Album Reviews & You

Album Reviews & You, the internet’s least professional professional music review channel. If you came here expecting velvet blazers, monocles, and 20-dollar words about the “interplay between sonic textures and ephemeral moodscapes,” you’re in the wrong place. If you came here for someone who loves music, makes fun of music, overthinks music, and occasionally wonders why they’re still listening to that one terrible bonus track, congratulations — you’ve found home.

Album Reviews & You ·

2025/12/02

Send us a text Frank Zappa’s Over‑Nite Sensation (1973) is what happens when virtuoso musicians decide to make the filthiest jazz‑fusion record imaginable. In this Album Reviews and You episode, Will dives into the wild arrangements, cartoon‑level innuendo, and genius hidden beneath the gooey absurdity. Expect humor, chaos, and a surprising amount of actual music talk between the puns — because every groove on this record walks the line between brilliant and ridiculous. New episodes every Tue...

2025/11/25

Send us a text Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the musical equivalent of an Oscar speech delivered in a mirror maze. In this Album Reviews and You episode, Will dives into the decadence, the melodrama, and the boldest ego trip ever pressed to vinyl. From “Power” to “Runaway,” we’re talking production as confession, humor as armor, and the moment hip‑hop decided to crown its own villain. Absurd humor, sharp analysis, and a few too many metaphors about angels and autotune incl...

2025/11/18

Send us a text Phish’s 1994 album Hoist is the sound of four Vermont weirdos deciding jam bands could also write actual songs—and accidentally making one of the most inviting records of the 90s. In this episode of Album Reviews and You, I dive into the horns, the funk, the horse noises, and the eternal question: can a studio Phish album ever capture live chaos?

2025/11/11

Send us a text Taylor Swift isn’t just a musician — she’s a full-blown cultural event. In this Album Reviews and You episode I dive headfirst into The Life of a Showgirl, dissecting the beats, bravado, and bedazzled existentialism behind Taylor’s latest spectacle. From “The Fate of Ophelia” to “Father Figure,” this absurd yet thoughtful review weaves through satire, sincerity, and synths that sound like they were assembled by a committee of very emotional robots. Equal parts music criticism a...

2025/11/04

Send us a text It’s Album Reviews & You — the internet’s least professional professional music review show. In this episode, I dive headfirst into Rush’s Moving Pictures, the album that made math rock cool before anyone knew what math rock was. From Tom Sawyer’s radio dominance to YYZ’s Morse code flex, this record is technical perfection disguised as rock music. Along the way, I question humanity’s progress, and wonder why Geddy Lee sounds like a heroic falcon. Join me as I break down th...

Send us a text It’s just a jump to the left—and a lunge into madness—as I dissect The Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack, one glitter-stained track at a time. From Frank-N-Furter’s grand entrance to Meat Loaf’s rock ‘n roll meltdown, this episode of Album Reviews & You dives into the bizarre brilliance of one of cinema’s most iconic musicals.

2025/10/21

Send us a text Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book is the sound of freedom — a young artist breaking every rule and inventing the future of soul as he goes. In this episode of Album Reviews & You, I dive into the creative chaos behind songs like “Superstition,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” and “Maybe Your Baby.” It’s funk, heartbreak, and pure innovation — all from a 22-year-old who was already redefining what pop music could be. Join me as we explore the stories, sounds, and small miracl...

Send us a text This time on Album Reviews & You, we crank the gain to nuclear and dive headfirst into Metallica’s Master of Puppets — the thrash masterpiece that made existential dread sound like stadium fireworks. Between tales of control, addiction, and face-melting riffs, we’ll explore why this album isn’t just heavy… it’s gravitational. From the pounding rhythm of “Battery” to the haunting instrumental of “Orion,” this episode dives into the chaos and perfection of Metallica at their ...

2025/10/13

Send us a text Lets saddle up with David Allan Coe’s Longhaired Redneck — an album that sneaks up on you like Dan and Shay at a Waffle House. We talk outlaw country, real-deal twang, and a barn dance gone horribly wrong. There’s pedal steel, prison stories, and a dancing bear that’s definitely on something.

Send us a text Step into the funky, chaotic, and endlessly inventive world of the Beastie Boys with their seminal 1992 album Check Your Head. From tight grooves to mind-bending samples, from punk energy to jazzy jams, this album proves the Beasties could do it all — and do it brilliantly. In this episode, I break down every track, exploring the beats, the layers, and the pure irreverent joy that makes Check Your Head a masterpiece.

2025/09/30

Send us a text In this episode I dive headfirst into The Velvet Underground & Nico — the album that flipped 1960s pop on its head, shoved a banana on the cover, and whispered “I’m not like the other girls” while staring dead-eyed into the void. From the hazy bells of “Sunday Morning” to the 8-minute sonic meltdown of “European Son,” I cover every track, every squawk of feedback, every vaguely German sigh. Is it pop music? Is it performance art? Is it just Lou Reed mumbling while a mannequ...

Send us a text In this episode of Album Reviews and You, I dive into Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black — the late-night diary entry turned Motown funeral march that redefined heartbreak records. From the swaggering horns of “Rehab” to the mascara-stained tragedy of “Back to Black,” every track is drenched in humor, pain, and just the right amount of chaos. We’ll talk about what happens when an artist’s demons fuel their brilliance, why Amy could make even a drunk text sound like a Motown classic,...

Radiohead – OK Computer – An Hour of Mumble and Noise

Album Reviews & You ·

2025/09/16

Send us a text Critics call OK Computer one of the greatest albums of all time. I call it an endurance test in distortion, mumbling, and half-baked ideas. From the car-crash shrug of “Airbag” to the robot poetry of “Fitter Happier” and the slow-motion crawl of “The Tourist,” Radiohead’s so-called masterpiece feels less like revolution and more like a sleep aid with guitars. In this episode, I break down every track, tearing into the chaos, the boredom, and the baffling hype that still surroun...

Send us a text Prince’s Purple Rain isn’t just an album, it’s a coronation. From the sermon-on-the-dancefloor explosion of Let’s Go Crazy to the filth and fury of Darling Nikki, to a closing anthem that could level a stadium, this is Prince at his most unfiltered and unstoppable. I dig through the solos, the Linn drums, the screams, the ego, and the genius to see why this record still commands so much reverence today. Spoiler: it’s not subtle, but that’s the point. If you’ve ever wanted to kn...

Send us a text Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia promises both retro flair and futuristic shine — but does it deliver? In this episode of Album Reviews & You, I dive track by track into one of the biggest dance records of the 2020s. From Chic-inspired basslines and Bee Gees strings to EDM festival drops and over-compression fatigue, I pull apart the grooves, the gloss, and the gimmicks. Is it a bold reinvention of disco, or just Lady Gaga wearing bell-bottoms? Put on your leisure suit, grab you...

Send us a text Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On isn’t just an album — it’s a 35-minute sermon on war, poverty, racism, pollution, drugs, and everything else humanity insists on screwing up. In this episode, I go track by track: from the deceptively smooth party vibes of the title cut, to the gut-punch prophecy of Mercy Mercy Me, to the bongos that fade us out on Inner City Blues. Along the way, we’ll talk validation, addiction, god, and why protest music never sounded this silky again. So grab a...

2025/09/09

Send us a text In 1991, three scruffy guys from Seattle dropped an album that killed hair metal, dethroned Michael Jackson, and made “grunge” the word of the decade. Nevermind is loud, messy, surprisingly melodic, and responsible for about 10,000 terrible high school “Teen Spirit” covers. In this episode, I go track by track: from the underwater baby chasing a dollar on the cover, to the anthem that launched a generation, to the creepy quiet of “Polly,” and the noise apocalypse of the hidden ...

2025/09/08

Send us a text Thriller is the biggest album of all time, and it’s basically nine tracks of Michael Jackson throwing sequencer bass, funk grooves, and red leather swagger at the world until it broke the charts in half. From Eddie Van Halen shredding “Beat It” into the stratosphere, to Vincent Price doing his best spooky laugh, to Billie Jean insisting the kid is not his son, this record is equal parts genius, weirdness, and pop perfection. In this episode, I go track by track through Thriller...

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours - The Ultimate Breakup Album

2025/09/07

Send us a text Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours isn’t just an album — it’s a soap opera pressed to vinyl. Divorce, betrayal, cocaine, and tambourines that never quite hit the beat — somehow it all came together to create one of the best-selling and most beloved records of all time. In this episode, I break down the songs track by track: from the galloping bite of “Second Hand News,” to Stevie’s crystal visions in “Dreams,” to the epic, dragon-summoning power of “Gold Dust Woman.” Along the way, we’ll ...

Send us a text In 2021, Olivia Rodrigo burst onto the scene with her debut album SOUR, a raw and unflinching look at heartbreak, jealousy, and growing up in the spotlight. Mixing pop-punk energy with confessional ballads, the record connected instantly with listeners across generations. In this episode of Album Reviews & You, we explore the universal appeal of hits like “drivers license,” “good 4 u,” and “deja vu,” while asking whether SOUR is simply a breakup diary or a defining pop stat...
