David and Mark from Nevermind the Music explore the musical choices behind Alien: Earth's eight end credit songs. Mark breaks down the technical elements—keys, tempos, instrumentation, and characteristic chords—that connect tracks ranging from Black Sabbath's "The Mob Rules" to Pearl Jam's "Animal."

The conversation examines how music supervisor Maggie Phillips selected these primarily 90s hard rock and metal songs, why they work (or don't) as episode closers, and what thematic connections exist between the lyrics and storylines. A deep dive into the intersection of Noah Hawley's creative vision and the visceral power of arena rock.
