Why I Hate this Album

This week was supposed to be a special after dark episode, but we picked the wrong song for that. We're discussing 50 Cent and his curiously clean single Candy Shop, released all the way back in 2009. Also in this prepisode music news of the weird, listener emails and we announce next week's album. In this episode we discuss Die Hard, drug dealers, nicknames, Jam Master Jay, House MD, candy, fear,...

This week we try our best to keep things light while we talk about the incredibly dark life and lyrics of Ted Nugent. Since none of his albums past 1981 are known to human ears we chose to do his greatest hits album Great Gonzos! The Best of Ted Nugent, released Nov. 8, 1981. In this episode we discuss accountability, over sharing, draft dodging, awakenings, spirochetes, swords, heists, accusation...

Merry clowning to all, and to all a good Faygo, another ICPissmas is upon us! This year we celebrate by discussing the ICP album Fearless Fred Fury, released February 15, 2019.

In this episode we discuss bathroom TVs, dirty money, Salacious Crumb, rats, bullies, world building, ghosts, bad gang names, big milk and so much more! Hatepod.com |...

This week we're talking about a tour instead of an album. In 1976 ZZ Top embarked on "The Worldwide Texas Tour", a completely insane idea that included buzzards, snakes and real livestock! Garrett has a solocast to tell you all about it! Tim will be back next week for our usual holiday celebration. Hatepod.com | TW: @AlbumHatePod | IG: @hatePod | hatePodMail@gmail.com  ICPissmas is coming 12/26   ...

This week we're finally doing our Keane episode! Specifically their song Somewhere Only We Know, released way back in 2004.

This week we decided to bring a touch of culture to the podcast by discussing some musical theater. Unfortunately we took suggestions from the listeners and picked Repo!

In this episode we discuss mascara, bad ideas, genetics, Pennywise, gothic carnivals, slumming i...

This week the October Spooktacular takes a weird turn. We're discussing the Stryper album To Hell With The Devil released Oct. 24, 1986.

In this episode we discuss minor crimes, the lord, montages, wings, denim vests, free will, tithing, the art of seduction, Satan, angel eyes...

This week our October Scare-tacular continues with the confusing and paranoid Rockwell single, Somebody's Watching Me released January 14, 1984. Is this a novelty song? Why is Michael Jasckon singing backup? Who is Rockwell? At least two of those questions will be answered! Also in this prepisode music news of the weird, listener emails and we announce next week's album. In this episode we discuss...

This week Tim and Garrett risk it all by discussing (in very respectful terms) the sophomore album by Olivia Rodrigo Guts, released Sept. 8, 2023. Hopefully the show is not destroyed by the millions of Olivia diehards out there, but given the amount of threats we have received since we announced the episode it isn't looking great. In this episode we discuss fear, failed dreams, theft, The Craft, D...

This week we wanted to talk about Seven Mary Three's debut studio album, but we didn't Google correctly so instead we're talking about their debut independent release Churn, released in 1994. If you know their 1995 release American Standard, Churn is the same album but worse. In this episode we discuss literature, mayhem, theft, emotional walls, lake corpses, cover stories, time travel, cults, hon...
