Musically Reclined

Ben Carozza; Kevin Cross

Hosts Ben Carozza and Kevin Cross give approachable yet detailed (well, sort of) reviews of randomly selected albums each week. Jokes, stories, and maybe even a drink recommendation now and again.

Episodes

Kendrick Lamar/Squirrel Nut Zippers

What else can you say? These are going to start getting weird, but we're really in the swing of it now. Foot on the gas, no looking back. Just a couple of white 20 somethings trying to figure out what life might be like for an up-and-coming future rap GOAT and then immediately turning to Squirrel Nut Zippers at parody pace. Don't ask questions, just enjoy.

No Doubt/Oxymoron

We hope this podcast finds you well! We're doing what is bound to be the most in-depth look at No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom" as well Oxymoron's "F*ck The Nineties...Here's Our Noize" of all time. We're bringing nuanced discussion of lyrics and instrumentation, we're bringing laughs and good vibes, and unfortunately, we're bringing free advertising. Hey, we're givers.

Baroness/Rotting Christ

The parity in albums will never not tickle us pre-recording. This was a lot of fun, and Ben fixed the audio so honestly it's all good things this time around. We cover a lot of ground creatively here, so buckle up and enjoy!

Audioslave/Sturgill Simpson

The boys are back at it after a taking care of outside business (if you know what we mean. If not, we tell you). We're tackling Audioslave and Sturgill Simpson, as we're sure you've heard by now. It's funny listening to this one now, because opinions on some off-hand comments have definitely changed, but maybe we'll save that for a different episode. Enjoy!

Cirith Ungol/1975

This is where the fun starts! The first of many episodes in which the bands/genres/ideas of music altogether couldn't be further apart. Also the start of the longer episodes, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Clutch- Blast Tyrant/ Stage Bottles- Mr. Punch

We had some exciting tech difficulties with this one, but it's still good. It's pretty clear from the start that we're tremendous Clutch fans, and try as we did we just couldn't manage to not gush. As it's said, "if you know, you know." Stage Bottles is a new one to half of the team, so it's fun getting that change from "I know this album inside and out" to "oh so THIS is Oi Punk." It's a hoot of a 'sode, but it's a long one. Enjoy!

Rage Against the Machine/Possessed by Paul James

Baby's first episode! We explain the rules inside, but decided to get this party rolling by example. Come for the commentary, stay for next week's selection, and get involved.
