Albums Anonymous

Our first episode after pivoting. Now the podcast follows us as we create music on the fly with the help of AI. Today's episode features a soft and funky song called 'Gentle Funk' and a death metal song about a lovely horse.

Ryan and Troy finish out the second half of the album while reminding themselves of the insane luxuries we take for granted in modern society. They also talk about trimming pubes.

Ryan and Troy analyze the politically-charged 2001 album The Empire Strikes First by acclaimed punk legends Bad Religion.

The second half of the album feels more contemplative, trance-like, almost shoegaze-y at times, compared to the first half which was borderline dance music. Not a criticism as much as an observation. The album as a whole is very well-rounded, very unique, and unquestionably a must-listen.

Troy's turn this week. What's the opposite of a Naysayer?... Yeasayer! What's the opposite of a boring album? Yeasayer's All Hour Cymbals, a funky Middle Eastern-ish psych pop album with spectacular bass lines and powerful polyrhythmic percussion.

We round out the second half of the 2011 album Circuital this week. Grease your ear drums with us as we experience the joy of listening to My Morning Jacket.

Ryan's turn this week, serving up My Morning Jacket's 2011 album Circuital. They guys get a little carried away jamming out new songs for Ronald Reggae in between listening to the sweet sounds of Jim James's soothing voice. The album is a treat to the ears from track one. Enjoy!

Ryan and Troy dive deeper into the second half of the album, picking apart the messages and meaning behind the story that drives the concept. It's a dark but delightful insight into the band's creative process. The musicianship is second to none, and the composition is in a world of it's own. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala are genuine creative geniuses.

Troy and Ryan practice their impressions in between the mind-blowing tracks from The Mars Volta's debut album. Join us, and immerse yourself in the heavy-handed, wonderfully abstract, beautifully chaotic, latin-influeced, psychedelic odyssey that is De-Loused in the Comatorium.

Troy and Ryan round out the second half of the album loaded with tasty blues rock anthems. Fair warning, there's a pretty hefty amount of fart talk in this episode, but the music is still why we're all here.
