Exodus - Bob Marley (Review)
06/08/22 • 51 min
We're talking about Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1977 reggae masterpiece, Exodus, which makes the 2020 Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list at #71.
Is Bob Marley overrated?
He's one of the biggest names in music history and 40 years after his death you can still find his image and art everywhere. Oh, and his album is in the top-100 of all time, according to Rolling Stone. Yes, the Marley brand is strong, but does the music hold up? We asked our friend David Lizerbram from Rock Docs to join us for a discussion that ranged from reggae and assassination attempts to beach girls and the Tragically Hip.

Things Fall Apart - The Roots (Review)
This episode is all about The Roots' fourth studio album, Things Fall Apart, which was released in 1999. It makes the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list at #416.
Physicist, author, blogger and NYC-native Ethan Siegel brings some hip hop credibility to the podcast this episode, helping counteract the rural(ish) roots of Eamon, Sonya and Nathan. Known as "hip hop's first legitimate band," did the music, lyrics and vocals hold up under the toughest of scrutiny? Is this truly one of the greatest albums of all time? Well, you'll have to listen to find out.
During the episode we discuss Ethan's upcoming book - The Encyclopaedia Cosmologica - which you can pre-order here.

Melodrama - Lorde (Review)
What happens when three people who aren't big pop fans listen to an album from one of the world's top pop stars? It ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
We're talking about Lorde's 2017 critical hit album, Melodrama, which just barely grabs a piece of the 2020 Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list at #460.
One of our usual co-hosts, Sonya, couldn't make it for this show, so we replaced her with the most genetically-similar person we could find: her son. What'd he think of this album? Could Nathan get over his general disdain for pop music? Will Eamon ever understand modern music production? These questions and more are answered in our review.
