Every once in a while, this project reminds us of the complexity of reviewing music. In this short mid-week episode, we talk about some of the factors we've learned so far about the ways that music challenges us.  Join us again on Saturday morning - we'll be back for our full review of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks! 

Baby, you may have been born to run, but we were born to podcast! The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, is up next on our journey through the 500 greatest albums of all time.  This is an album that we needed a Springsteen fan to join us for, and we got our friend Joel Weidner to hang out and talk Bruce for this one.  Rolling Stone has Born To Run slotted in as their 18th greatest album of all tim...

Here's part 2 of our lengthy conversation with Rob Jones about Nirvana's Nevermind album. You can hear that we clearly had more to say about a piece of music that came out during our lives... if you haven't listened to part 1, go back and do that now before you venture on with part 2! Rolling Stone named Nirvana's Nevermind as the 17th greatest album of all time. You can check out the full list ri...

For the first time in the short history of the Sound Logic Podcast, we have an album that came out during Ben and Mike's lifetime. Our guest today also falls into that category - our good friend Rob Jones, who happens to love this iconic Nirvana album. It turns out that we had more to say about a piece of music that came out during our lives... so much in fact, that we've broken down this album in...

Something is coming up this weekend that has us digging out our plaid shirts, ripped jeans, and dusting off our old CDs... yep, the 90s are back and we're taking on Nirvana! Ben accidentally brought up this next album on last week's episode with Chris Clements, and that took us down a high school memory lane with some thoughts as we approach this pivotal grunge album. Join us again on Saturday mor...

If you've always thought, "Mike and Ben need to review more Dylan albums", then this one is for you. Our friend (and newly-christened "Dylan expert") Chris Clements returns as our first guest to make a second-album appearance! Find out whether we like this one, the 16th episode on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the Greatest Albums of All Time .

Surprise! Here's a Friday episode for your listening pleasure. We had so much good stuff during our conversation for this weekend's review of Blood on the Tracks with Chris Clements that we've got a bonus Friday episode for you today. Do you remember dial-up internet? We sure do!

Last week while recording our review of Are You Experienced we got off on a side tangent about getting together this summer to record in person. Maybe you can help us out! Check out this short episode and let us know your thoughts. 

Are you experienced in the ways of Jimi Hendrix? Rolling Stone lists this debut album as the 15th greatest album of all time... listen to find out what we think! In this episode we tackle the album, but also bring up the misunderstood lyric website, KissThisGuy.com , and Ben's first guitar (which was built to imitate Jimi).  No special guests this time - just Mike and Ben, hanging out and tal...

Jimi Hendrix Experience's iconic debut album is #15 on Rolling Stone's Greatest Albums of All Time, and is up next on our album reviews coming up on Saturday morning. But check this out... did you know there are at least three different album covers? Depending on where in the world you lived, you would have had a very different looking album on the store shelf! Enjoy our extended look at Are You E...

We're back with one of our favorite bands. Check out our review of The Beatles' Abbey Road album, #14 on the countdown, and the fifth Beatles album on Rolling Stone's Greatest 500 Albums list! We're joined this weekend by our friend Ryan Drudge, a big enough fan of this album that he's got the album cover image TATTOOED ON HIS BACK! It's going to be great - we hope you like it! (and May the 4th be...

Do you do vinyl? Our friend (and regular listener!) Ryan Drudge is joining us this weekend when we talk about Abbey Road. In our midweek episode we discuss vinyl albums, and what a difference this old-school style of audio makes for the listener. 

We made it to #13 on Rolling Stone's greatest 500 albums of all time - an album that neither of us had ever heard before. So we put out a call for someone who might have some connection to this album, and our friend Bob Brown (a Mennonite minister and professional DJ - you can check out his music here ) answered that call. This is the fist debut album on the list, and its late-60s sound is definit...

On Saturday we'll be talking about The Velvet Underground, so we brought in a friend to help us out. Bob Brown is a Mennonite minister and professional DJ ( you can check out his music here ) - two things that don't often go together. In our midweek episode we meet Bob, and learn about his introduction to the Velvet Underground (and some other parts of his musical background). 

We needed a real expert to help us out with #12 on Rolling Stone's greatest 500 albums of all time - Miles Davis' iconic jazz album, Kind of Blue. We're thrilled to be joined by Jason Crane, host of the incredible (and long-running!) The Jazz Session podcast . This is the fist fully instrumental album on the list, and also our first jazz album, so this episode sounds and feels somewhat jazz-like (...

Sometimes even the greatest podcasters have a problem recording. Lesson learned, in this episode of The Sound Logic Podcast. In this episode we talk a little about that experience, and Ben reveals that he is a bit of a newbie when it comes to jazz music. We also meet our special guest...  We're joined this week, as we ramp up for Miles Davis' iconic Kind of Blue album (#12 on Rolling Stone's...

The King shows up at #11 on Rolling Stone's greatest 500 albums of all time . This is an interesting album - the first compilation on the list, made up of songs recorded early in Elvis' career; and also the earliest album we've covered so far. The real question is - was it sound logic to have it this high on the list? Tune in to find out!
