   112 - Violator, or: The Lorax: First as a lamb, then as a lion

   Returning guest Degan joins the lads as they ostensibly discuss Depeche Mode's near riot-inducing breakthrough Violator. But they're really here to talk about the Lorax, and in particular, its lifespan. Also it's discovered that Jim may have been playing 3D chess this entire time. Either way, there are bodies 600 feet down and suspended up in the still waters of the Rockies. Sleep well!

   111 - So, or: Tooth Problems

   In this episode, the guys continue their birth-year album series with Peter Gabriel’s 1986 breakthrough album, So. After some opening chaos involving dental anxiety, canned bread, unsettling ultrasound images, questionable baby names, and the announcement that Jim is going to be a dad, the conversation eventually turns toward one of the defining pop records of the 1980s.They break down the album’s massive production, stacked lineup of musicians, world-music influences, unforgettable videos, and lasting impact on modern pop. The group debates whether Gabriel’s lyrics live up to the music, while choosing favorites including “In Your Eyes,” “Red Rain,” and “Sledgehammer,” along with their least-favorite tracks, standout musical moments, and comparable albums from the era.Despite a few disagreements, all three land on the same score: a strong 8 out of 10, praising the album’s musicianship, dynamics, layered production, and surprising consistency nearly four decades later. The episode closes with a characteristically loose and argumentative countdown of their favorite ’80s hair-metal songs.
