Here's my review of You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go by Bob Dylan, taken from his critically acclaimed 1975 album Blood on the Tracks. This is a song will the trademark Dylan styles; harmonica solo, acoustic guitars, and some of the best lyrics on the album which chart the narrator falling in and out of love. Also included is a review of Ryan Adam's 2022 cover of the song, and why in some ways I prefer it to the original. Hope you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe!

Here's my review of In Another Life by The Killers, taken from their 2021 album Pressure Machine.

This is a special episode where I take a deeper dive into an unpopular album in a band's discography and decide whether it deserves the hate it gets from the fanbase. This episode I am looking at We Can't Dance by Genesis, their final studio album with Phil Collins on vocals. This is an album that gets huge amounts of flack for substandard songwriting, an over reliance on synths and well... I Can't Dance. However, does it deserve the hate?
