This video finished my review of Ozzy Osbourne's 2nd solo album, Diary of a Madman. Both of my episodes on this album were blocked on YouTube. So, I wanted to make it available here on Patreon.
Enjoy!

It's a little delayed, but I'm glad I waited until I had a good slot of time to dive head-first into this proggy masterpiece. I grooved on every single song in this 1976 album by Kansas. I hope you enjoy!

This was a wild album, y'all! Unbelievable amounts of musical color...great riffs...smart chord changes...I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was like hearing a King Crimson Jazz Fusion album.

I think this is my personal favorite of all the movements from Holst's The Planets. It's buoyant and lively bits are derived from the noble folk hymn theme at the heart of the movement. The compositional construction (as well as the orchestration) are impeccable, and the result is one of the more...

I enjoyed this album much more than I was anticipating...especially after reading about all of the 'drama' happening behind the scenes with financial and artistic differences in the band as well as a roster change...with Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman departing the band before the album was comple...
2024-02-06 17:37:11 +0000 UTC View PostHi y'all! I'm a bit late with this poll, but I think we can come to a consensus in a few days.
As I was looking through the pending EPL list, I came to Yes and realized that we have five full albums in the queue for this band. So, help me pick the one to hear next!
Hi y'all,
I think we really started the year off well with this Fan Favorites episode. All four of these classic tracks were first time listens for me...and I loved them all. Actually, I found a common thread shared among these tracks as I listened. I hope you enjoy!

For our first Behind the Score of 2024, we're starting off with a bang with John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine.
This piece for large orchestra is a bit of an anomaly with a duration under five minutes. It's an exciting ride full of rhythmic vitality. I hope you enjoy my deep dive into...

For our first EPL of the new year, we're listening to Haken's 2nd album. Visions is another concept album, and I thoroughly enjoyed my listen. This is now my fourth EPL for this band, and I'm realizing that they really don't have a weak album...I really like all their output. Enjoy!
