Not bad.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:21

Wait, wait, wait. Where was Buddy Holly? Buddy Holly is number 13. 13. Too high. What Buddy Holly was. Who else was on there? There was somebody else that I thought was way too high. Um who's in the who's like a couple before that?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:35

Uh Rachels, Bob Marley, the Beach Boys. Let's up on CV Wonder, Sam Cook, Muddy Waters, Marvin Gay, Little Richard's on there, Chuck Barry.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:51

I'm not upset with any of that, to be honest. Little Richard should be higher. Little Richard should be higher.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:56

He was.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:58

Actually, no one's surprised on there.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:59

Alright, now I'll do now. I'll pick out ones that I know you guys are gonna freaking be like, ooh, Prince is number 27.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:05

Okay. I'm fine with that.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:06

The Clash is 28.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:08

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:08

29 is the Who. Okay. That's a little low for the Who. 30's Nirvana.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:14

31's Johnny Cash.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:15

But see, I don't like a band like Nirvana at number 30 and then having artists like Sam Cook at like 36.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:21

No, but they they kind of I kind of look at that almost like those guys are like the the the they paved the way. Well Nirvana also like carried a generation of music from like isn't 30 kind of a fair of course when you're when you're talking when you're talking grand scheme artists. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:38

So like my thing is this.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:39

Again, going back to what I was saying, when you're rating something a four out of five, Michael Jackson 35. 35, really.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:49

Madonna 36, uh Doors 41. Okay. Um Run DMC 48, Elton John 49.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:58

Run DMC made the list, though.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:00

Yeah, hell yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:01

Run DMC. Run DMC is the first time. Run DMC should be lower than 45.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:04

Yeah. Yeah, no, I actually think so too. If we're talking about best or like impact. That's another thing, too. Well, I think that they take all of that into that into account. Best of all time, they're gonna take that.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:14

Then you got 51 Pink Floyd.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:16

Well, let's go because let's be realistic. You have to take impact into consideration with this list because let's be real, if you're going off raw talent and everything, I Beatles wouldn't be one.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:25

Steven. Steven, you ready to get mad? Well, what's up? Really good.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:28

All no, Allman Brothers, Allman Brothers. Almond Brothers. The Alman Brothers are higher than Credence.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:37

Really?

SPEAKER_04 1:03:38

What about the pistachio past?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:39

Well, no, but you want to know what? Here's the thing. Allman Brothers, I gotta say this. With the Alman Brothers, right? Yeah, they were like pioneers with a lot of stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:50

Like they they did a lot of shit.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:53

Yeah that artificially off the rails. 51 Pink Floyd, 52 Queen, 53 Almond Brothers, uh 56, Dr. Dre. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Dr. Dre solo? Yeah, yeah. But wait. Interesting.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:05

Wait, wait, wait. Queen and who else did you just say?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:09

Pink Floyd's 51. So hold on. Pink Floyd's above Queen. Wait, wait.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:14

Yeah, there's no problem with that. I wait. Which I yeah, no, I I I'm on that. I'm over with that. I will I will say this though.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:20

Yeah. You take Freddie Mercury's voice and impact out of that uh equation.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:24

But you're gonna have Queen. Now Do you want me to keep going? Because there's more. No, I think that Queen is way too low on that list. I think when you're looking I think when you're looking at top 50 with the big artists like this. But Queen isn't I think you're just rearranging. But I think you're just rearranging 50? I feel like Queen should be Nirvana's 30, but Queen is 50. Nirvana's a way more impactful queen. Way more impactful queen. 55, Eric Clapton, 56, Dr. Dre, 56. Eric Clapton's 50.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:54

What?

SPEAKER_04 1:04:55

That's way too high for Eric Clapton. Eric Clapton shouldn't even be in the top 100.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:59

Unless you're talking about his guitar skills, but probably that's what they were.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:03

No, where where it gets where it gets really shit shady is when you start getting into like the 70s and you start seeing artists like like Oh no, if you let if you let me finish, you're a gun.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:14

Like jaw rule. So we got 57, Grateful Dead, 58, George Clinton, 59, Arrowsmith, 56, the Sex Pistols, 61, we got Metallica. We'll move it down a little bit. 63 to Tina Turner. Move it down a little bit to 65. We got the Kinks. Move it down to 67. We got Cream. 68, we got Design Temptations.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:36

I would also argue way too low for the for the Kinks.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:38

Uh we also got 70, we got the police. 71 is Frank Zappa. 72 is ACDC. Here's our boys. 73. Radiohead. Radiohead.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:51

Get the fuck out of here. Radiohead should be in the top 100. Listen to me. Oh, I listen to me. I don't like Radiohead. Fuck you. They should be in the top 100.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:01

See me running?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:02

A fat dude.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:03

SPEAKER_05 1:06:05

This actually makes me mad.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:07

Who's right behind it? Hank Williams.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:09

Who else? Who else is behind the radio? So who's behind Radiohead?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:12

Radio and I'm a fucking country fan. Anyway, so we got uh right after right after Hank Williams, we got Eagles. Then we got uh then we'll skip down a little bit to Beastie Boy 77.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:25

Radiohead speed Beastie Boys is fucking insane. Stooges.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:29

I would say they're an even. I like the Beastie Boys so much more than Radiohead. They're a pretty much.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:37

Sorry, so Stooges is 78.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:38

No, Stooges should not be behind Radiohead.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:40

No, no, no. Here we go for my throw-up moment. Number 80, Elvis Costello. Hold on. Number 82, Credence Clearwater Revival.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:49

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:50

Are you kidding me? I would have throw up. Who wait, say um who was that band that I just said that I completely forgot already? Stooges? Stooges. Stooges should be. If you're putting the clash in the top 30 or 20, however where they were.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:05

Interesting.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:08

You ready for the girl? That's like you ready for this?

SPEAKER_05 1:07:10

They left the tail end for all the freaking like 90s rappers.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:14

Guess who is directly behind Credence?

SPEAKER_04 1:07:18

Jay-Z?

SPEAKER_03 1:07:18

Nope. Piggy. Nope. Not even any of them that you're thinking of, right? Jamiriquai? 83. Dude, number 83. I like Jamaica. You would. Number 83. A little bit.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:28

Not a lot. He's uh not who you expect from the rap game.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:34

Not vanilla ice. His successful version?

SPEAKER_00 1:07:39

Marky Mark.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:41

His very successful version. Eminem? Yes. Eminem is not successful vanilla ice. Yes, he is. Eminem should be Eminem deserves to be on Vanilla List.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:51

I am not taking away from Eminem. Eminem is a motherfucking lyrical game. Wait, is Snoop Dogg on the list? What?

unknown 1:07:57

Who?

SPEAKER_03 1:07:58

Fuck you and your Snoop Dogg. Is Snoop Dogg on the list? No, no.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:00

No, I would no Snoop. No, Snoop Dogg would not.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:02

Fucking love Snoop Dogg, man.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:03

Snoop Dogg's not a lyrical fucking genius.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:05

Dr. Dre, they probably took into a lot of consideration his producing and his impact on music.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:10

Because we got yeah, well, of course. Um yeah, 88 uh is is is Jay-Z. Um then uh but guess who's 86? Sorry, above him, 85 Black Sabbath.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:26

Way too low for Black Sabbath. Way too low for Black Sabbath.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:30

Right below Black Sabbath? Tupac. Alright, too low for that. So you have you literally have you have Tupac.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:42

I mean, you have Black Sabbath lower than Radiohead. That's fucking disgusting. I mean that's deplorable.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:53

I mean, if you want to get really mad. Maybe longevity is playing into that.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:58

I don't listen. You know what? We can go down the rabbit hole and want to kill the battery.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:00

Tom Petty's 91 below all of them. Carlos Santana's at 90. Oh, that's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:07

I wouldn't even put Carlos Santana on the list.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:09

Probably not.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:09

I think he's one of the most overrated artists in the world.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:11

Yeah, he's just a guitar player.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:12

I think he's so overrated.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:15

Then we got um Tom Petty, uh Guns N' Roses 92. 9 Inch Nails made the list at 94.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:24

Interesting. Very interesting. Interesting that like 9 inch nails would make it, and then like a really foundational grunge band like Mud Honey or Sound Garden wouldn't.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:32

Uh wait a minute. Wait a minute. I skipped over a bunch. I didn't know who they fucking were.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:43

Yeah, huh? Nothing, not not that I mean, like if we're talking longevity and holy shit, I skipped over a big one.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:49

What? Number 41 was doors, right? Yeah. Number 44? Public enemy.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:56

No shit. Yeah, no shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:58

They usually usually glaze public enemy. I'm surprised they went they weren't in the top 20.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:03

Is NWA on there? Nope.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:06

Must have put Dre in the NWA spot.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:10

I was gonna say NWA, that was I mean, talk about pivotable.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:13

Pivotable Would have been. Is that a thing? Yeah, just had some syllables. It's fine.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:18

Yeah, yeah, that's fine, whatever. Um, I'm having a lot of people.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:21

We really should get back to the end of the episode, by the way. I'm gonna have to put this in the description of the episode that there's a 20-minute Rolling Stone list diversion.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:32

But it goes too with the critical theory, because my whole thing is is again, they're not they are not grading these things for like a genre.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:42

Alright, listen, there's five more left. All right, listen, Leonard Skinner at 95, Supremes at 96, REM at 97, Curtis Mayfield at 98, 99's Carl Perkins, and guess who got 100?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:57

Beyonce?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:58

No, you'll never fucking guess. Kind of deserved randomly. I in my opinion.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:04

I feel like 100 is like their uh like yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:08

We'll give you we'll give you this one. Talking heads. Oh, I like that. No shit. I I fuck with that. Yeah. No shit. I like that. Yeah. I do like that. But you know what though?

SPEAKER_00 1:11:19

So I can't take that that that there are so many fucking artists that should be on that list.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:26

But again, and again, like this is my point. This grading system sucks dick. Rely on what I'm saying. Everybody can go fuck themselves.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:38

Like you're not gonna put the pixies on there, you're not gonna you know what I mean like five stars for everything.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:45

It's not by genre.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:46

I think, but I think they're looking at it through a vacuum, and it's also one person's opinion.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:50

But that's stupid. Because again, you mean to tell me that this gets four out of five stars, but then some sort of fucking like you know, uh uh an Aerosmith album or something like that got four out of five stars, and they're not even comparable.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:03

Well, I don't think they're comparing them to each other as they But you're grading it as regardless. Let's talk about what really matters.

unknown 1:12:10

Oh god.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:11

Our ratings.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:12

So I give it a 14. Wait.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:15

Oh, wait.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:16

So, on a scale of one to ten, and remember, this one goes to eleven. I'm just gonna start ignoring you. So, I have to go first, David or Steven, what would you rank this album? Which one was go first? I'll go first. Alright, David, what would you rank this album?

SPEAKER_05 1:12:31

Yeah, so once again, uh uh so I'm gonna go with the whole middle of the road thing. I would normally give it a five. But since I was okay with the uh lyrics and stuff, we're gonna go ahead and give it a six.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:44

Okay. So just to recap, so far as we're at the halfway point of our season, you gave Geese Getting Killed a two, MacDamarco Salad Days a five, Kings of Leon, a Harshake Heartbreak, a five, Death Grips, the Money Store, a seven, and now Yuck self-titled a six.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:59

Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:00

Steven, what would you rank this?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:02

Um I'm going same thing.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:04

Middle of the road, like didn't I I liked the music, it was fine. My biggest gripe with it was again, couldn't hear shit. Okay, and I didn't like the filters on it, so because of that, middle of the road, I would say is a five, but I'm giving it a four.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:15

Okay. So you ranked the Geese a two, McDamarco a three, Kings of Leon a six, Death Grips a four, and now this one a four.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:26

Yeah, I see.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:27

And guys, would you buy this on vinyl?

SPEAKER_02 1:13:30

You didn't give your rating.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:33

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:34

So, what what David, don't can I just say don't bring it, don't bring to attention this fact is a hundred percent. Please take a photo with me. No, okay, nope, no, no, yes. So, yes, don't make fun of my frame photo of me and Lou Barlow. Anyway. So It's okay. I fucking shoulder checked your boy. You did?

unknown 1:13:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:55

I touched his elbow. Yeah, I literally shoulder check Jay Vasquez. Like, fucking, like, he was being led by some dude, and I literally just he walked right past me. I was just like, dunk, and I was like, oh, sorry, bro. And he just looked at me and just kept walking.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:08

And then I touched his arm.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:10

Of course he did. Yeah, Michael used I almost knocked him on his ass. Michael used it as an opportunity to touch the guy.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:16

So I ranked this album. Now, guys, hear me out. What the fuck? This album to me, I think is one of the most underrated albums in indie music. I listen to this album regularly. I go back to it at least once a month and live it, listen to it straight through.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:35

That's kind of crazy. Yeah. That's wild to me.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:37

I gave this album a 10 out of 11. Jesus. Did you really? I gave this album a 10. I love this album. I could listen to it over and over. It's got every element that I'm looking for.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:50

I wish I could hear what you're hearing. It's got the fuzz.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:53

It's got the difference in range.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:55

It's got the lyrical style that I like. This is just an almost perfect album too. I like the part where we get to trivia. What? I like the part where we get to trivia. Well, David, first, tell me, would you buy this album on vinyl? Um, for my previous stated fact of artwork. Never listening to it and just for the artwork, yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:17

Steven. No. Alright, relax. David, I gotta tell you, the last three albums you would buy on vinyl. Artwork. Okay. So that's literally the only reason why that needs to be stated. And Steven, you would only buy one album on vinyl so far.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:31

Kings of Leo and Hashake Heartbreak. Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:35

Well, because I'm not gonna sit there and buy an album just because like if I like the art that much, fucking.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:39

That's because you're an ignorant slut. Yeah, you're just an ignorant slut. Thank you, David. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you, Steven. You know, fuck you. You're not even gonna get this trivia right. Give me my button. Alright. So, guys. So but never for real though. Credence, if we both. Alright, cool. It's time for trivia.
