Yes, it's as good as they say it is | Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Adam and Jamie are joined once again by their friend Bell. Bell is here today to talk about Adam's pick, Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life". Released in 1976, it came out as the culmination of a legendary run of albums, beginning in 1972 with "Music of my Mind". Between 1974 and 1977, Stevie Wonder won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year 3 times, a record. Upon release, the album was critically praised and spawned five singles, "I Wish", "Sir Duke", "Another Star", "As" and "Isn't She Lovely" (although this one was not released as a single in the US). But will the boys critically praise this album? Will they say it "Knocks me off my Feet", or will it leave them with a "Contusion"? Come along and find out!

He bought a Levi's Ad on Vinyl | The Dysfunctional Psychedelic Waltons - Payback Time
On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Adam and Jamie are joined once again by Dan Besser, who this time brings his own pick! Unconventionally, Dan's pick is a maxi-single called Payback Time by the The Dysfunctional Psychedelic Waltons. As far as we can tell, the song was created for an advertising campaign by Levi's Jeans in 2003. The single contains four versions of the song, remixed by different artists. We've never covered the same song, four different ways before, but we did cover singles all the way back in Season 1. Come along with us and have a little fun with Payback Time!

We found an album weirder than Dan | Igorrr - Spirituality and Distortion
On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Adam and Jamie are joined once again by their friend, Dan Besser! Dan joins us today to talk about Adam's next pick, Igorrr's "Spirituality and Distortion". Released in 2020, it was his fourth album. A mix of avant-garde music, metal, and most perplexingly...polka, "Spirituality and Distortion" is a wildly eccentric album, named in 2024 as one of the 10 most wacky by Loudwire. But what will Dan and the boys think of the combo of blast beats and accordion? Will they dance a "Nervous Waltz" or will they think it is "Very Noise"? Come along and find out!
