METALLICA are the best-selling heavy metal group of all time, the leader of the Big Four of American Thrash, Christopher Macarthur-Boyd’s favourite band of all time, and responsible for some of the greatest sounds in the history of recorded music, as well as the worst. 72 SEASONS is the eleventh and latest album by the Four Horsemen, and features Diamond Head-ish first single LUX AETERNA as well INAMORATA, which at 11:10 clocks in as the longest track in their storied discography.

Christopher and Liam rope Marc Jennings of the Some Laugh podcast into coming on the show to discuss Marshall Mathers’ third full-length record, THE EMINEM SHOW. Regarded by many as the last in a triptych of near-perfect albums by the 8 Mile-starring rapper, we did a deep dive on an album that defined the childhoods for wee guys born in the 90s, and discuss the shock culture of the time.

The Enjoy An Album boys talk about everything from Mariah Carey’s voicemails to the soundtrack to the Sony Pictures film Venom (2018) as well as Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, Dreamsleeves, Secret Posho, Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week, and somehow, The Bette Midler Factor returns. Enjoy!

Christopher and Liam listened to the new record by LANA DEL REY, and now they’re going to talk about it. Initially dismissed by the hipster cognoscenti as an industry plant and weathered by controversy, Elizabeth Grant’s nine-album spree of immaculate all-American art-pop has defied expectation and served gunt for over a decade. DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE’S A TUNNEL UNDER OCEAN BLVD has guest appearances out the wazoo, but really shines when it dives deeper into the blur between Lana’s persona and Lana’s person. 

The Enjoy An Album boys talk about everything from Video Games to Lana’s time spent in Glasgow in 2013 when she bought some morning rolls from the Co-Op in Shawlands. Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, Dreamsleeves, Secret Posho, Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week, and so much more. Enjoy!

Shetland legend Marjolein Robertson joins the Enjoy An Album boys this week to talk about her favourite childhood record - NELLY FURTADO’s worldbeat trip-hop bossa nova 2000 masterpiece WHOA, NELLY! Featuring big millennium hit singles like TURN OFF THE LIGHT, I’M LIKE A BIRD and … ON THE RADIO, the Portuguese-Canadian supernova’s debut album topped out at number two on the U.K. album chart but seared itself into the public consciousness. 

This week on Enjoy An Album with Liam Withnail and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, we listened to WHOA, NELLY! by NELLY FURTADO and now we’re going to talk to Marjolein Robertson about it. We discuss why Marjo was banned from bringing this CD into her school, how Nelly Furtado’s collaboration with Timbaland coincided with her sexual awakening, and why The Hunter is her favourite album by Mastodon. All that plus hot takes, cool digressions, Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, and Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week. Enjoy!

Teaming up with L.A. super-producer Greg Kurstin, the multi-simian multimedia project by Damon Albarn (Blur) and Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl) put out CRACKER ISLAND this year. Teeming with the requisite guest stars for a classic GORILLAZ record (Beck, Bad Bunny, Stevie Nicks, Thundercat, Tame Impala, etc.) and glistening with an overproduced glaze that sweetens the sadness and crowds out the genius, CRACKER ISLAND went to number one in the UK Album Chart.   

This week on Enjoy An Album with Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail, we listened to CRACKER ISLAND by GORILLAZ and now we’re going to talk about it. We discuss Zane Lowe’s mental interview with Damon Albarn, the secret posho status of Princess Siribha Chudabhorn, and the old HMV at the Glasgow Fort shopping centre. Hot takes, cool digressions, Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo and Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week. Enjoy!

The sophomore record from Bono’s son’s band, who you might recognise from support slots for Sam Fender, Harry Styles and Arctic Monkeys, or for being Bono’s son’s band. Sam’s Town-style heartland rock mingles with strangely sexless Strokesian indie-sleaze post-punk and eighties new wave synthlines abound from this nepo baby god king, CUTS & BRUISES could leave you dry or be your new favourite band with tracks like If You’re Going To Break My Heart, Love Will Get You There and Dublin In Ecstacy.

This week on Enjoy An Album with Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail, we listened to CUTS & BRUISES by INHALER and now we’re going to talk about it. We discuss the guy Apple Music sends to interview bands when Zane Lowe is busy, our personal favourite nepo babies, and so much more. Hot takes, cool digressions, Secret Posho, Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, and Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week. Enjoy!

An unabashed celebration of queer culture with samples of films by John Waters and Judy Garland’s Over The Rainbow, GLORIA by Sam Smith went to number one in the album charts this year in Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The non-binary star’s collaborations with Kim Petras and “outrageous” fashion choices have drawn controversy from dull-brained weirdos across the world, but this album has been generally well-received, inviting comparisons to gay legends like George Michael. Sadly, it contains a feature by Ed Sheeran.

The 38th Greatest Hip-Hop Record of All Time (as well as the 115th Greatest Album of All Time, of any genre) according to Rolling Stone, GOOD KID, M.A.A.D. CITY transcends its specificity and realism with goated storytelling and bone-deep authenticity. Autobiographical and universal at the same time, K. Dot presents this record as a “A Short Film By Kendrick Lamar”, but it’s just as novelistic as cinematic, as a startling and sparkling bildungsroman a clef that tells the story of a young boy coming of age on the streets of Compton.

This week we are joined by special guest Stephen Buchanan, a.k.a. Stevie B, a stand-up comedian, podcaster and sketch performer who you might recognise from BBC Scotland’s Queen of the New Year, or from Enjoy An Album’s sister podcast Some Laugh. All that plus hot takes, cool digressions, Secret Posho, Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, and Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week. Enjoy!

Jarring post-punk guitar lines riddle this 2023 Paramore record, having more in common with the British indie-guitar rock of Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand than the scene-kid emo-core genre that originally spawned this group. THIS IS WHY teems with funky tight riffs and stop-start rhythms, which belie Hayley Williams’s darker mature songwriting that skewers the narcissism of the modern age.

Featuring hot takes and digressions on everything from Billie Eilish convincing Hayley Williams to sing Misery Business again, to the ex-bass player Jeremy’s soundcloud rap project. All that plus Secret Posho, Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo and Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week. Enjoy!
