Episode 16: On Letting Go (Side B)
On this week's episode of The Listening Room we're finishing up On Letting Go by Circa Survive. Similar themes run through with...an acoustic led track? Just wait til you see how it ends! Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can contact Josh at [email protected], (617) 651-1116,...

Episode 15: On Letting Go (Side A)
On this week's episode of The Listening Room we're taking a look at a very distinct style of Post-hardcore with Circa Survive's On Letting Go. Reverb, Delay, Distortion, and vague lyricism abounds but it's just too good to overlook what was a pivotal experimental exercise in post-rock for my...

Episode 14: The Tain
On this week's episode of The Listening Room I delve into a little bit of neo-prog/art/indie rock (or something of the sort) with The Decemberists EP: The Tain. Can it really be called progressive if it's a callback to the 70s? I don't know, but it's good. Watch the music video for an overview of...

Episode 13: My Dinosaur Life (Side B)
On this week's episode of The Listening Room I finish off My Dinosaur Life, complete with a bit of a misstep, a lot of fun, a little darkness, and finally, an anthem of hope. Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can contact Josh at [email protected], (617) 651-1116, or on…

Episode 12: My Dinosaur Life (Side A)
I decided to lighten things up a bit with some pop-punk. Pop-punk is pretty light, right? Right? Well, it usually is but My Dinosaur Life by Motion City Soundtrack actually touches on some pretty heavy themes like addiction and reaping the rewards of a life wandering aimlessly, albiet with…

Episode 10.5: The Valley (Side A Pt 2)
So much to do, so little time. This week I'm stopping in at The Listening Room to look at the next 2 tracks on The Valley, "Sad" and "Oxygen Mask" for some contrasting themes on the album. Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can contact Josh at [email protected], (617)…

Episode 10: The Valley (Side A)
Calming it down a bit, this week we're taking a look at The Valley by Eisley. Does mellow songwriting translate into more breezy subject matter? Not really, I mean the album is called "The Valley" after all. Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can contact Josh at...

Episode 9: Meridional and a word on Metalcore
This week's genre is Metalcore, but the album I bring to the table is more of a personal choice rather than a pure example of the genre with Norma Jean's 5th album, Meridional. Yes, I'm actually able to cover the entire album this week, although I was suffering with a bit of allergies at the time...

Episode 8: Clarity (Side B)
Alright, it only took 3 weeks but this is the end of my look at Jimmy Eat World's Clarity, and my thoughts on the emo genre as a whole. Spoiler alert: I feel feelings. This episode covers tracks 6-13. Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can contact Josh at [email protected],...

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make a Hot Toddy
Not really an episode, just a quick explanation of why there's no episode this week. See you guys next time!

Episode 7: Clarity (Side A) and a brief history of "emo"
This week's episode begins with a short discussion on the merits and pitfalls of "emo". Where did the term come from? What does it mean, exactly? Isn't it just a flightless bird? After about 20 minutes of rambling I also start in on Jimmy Eat World's 3rd album, Clarity. This episode covers tracks...
-
Episode 6: The Bones of What You Believe and a word on melody
Moving right along to a completely different genre, today we look at CHVRCHES's debut: The Bones of What You Believe. Not that I listen to much (or hardly anything else) in the genre, but this is one of the finest little packages of synthpop songs I listen to. It may also be one of the closest...

Episode 5: Please Come Home
Coheed month is over, and now it's time for something completely different. The first album from Dustin Kensrue (of Thrice fame): Please Come Home. Country/Western/Folk/Acoustic? It's something like that. This episode covers the whole dang album. Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can...
-
Episode 4: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 (Side B)
At the end of Coheed month, Josh wraps up In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3; tracks 6-23. Did he like it? Well, it is a Coheed album, so you can guess. Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can contact Josh at [email protected], (617) 651-1116, or on Twitter @broccolope.

Welcome to Episode 3 of The Listening Room! Today Josh listens to Coheed & Cambria's 2nd album, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3. Can he finish it all in one episode? Of course not. He rambles, what did you expect? This episode covers tracks 1-5. Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can...

Episode 2: The Second Stage Turbine Blade (Side B)
At the second stage of The Listening Room, I finished up Coheed and Cambria's 1st album, The Second Stage Turbine Blade. This episode covers tracks 5-13 of the rerelease. Questions? Comments? Recommendations? You can contact Josh at [email protected], (617) 651-1116, or on Twitter...
