Is It Worse Than...

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?

  5. IS IT WORSE THAN JOHN LENNON?

    Part 5. Only one more to go. We finally made it to the... uh... what did they call John Lennon? The funny one? The goofy one? The abusive one? Probably that one. This guy really liked rock'n'roll and staying in bed. What's not to like. I couldn't see anything bad happening to somebody like that.

  6. IS IT WORSE THAN PAUL MCCARTNEY?

    Part 4 of our series will give you Wings! Like Red Bull, accept it's Sir Paul McCartney. He's a filthy stinking rotten monarchist, but he wrote Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time so nobody is upset about it.

  9. IS IT WORSE THAN GEORGE HARRISON?

    Part 2 of our senselessly deep dive of The Beatles. The quiet one. The spiritual one. The one who didn't get as many songs on The Beatle's albums. George Harrison. He made a video in the 80's where he sat in a room as the taxidermy and furniture around him danced around like some sort of pleasant...

  10. IS IT WORSE THAN THE BEATLES?

    Everybody knows who The Beatles are. They're the guys that invented modern rock, boy bands, guitar playing and LSD. Your dad wouldn't shut up about them when you were a kid. They're so great. Until you compare them quintessential 90's alt rock band 311 that is. In this six part series we will...

  13. IS IT WORSE THAN APRIL 2025

    Let's go Thunder Nuggets! Sports sports sports!!!

  14. IS IT WORSE THAN MARCH 2025

    LAST MONTH ROUND UP TIME! Was March 2025 worse than 311? Given that the world is falling apart probably, and the only way we know to cope with all of it is to make a list of ten albums we think you should know about. Like the new Will Smith album. IIWT top 10 list of March 2025 (in no particular...

    HAPPY 311 DAY!!! We cover all of some of the albums we cherrypicked from the whole month of February in this fine totally stressfree year of our Lord 2025.

  16. IS IT WORSE THAN JANUARY 2025

    It smells like something died in here.

  17. IS IT WORSE THAN 2024

  18. IS IT WORSE THAN OASIS?

    Anyway. Here's Wonderwall.

  19. IS IT WORSE THAN NOVEMBER 2024

    Remember November? I don't really either.

  20. IS IT WORSE THAN RIVAL CONSOLES?

    This episode is mostly just all of us talking simultaneously over each other while talking about The Joker.

  26. IS IT WORSE THAN STEREOLAB?

    This is an exact replica of an unreleased episode of Info Wars. For some reason it just happened to be about the band Stereolab and the possibility of them being worse than 311.

  27. IS IT WORSE THAN HIGH FIDELITY?

    Released in the year 2000 but forever stuck in the early 90's, High Fidelity finds John Cusack running a record store as he stalks and emotionally tortures every one of his ex's. Oh, and Jack Black is there too!

  28. IS IT WORSE THAN AUGUST 2024

    Smashing Pumpkins are the best band ever that isn't 311. I'm serious. Why would I say otherwise? August of 2024 only matters because of how good the new Smashing Pumpkins album is. No really. I only lie to make jokes and this isn't funny.

    BAAAAAAABY! BABYBABYBABYBABYWOOOOOOOOOOOOAH BABE!!! BABY! BABY! WOOOOOAH! *This episode contains sensitive subjects.

  30. IS IT WORSE THAN DAZED AND CONFUSED?

    Alright, alright, alright! It's movie night! We watched Dazed & Confused to help us get ready for our next episode when we listen to way too much Led Zeppelin. Just to be clear, Dazed & Confused is NOT School of Rock. In case that wasn't clear. They're different movies.

    Everything is worse than Robbin Williams the cocaine bear.

    Black Black Rain, goes to my head... It's movie night!!! And the movie is Black Rain. By Ridley Scott. Staring Michael Douglas. You know? It's got that UB40 song on the soundtrack. Not Red Red Wine. The other one. From Black Rain. From 1989. It's called Black Rain. No, not the Japanese movie, the...

  40. IS IT WORSE THAN JIMMY BUFFETT? Ep. 110

    Better late than never, I took a long nap on this episode before editing and releasing this one because Jimmy Buffett is exhausting.

  44. IS IT WORSE THAN GHOST? Ep. 109
