Is It Worse Than...

Music EN ↓ 251 episodes

The only music podcast that isn't afraid to ask the really tough question: Is It Worse Than 311? Each episode we examine the careers of any given artist and take the piss out of the life works of people who are far, far more successful than ourselves (mostly). Through our cynical analysis we hope to help listeners discover the albums that they'll love to add to their collection and those that you only listen to out of morbid curiosity. But most importantly we are looking for some truths that we can carry with us in to the future, because if 311 isn't the worst band ever, then who is?

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Stone Giants - West Coast Love Stories 08.07.2021

The new project by Amon Tobin works incredibly well as a cohesive piece and you should go check it out just like I'm going to check out some new mic cables so I don't keep losing signal every other time I record...

Ep 34: Moby 04.07.2021

What a joy. Such a treat. All of us here at IIWT3 love good electronic music, especially when it has such good clean commercial applications. That's really what we liked about listening to Moby's discography. It wasn't conflictingly inconsistent and redundant all at the same time or anything. I myself can only hope to be half as pure and talented as the Christian vegan electronic musician that onl...

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Tyler, The Creator - CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST 01.07.2021

Everybody was always wondering when Tyler would chill out and grow up, but maybe he shouldn't...

Ep 33: Leon Redbone 27.06.2021

R. Cro and General Murphinstein reminisce about old people music because they are old. R. Cro leaves to puke.

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Jad Fair & Kramer - The History Of Crying 24.06.2021

Indie rock darlings team up to give us 45 minutes of weird sentimentality. 

Ep. 32: The Aquabats 20.06.2021

One word: pustules. 

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Danny Elfman - Big Mess 17.06.2021

Jack Skellington gives us a Big Mess.

Ep. 31: The Beach Boys 13.06.2021

Nothing more relaxing than getting together with some friends and going to listen to the classic sun loving tunes of The Beach Boys in the middle of a global pandemic in order to support a neglectful, incompetent, corrupt fake billionaire. Mike Love is a massive piece of shit. The end.

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Mndsgn - Rare Pleasure 10.06.2021

This may not be the ultra-smooth super sexy time album you were looking for but some of it makes for alright background music if you're not paying attention. We might suggest looking in to some of Mndsgn's earlier works instead.

Ep. 30: Taylor Swift 06.06.2021

I like Taylor Swift. Don't say anything bad about Taylor Swift. Don't be mean. You're mean. I hate The National, say bad things about The National if you want.

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Black Midi - Cavalcade 03.06.2021

Never underestimate the power of pretentious art students with guitars.  Tune in Sunday when we cover Taylor Swift. 

Ep 29: Bon Jovi 30.05.2021

Perry really likes the support he got from his community for listening to Bon Jovi. He's a cowboy. On a steel horse he rides.

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Mach-Hommy - Pray For Haiti 27.05.2021

We should've done this review about Lambchop - Showtunes because that album is really really good and this one is...kinda just is.

Ep 28: Beck 23.05.2021

Sometimes your worst album is the one that gets you a Grammy, and sometimes maybe you're a scientologist. I don't know. It's Beck, everything's wild and crazy. Ohh la la.

MID-WEEK REVIEW - St. Vincent - Daddy's Home 20.05.2021

Gross name for an album.

Ep 27: Boris 16.05.2021

Crowd surfing definitely isn't for everyone, but Boris is! Boris Yeltsin served as the first president of Russia from 1991 to 1999 and that has nothing to do with this podcast. Boris Johnson is the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom and he has a really bad haircut. That also has nothing to do with this episode of the podcast.  Don't forget to subscribe to R Cro's youtube where you can find...

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Czarface and MF DOOM: Super What? 13.05.2021

The first posthumous release featuring the legendary MF DOOM is finally out and it delivers, even if it seems like a bit of a tease. 

Ep 26: Saved By The Bell 09.05.2021

The owls are not what they seem. Coop! I think Jessie has a pill problem! COOP! Can you hear me Coop?!?

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Gojira - Fortitude 06.05.2021

WHOA NO! THERE GOES TOKYO, GO GO GODZILLA!!!

Ep 25: Barenaked Ladies 02.05.2021

General Murphenstein's dog Greta probably put's it best when she said "AAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOORORORORORORROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!". Some times being "childish" and "whimsical" is creepy as fuck. Looking at you Canadian musical group Barenaked Ladies.

MID-WEEK REVIEW - Dinosaur Jr. - Sweep It In To Space 29.04.2021

People love the Dinosaur Jr. guitar sound and this album sounds like Dinosaur Jr. making sounds with guitars...

Ep 24: Tortoise 25.04.2021

Tortoise is a really good band of skilled and accomplished musicians. That's pretty much that. I'm sure we talk about some other things in this episode but I really just feel like expressing how much I hated Fall Out Boy. Fall Out Boy is just the worst. Listen to Tortoise.

Greta Van Fleet - The Battle At Garden's Gate REVIEW 22.04.2021

Michigan hard rock band Greta Van Fleet returns with even more 70's arena rock nostalgia to die from boredom to. This album is full of sedentary guitar rock back ground music that's constantly being interrupted by some kind of bleating goat doing a really bad Geddy Lee impersonation. Save yourself the trouble of sitting through it and just listen to our review instead. 

Ep 23: Phish 18.04.2021

"The guy that plays on a commercial is a really good guitar player too, it's not that big a deal." -John Stokes Don't forget to subscribe to R Cro's youtube where you can find all of the IIWT311? playlists. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCshjIlSoOy6AFoXGPUy8v3w/playlists

Brockhampton - Roadrunner: New Light New Machine REVIEW 14.04.2021

R Cro and Robo Slush try out a new format for doing album reviews. We reveal our new grading system (all mixed up - bad, beautiful disaster - fair, down - good, amber - great) and unfortunately good ol' Brockhampton didn't do to great, but that's OK, they're still pretty cool as far as I'm concerned. P.S. Sorry for berating you stupid fucking piece of shit 311 fans at the beginning of the review....
