The boys at Rolling Reviews announce they are back with a bonus holiday episode, kicking off a slate of all new episodes in 2022. Nick and Max discuss their personal favorite holiday hits and the list gets contentious. The moon is right, the spirits up, we're here tonight, and Rolling Reviews is enough. Happy Holidays and a special Happy Festivus to all those that celebrate.
Gas-O-Lina. Gasolina, Gasolina, Gasolina, Gasolina. Or wait isn’t it Des-pa-cit-o Despacito, Despacito, Despacito, Despacito? Hope you enjoy reggaeton listeners! We’ll leave it at that.
Wow talk about a #1 Record for this one. The boys are floored to discover one of their favorite college sitcoms' theme song origin. A Big Star that burned out long before it got it's due, and a record that could be one of the biggest hidden gems of all time. Hello Wisconsin!!!
Guest host Max’s Mom (Lisa) joins the Rolling Reviews crew to talk 90s superstar Sheryl Crow. Embarrassing stories from Max’s childhood, what it actually felt like when the album dropped, and a surprising amount of certified bangers on this one. Hey, if this one makes you happy it can’t be that bad. Rolling Reviews will never make you sad.
Nick and Max celebrate episode 25 as they try to decide, "is this town big enough for the both of us?" *No, no it ain't*. The RR crew talks weird falsettos, synth pop, glam rock, and the rise of punk pop.
The boys discuss the other King of Chicago Blues, Howlin Wolf (See Muddy Waters episode). A true education in music history, some downright dirty guitar and a voice for the ages.
Max gets into his element on this one. The boys get their first taste of the BRITISH INVASION and Nick does a "great" accent to set the mood. Is this one of the most creative album names of all time? You decide...
Nick and Max are back! In an ACTION PACKED discovery of Texicano music, Nick schools Max on the legend of Selena and the boys test their Spanish vernacular.
Max falls in love with some new music on this episode. The boys dive into a relatively unknown album and discover which of the two of them is Indie and which one is not (hint it's not Nick).
