The Album Crawl

It's episode 50! For it we are visiting rap for the first time in too long. Let's get to the gigantic blockbuster 2003 master peice, Jay Z's The Black Album!

We can't help ourselves! These song crawls are just so much fun! For the 4th round we bring in friend of the show Graham to pick some songs to add to this never ending chain. Crawl with us!

Continuing down our little path of electronic music we cannonball into the headiest of all of it, Aphex Twin. To try and understand this musical enigma we go to the beginning and take a close look at some songs he made as a teenager, and wow how they hold up! This is a really fun episode trying to figure out just what is going on in these little planets of songs. Crawl with us!

Let's get bleeping! Let's get blooping! It's time for the integral electronic album, Kraftwerk's Autobahn! We have a roundtrip of a time strolling through the cinematically minded album as the German boys try to recreate some imagery using only synthesizers. This one might lull you into a coma. Crawl with us!

It's time to talk cryptic songwriting, synthesizers, and the powerful force of the human voice. That is because it is Bon Iver time here at the album crawl. We had a hard time not talking forever with this one because it is so dense and intricate. This is a good one! Crawl with us.

It's time to put the kettle one and get warm by the fire with Fleetwood Mac's little known 6th album Bare Trees. This episode, we listen through some soft rock jams and put together what this band was like pre-Rumors and Stevie Knicks. We had a lot of fun with this one and possibly made fun of Danny Kirwan a little too much. Crawl with us!

It's about that time for another song crawl! Play with us as we jump from song to song  and have a blast doing it. We get pretty silly with this one, its a great time. Enjoy!

It's time to get wild over here on the Album Crawl. This episode were blasting off into space with the eccentric, experimental, and soulful A Wizard/A True Star by Todd Rundgren. We really do have a great time with this one, with it's endless amount of sounds and insane lyrics there's so much to get into! Crawl with us!

The epic guitar! The hooks! The okay at best lyrics! Let's get down to one of the biggest album in history, Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet. We have a fun time breaking down this one and seeing just what's worth remembering among these timeless classics.

Caution Baby! It's about that time we crawl back to the early 90's to dance and ponder our way through U2's Achtung Baby. This was a wild episode as we sway from enjoying, to hating, to just being baffled by what Bono and the Edge cooked up on this one. Join us, and if you stick around long enough you can hear some great Anthony Kedis impressions!
