S6 – Ep 25 | 1986 Debuts, Review Math & Listening Habits

Let Us Know Your Thoughts!This week Craig and Kevin head to 1986 for two very different debut albums. Craig opens with the self-titled solo debut from Peter Case — the former Nerves/Plimsouls frontman's pivot from power pop to acoustic-leaning Americana, a record T-Bone Burnett helped shape into what The New York Times called the best album of the year. Kevin swings hard in the opposite direction with Zeno's self-titled debut, the melodic hard rock project fronted by Zeno Roth (younger brother of Uli Jon Roth) — all soaring harmonies, keyboard-driven hooks, and unmistakably German AOR muscle.From there, the guys dig into whether album reviews actually match the scores critics slap on them — do the words back up the number, or is something getting lost in translation? They close things out with a listening-habits edition of Dig It or Dump It.📱 Subscribe and/or follow us on your favorite streaming platform. 📩 Have a favorite 1986 debut or a listening-habits topic for a future Dig It or Dump It?
