Welcome back to How It's Related, where today we’re still reeling from our Detroit trip and digging into albums that didn’t hit at first—but aged like fine gravy. Pinkerton, Load, Paul's Boutique, 808s & Heartbreak... we break down the albums that bombed, the bands that risked it, and how expectations shape legacy.

🎵 Highlights include:

• Detroit recap and city slander rebuttal 🍊

• Weezer’s Pinkerton vs. Blue Album

• Why Load isn’t bad… just not Metallica-y 🤘

• The Beastie Boys’ “Paul’s Boutique” deep dive

• What makes a band sound like them

• “Heartless” was huge… but 808s wasn’t?!

• The Walkman. Johnny Walkman. 🕶

• Blumpkins and Country Gravy (don’t ask)

👀 Plus, find out who invented bull weevil-core.
