After a few weeks off over Christmas 2025 we are back and starting off the new year with a look at 1995's 'Zeitgeist' album by the Levellers. Neither of us were fans of the band back in the day and don't know this record at all really so fingers crossed we get some fun new songs to get our teeth into.

As well as talking about the Levellers and trying not to mention fire poi too much we happen upon the likes of KRS One, Lisa Loeb and Michael Bolton on our journey through what else was going on in September '95. Good lord.

The Charlatans released their fourth album, just called 'The Charlatans', in September 1995 and here we are to give it a once over. Our musical tastes are shown in stark contrast on this one as Krister really enjoys it while Dave is left pretty cold.

We do get the chance to gabble about the likes of Money Mark, Slayer and Whigfield though so a bit of something for everyone.

Please lord forgive us for whatever we did to deserve this album in our run of 90s number ones. We knew it was on the horizon and finally here we are. It's only a mild spoiler to say we weren't looking forward to listening to this one and it turns out we were pretty justified in those fears. Sorry if you're a Boyzone fan - you might want to skip this episode.

But at least you, the listener, can enjoy our sacrifice and we do at least get to talk about some other music from the time such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rancid and Urge Overkill so it's not wall to wall slagging off boybands.

It's 1995, it's the summer and all you want to do is party so what do you need? You need a new album featuring Shaun Ryder to neck a load of drugs to and throw yourself around a dancefloor. We're joined by our lovely friend Stephen Hill from the Trve.Cvlt.Pop podcast to cast an eye across Black Grape's debut album 'It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah' and debate its party credentials among other things. The TCP lads have their own episode all about this album on their patreon page already so check it out if you want to hear more of Stephen's opinions. Or, indeed, simply less of ours.

We also take the chance to chat about acts such as Moist, Goldie and of course Dog Eat Dog. And we threw in a fruit-based pop quiz in the middle of the episode for a bit of fun because why not, eh?

Ooh, hold onto your sideburns, it's the debut album by Supergrass from 1995, 'I Should Coco'. You may well know this album because of the ubiquity of the single 'Alright' and if so then try not to run screaming from this episode as there are 12 other songs on here that aren't that one.

There are also plenty of other acts that we get to talk about from around this time period such as Raekwon, Whipping Boy and Tricky so that's a treat for sure.

We already tackled Bon Jovi's 'Keep The Faith' album back in Season Two and here we are again face to face with some rock cowboys, this time to have a listen to 'These Days' from 1995. And to help us out we are joined by our good friend Chris Green, a man who has played guitar alongside more rock royalty than you could shake a Fender Stratocaster at and someone who really knows his classic Bon Jovi albums. So will this pass muster? Will it join those other albums like 'New Jersey' and 'Slippery When Wet'? I mean obviously not but let's see what we all reckon.

The Bon Jovi album was number one for four weeks so we get to talk about loads of other album and single releases from such acts as Reef, Foo Fighters, Kyuss and WASP. Hmmm.

The King Of Pop returns with a double album in 1995, one of which is a Greatest Hits and the other being an album of new material heavily weighted towards MJ giving vent to his thoughts about the allegations that the press has been hammering him with. He's full or fury and he wants to shout about it! Neither of us had heard this full album before and of the non-single tracks which were completely new to us, there are some very peculiar choices being made.

We also talk about the likes of David Holmes, Bjork and Ugly Kid Joe so there you are.

Time to discuss a bit of The Modfather and to help us out we invited comedian and Weller-fan Rich Wilson to help us fill in some of the blanks in our knowledge and to raise the comedy bar higher than we could ever do on our own. Huge huge thanks to him for making the time for us - check out Rich's latest comedy special on Next Up Comedy, his hit podcast Insane In The Men Brain, his music podcast The Tuned Up Time Machine and his website for everything else he's doing at the minute.

As well as Weller we have chats about the likes of Jeff Buckley, Beastie Boys and Robson & Jerome so that's something to look forward to, plus Krister has a lot of great suggestions for potential Paul Weller TV projects, every one a winner.

As we explain in the episode half of this was recorded with everyone in the same room and half was done over a dodgy Edinburgh hotel wifi connection so please forgive any rubbish audio quality issues - we genuinely tried our best.

It's our second time reviewing a Take That album, this time it's 'Nobody Else' from 1995 which was the one they released just before Robbie Williams left the band and then they decided to split up thus ruining the lives of every teen girl in the UK. It's also the one that has Back For Good on it but having not heard anything other than the singles we weren't sure what the rest of the songs on here were going to be like. As it turns out, lots of New Jack Swing.

But we also chat about Clutch, Earthling and Scatman John so happy days.

Somehow we appear to have to do the second Wet Wet Wet album of the podcast and this time it's the album with THAT song on it, 'Picture This' from 1995. You might well have heard 'Love Is All Around' too many times in the 90s but buckle up because you're going to get it thrown your way again.

As well as listening to a load of slow ballads by the Scottish behemoths we get the chance to chat about acts like Pavement, Mark Morrison and, erm, H-Blockx.
