Corey and Kevin are back to cover Side B of 1996’s “Load” as they continue their deep dive into 90’s Metallica. The boys weren’t universally in love with Side A and the next three songs contain two singles and a doomy 8 minute dirge. Will the poppier stylings of Hero of the Day work for Kevin and is Corey a Black Sabbath fan who is going to be turned on (musically, you sickos!) by the oppressive w...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about the next album in our dive into 90s-era Metallica. That’s right, we’re talking about Load; the 79 minute marathon of grunge, blues, hard rock, and a very small sprinkling of heavy metal. What will Kevin think of the opening track-ah and is Metallica treading into Soundgarden’s backyard going to float Corey’s boat on Side One? The only way to find out is to tu...

Corey and Kevin wrap up the biggest-selling album in Metallica’s career. Yep, it’s Side D of “The Black Album” today folks!.  It’s the first side of the album without a recognizable banger but will Corey continue to find gold in James’s lyrics? Will Kevin be panning for pyrite in Lars’s rhythmic stylings? Will God fail? And how will the boys sum up the Black Album and what will its final rati...

Corey and Kevin are back to cover Side C of “The Black Album” as they continue their deep dive into 90’s Metallica.  We’re getting a big one on this side; Metallica’s highest-selling non-live single in Switzerland no less! We also talk about James’s lycanthropic ditty and the concept concert movie released in 2013 titled after a song on this side of the album. Will Corey like werewolves and m...

Corey and Kevin are back to cover Side B of “The Black Album” as they continue their deep dive into 90’s Metallica. Kevin is coming around to James Hetfield as a lyricist but what will he think of two six-plus minute songs? Will Corey be as hot on this side of the album as he was on side B and what will the consensus be on the second side of an album that went 16 times platinum in the US alone! Th...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about 90s-era Metallica. Corey loves the black album. Kevin is coming in very much thinking he doesn’t. Will he be able to get past James Hetfield’s vocal delivery styla-ah! Will he find something he likes in Kirk or Jason’s playing. Is he even going to mention the percussionist in the band and will Corey bring it up? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in...

IT’S OVER! Season One is in the bag and Scott Haskin quizzes us a little more on trivia, we hear which songs Corey and Kevin would pick to make their ultimate album from the songs they've covered this season and finally, we find out which artist our intrepid duo will be covering next season. And folks, it couldn’t be that much further from Phil Collins-era Genesis. Will Corey admit that prog ain’t...

Corey and Kevin are back to wrap up the last record Phil Collins made with Genesis, “We Can’t Dance”. There's weak, ooh and there's strong… songs on this side of this album. The last side of the album features lyrics written by each of the members of the trio including one about Eric Clapton! Will Kevin appreciate the blue sky and the red sky? Will the lights fade for Corey or burn brightly as the...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about the third side from the last album in the Phil Collins era of Genesis; 1991’s, We Can’t Dance. If Randy Woods were to title this episode, he’d probably call it “Two Collins and one Banks” or possibly, “why are you asking me to title episodes of a podcast I don’t appear in?” Fair enough Randy, fair enough! Side C sees rock stars complaining about war, fad diet...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side two of We Can’t Dance. We get into some pretty heavy conversation about car crashes and their aftermath in this episode, so if you’re sensitive to this subject please skip to 55:23. What will our intrepid duo think of the pops and whizzes of I Can’t Dance? Will there ever be a time to release six singles from one album? The only way to find out is to tur...

Corey and Kevin are back to start the last album in the Phil Collins era of Genesis; 1991’s, We Can’t Dance As this is a double vinyl record, we’re breaking it up into four episodes. Side on starts out with two singles before concluding with the only “long song” that Phil Collins wrote lyrically. We’re heading back to real drums, we’re talking about God, and we’re going to have a damn good time do...

Invisible Touch - Side Two Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side two of blockbuster seventh album of the Phil Collins era, Invisible Touch. Discussions about Benny Hill, an almost eleven minute two song suite, and a bikini wax are just some of the things you have to look forward to, but will Corey rank side two as highly as side one and what will Kev have to say about the last Genesis instru...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side one of the gigantic 1986 hit, Invisible Touch. The band embarked on an equally gigantic tour on the back of the album which culminated with four shows at the iconic Wembley Stadium. We’re talking drums machines, we’re talking synths, we’re talking pop hits and puppets! Will Corey be underwhelmed by Tonight, Tonight, Tonight and what will Kev have to say...

Genesis - Side Two Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side two of the Genesis, Genesis. So good they named it twice? Is there a problem with Illegal Alien? Is it gonna get better? And if so, what does it start with? Is side two going to live up to side one’s standards and if not, why not? Maybe the assassin can tell us, but the only real way to find out is to turn on, tune in, chicken out! Don...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side one of the band’s eponymous triumph; Genesis. Whoever would have thought that using the word Mama in a song would work? Well, Phil Collins was unconvinced in 1978, but by 1983 had come around 180 degrees and wrote an entire song around the word. What will Corey think of the eleven plus minute Home By The Sea suite? Will Kevin complain about the use of a...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side two of Abacab. We have to talk about “that song” don’t we? Also, Corey finds out that Siri is no friend of Kevin’s, or maybe Kevin’s ridiculous accent is just getting in the way! Will Corey ballyhoo one of the worst songs ever recorded, by anyone, ever, and will Kevin lick any dildos (this will make sense if you listen to the episode, honestly)? The only...

Abacab - Side One Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side one of 1981’s Verse, Chorus, Verse, Bridge, Verse Chorus, Abacab. The band were booed by the prog rock faithful on the subsequent tour but it was a step closer to the commercial success they would enjoy throughout the rest of their career. Will Kev be on board with this new direction and will Corey appreciate the lone Tony Banks-penned...

Duke - Side Two Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side two of 1980’s Genesis’ last true progressive rock album, Duke. The trio blaze into the top ten with the side two opener, Turn It On Again, before ending with the epic 11 minute Duke’s Travels / Duke’s End piece. Will Corey be curious about the fractured Duke suite? Is Kev going to start sulking now that the prog odyssey is pretty much ove...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side one of 1980’s Duke, the last album to be co-produced by David Hentschel and an abandoned attempt at a prog concept album. How will Kev react to the turn toward more pop-based fare on side one? What will Corey think of the original version of Behind The Lines? How would In The Air Tonight have turned out if it had ended up on the album? Some of these...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side two of …And Then There Were Three… A first top ten hit for the band, the first album of the Collins era to feature six songs, and a whole lotta Tony Banks. But what does it all mean? Where will the album land compared to the two we’ve already covered? Will Corey finally break free of the prog days? Are all his fears are drifting by him so slowly now, fad...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side one of And Then There Were Three… Steve couldn’t hack it (see what I did there?) so moving forward, there are only three members of the band (see what THEY did there?) Is Corey going to love the Tony Banks contributions? Is Kevin finally going to criticize a song in this catalogue? Well, there’s only one way to find out and that’s to turn on, tune in, an...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side two of Wind and Wuthering, which means there aren’t as many words to talk about given that two of the five tracks are instrumental! Will Corey follow Tony Banks on a rodentical rollercoaster ride? Will Kevin ever stop banging on (pun intended) about Phil Collin’s drumming, and how will the boys rate side two? We’re going to end up with our second complet...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side one from the second album in the Phil Collins era of Genesis. Described by Tony Banks as the band’s most romantic album, Steve Hackett is back in full force. Wot (get it?) will Corey think of the instrumental that closes side one? Will Kev bang on and on about Phil Collins’ drumming ability and which song will come out on top for the boys on a seriously...

Corey and Kevin are back to talk about side two from Trick of the Tail, the first Genesis record in the Phil Collins era. Has the band abandoned its prog roots yet? Can Phil Collins be trusted with weighty material like Ripples? What will Corey think of the story in Trick of the Tail and will Kevin have good things to say about the Side Two opening track or will he follow the generally-accept...
