THE TIME HAS COME MY FRIENDS - today we are deep diving into Taylor Swift's absolutely epic eleventh studio album "The Tortured Poets Department" (The Anthology edition!)

We have split up our review into different tiers ranging from God Tier to least faves... But do we agree on which songs stand out on this 31-track extravaganza? And as passionate Swifties, where does this album sit next to the rest of Tay Tay's immense back catalogue?

Let us know if you agree or disagree, and which songs made your own personal God Tier!!!

PS. I apologise for referring to "Folklore" as "Fortnight" on this episode. There is absolutely no excuse. I blame red light fever.

This isn't just a country album, it's a Beyonce album... and we are so here for it!

It's the second album of our April Triple Bill - the deluxe edition of Olivia Rodrigo's latest release, "Guts (Spilled)"!

 Becky grew up with 90's female singer/songwriters whereas Paul did not, so did this affect our score at all? We love chatting about our different influences and how this affects our current music tastes. So get ready for chats on rrriot girl culture and teen angst galore!

Are you an Olivia superfan or have you long outgrown your teen years? Let us know below!

The final episode of our April Triple Bill is a discussion of "Eternal Sunshine", the seventh studio album by pop powerhouse Ariana Grande.

We were surprised to find this is the first Ari album we've reviewed on the podcast so it's great to finally have her in our roster! We loved talking about how this album measured up to our expectations and of course Ari's stunning  vocals!

Let us know if you agree with our thoughts!

Today's episode is a very in-depth discussion on Ed Sheeran's sixth studio album "Subtract" and our feelings on the lyrical content, as well as Ed's new documentary on Disney Plus.

This was a difficult one to review as we haven't been too sure on Ed's approach to this album, but we do think he's incredibly talented and has clearly had a lot of emotions to work through on this album.

What do you think of the album and documentary? Do you connect with Ed's new songs? Let us know your thoughts!

Calling all Miley stans! This episode is a deep dive on "Endless Summer Vacation", the eight (!) studio album by the incredible singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus.

This is the first time all season where we actually agreed on something! Check out our track by track discussion, including rudeness, emosh-ness, and, for some inexplicable reason, a heated debate about Sia's musical theatre credentials.

In today's episode, Paul and Becky are reviewing the soundtrack "Aurora" by the fictional band Daisy Jones & The Six from the recent Amazon Prime adaptation of the same name. As big fans of the Taylor Jenkins Reid book, they had a lot of thoughts on these songs and whether or not they hit the brief of being Fleetwood Mac style hits or not!

Come and join us on a retro 70s-inspired journey... Did these songs hit the mark for you??!

Wow, we have some very conflicting opinions on this week's album, the sixth offering by legendary rock band Paramore - they have a brand new vibe, but what do we think of it? And have Covid albums been done to death or is this a fresh new take? Also, how hot is Hayley Williams?!

Take a listen and let us know what you think!
