We didn’t think we’d ever review an album as recent as this one, but it’s so well-deserving of all of its critical acclaim! Billie Eilish’s debut full-length album sits at #397 on the Rolling Stone 500, and she and her brother Finneas won 6 Grammys related to the album in 2020.

In a 2001 interview, Rolling Stone asked lead singer Serj Tankian if he was “happy with how [this] album turned out”, and he answered “I’m just happy”. We believe him, and we also believe that this is one of the most intense, angry-sounding alternative metal records ever created! Upon release, Toxicity was critically and commercially successful, and has been certified triple platinum.

Talking Heads’ fourth album is a wild ride, and we’re here for it. Combining electronics, funk, African polyrhythms, looped grooves, and stream-of-consciousness lyrics, “Remain in Light” has been called the band’s magnum opus. It was the last album to be produced by old sourpuss himself, Brian Eno.

When Seattle-based band Mother Love Bone ceased to exist in 1990, the remaining members went on to form Pearl Jam. Their debut album “Ten”, released in 1991, has since gone 13x platinum and remains a quintessential grunge/alternative/hard rock album. Do we know what Eddie Vedder is singing? Not quite. Are we singing along to every syllable? Absolutely.

Who knew a concept album (it’s also been called a “song cycle”) would reach #1 on the Rolling Stone 500?? Marvin Gaye’s 11th album, “What’s Going On” was well received upon release and remains a critically acclaimed record. Is it a perfect record? We’ll discuss that in the episode!

It features a slew of producers and guest artists and is certified Platinum in the US.

Was anyone really “ok” in the 90s? We’re featuring a few records from that decade this season, and Mezzanine by Massive Attack is further proof that the answer to that question is a resounding “nope!” Their most successful album to date, it released in 1998 topping European charts, and in 2020 was moved from position 412 to 383 on the Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Albums of all time.

Is it okay for a band or a song to become “meme-ified”? In the case of R.E.M., we definitely think so! The 8th studio album from the Athens, Georgia-based group is full of empathetic lyrics about mortality loss, nostalgia, and mourning, that all can relate to.

“Heaven or Las Vegas” is the 6th album by Scottish dream pop band Cocteau Twins, and their most critically acclaimed. Like the city itself, this release has an otherworldly yet grounded element despite quite a few incomprehensible and misheard lyrics.

Released in 1975 as the 18th studio album by Willie Nelson, Red Headed Stranger is a concept album about a man who kills his wife and her lover and goes on the run. The album gave Willie his first #1 hit as a singer and cemented him as one of the most important and recognized artists in country music at the time.
