Zero prep. All gut.Next, they shift gears and dive into their albums of the week, spotlighting two underrated or overlooked records from 2010 — a year where indie exploded, pop got experimental, and some now-iconic acts were just getting started.Finally, the conversation winds into something more reflective: 🎤 What happens when artists disappear?

Let Us Know Your Thoughts!It’s Episode 20 and the Schizo boys are still going strong — and a little unpredictable. Craig and Kevin kick things off with another round of Either/Or Hot Seats, throwing ten rapid-fire choices at one another that force some tough (and occasionally absurd) musical decisions.From there, it’s time to rewind to 1991 — a year packed with genre-defining albums and seismic shifts in the music landscape. Naturally, Craig and Kevin each bring one underrated or overlooked record from the year that helped shape the ‘90s sound — without just playing the hits.And just when Kevin thinks the ride is winding down, Craig drops a surprise shuffle twist: 🎲 The AllMusic Album Shuffle — Kevin shuffles his library and selects five random albums.

Let Us Know Your Thoughts!Craig and Kevin flip the format this week, ditching the Schizo Shuffle and skipping the album cover battles — instead, they jump straight into the fire by putting each other on the hot seat with rapid-fire questions, unexpected prompts, and mildly uncomfortable musical truths.Once the flames settle, they spotlight two underrated or overlooked albums from 1987, offering a fresh listen to a year that gave us hair metal highs, alt-rock beginnings, and pop polish with bite.The conversation then turns introspective as they dive into the topic of music reviews — how they’ve changed from the golden days of Rolling Stone, Spin, and NME to today’s world of algorithm-fed opinions, YouTube reactors, and scores without context.Finally, Craig throws down a challenge for both hosts moving forward: 🎯 Spend more time outside your personal genre comfort zone — and review albums that wouldn’t normally make the rotation. The goal? Stretch the ears. Challenge the bias. Embrace the unexpected.📱 Subscribe and/or follow us on your favorite streaming platform 📩 Got an album outside your sweetspot we should review?
