Episode notes
Pop Polishing Can Erase Soul
- Kevin ranks American Beauty/American Psycho lowest because it feels lab-crafted and forgettable despite some enjoyable tracks.
- He recommends the remix album as a better way to experience those songs stripped of soulless guitar/drums.
Trying Weird Things Is Worth Credit
- Kevin puts Mania just above the very worst because they at least attempted experimentation despite some unlistenable tracks.
- He values risk-taking even when songs like 'Young and Menace' fail spectacularly.
Victory Lap Vs. Cultural Impact
- Kevin ranks Save Rock And Roll low partly due to perceived nostalgia and some features not landing, but praises attempts at new directions.
- He sees the album as a grandiose comeback gesture rather than a cultural legacy shift.
