Is It Worse Than...

R Cro / Robo Slush / HADR

The only music podcast that isn't afraid to ask the really tough question: Is It Worse Than 311? Each episode we examine the careers of any given artist and take the piss out of the life works of people who are far, far more successful than ourselves (mostly). Through our cynical analysis we hope to help listeners discover the albums that they'll love to add to their collection and those that you only listen to out of morbid curiosity. But most importantly we are looking for some truths that we can carry with us in to the future, because if 311 isn't the worst band ever, then who is?

Smashing Pumpkins are the best band ever that isn't 311. I'm serious. Why would I say otherwise? August of 2024 only matters because of how good the new Smashing Pumpkins album is. No really. I only lie to make jokes and this isn't funny.
