Richard D. James is incredibly prolific. Fans of his music know this. We attempt to do his back catalogue justice, and Weaver makes his case for why ‘Chosen Lords’ is his unsung classic.

Marnie Stern is an obscenely talented musician. That's probably something we should mention from the get go. Her guitar playing and songwriting nous is remarkable, and the result of her skill is four very good albums, most of which could be considered for out discography.

Baroness have evolved a great deal since their formation, and on this episode Mark argues that this record is their best not just because it sees the band shift towards something more ambitious, but because even its imperfections make it an interesting listen. Chris and Weaver vehemently disagree.

It’s been a while since we picked an album that divided us, but this one does it. Chris takes Best Coast to task for their musical and commercial ethos, whilst David makes a bold case for the simplicity and tunefulness of the album, regardless of the context in which it was made and promoted. This episode’s one for the books.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor don't really do brevity. They do epic, sweeping, often joyous, always elaborate, suites of music that are designed to move you. They're thorough, crafting songs with painstaking attention to detail.
In keeping with the spirit of the band, we thought we'd do the same, so we present to your our longest episode yet. But trust us when we say that it's probably up there with our most interesting listens.

P.O.S’ third record is, like every other record he’s produced, its own unique thing. His desire to never make the same record twice has resulted in a varied catalogue of genre-bending hip hop albums. We put ‘Never Better’ to the sword and the results are…well, let’s just say we all agreed on this one.

Cat Power' has had her fair share of ups and downs, both mentally and musically, throughout the course of her career. We address this, the mental health issues of musicians in general, and so much more in this week’s episode. Alongside this, we also ask the burning question: is this her best work?

Against Me! have been through just about everything a band can possibly go through, and Laura Jane Grace is perhaps one of the most important figures in alternative music right now. A case could be made for just about any of the band’s records to go into our discography, but we think this is the best. What do you think?

Then, after you’ve listened, tell us if you agree by voting on Facebook!

Before we started this podcast we knew that we’d cover Cave In. We collectively agreed that we would talk about ‘Jupiter’. We just didn’t think it’d be this soon.

Given Weaver's love of Bjork, we had a feeling we'd arrive at one of her albums one day. So here we are, talking about 'Vespertine'. A record about love and relationships which is positively brimming with goodness and warmth. Is this her best record though? We're interested to see what people think...

We’re no stranger to gloomy bands here on the pod, but this is perhaps our first dalliance with shoegaze. The Twilight Sad’s debut album is heavy on that and the folk, and a couple of us think it’s their best outing. The remaining third though, is highly unimpressed. Is this their best album?

We demand people listen to this record. It's made many a "best of" list in its time but it still seems to go pretty unsung in our books. Mclusky were a force of nature, and this album captures those moments of frantic, noisy rock music in all their scuzzy glory. Listen. Vote. Do the right thing.
