In this week’s episode, Matt and Ryan look at the 1991 Self-titled LP by Metallica. This album saw the group taking a sonic pivot away from their thrash metal roots and shifting into a more melodic hard rock style. This spawned tracks that have become staples in the metal/hard rock scene: Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, and The Unforgiven. Ultimately this album divided the fan base because of the sonic pivot and what came afterwards with releases like Load, Reload, and St. Anger. Join the guys this week to see what they have to say about this iconic album.

In this week's episode, Matt and Ryan review the third solo studio album by Peter Gabriel. This album is self-titled but referred to as Melt due to its album art. Building off of his previous album, Peter experiments on this album with different genres: post-punk, new wave, and art rock. Ryan has never listened to anything by Peter Gabriel and Matt has never listened to this album from start to finish. So both hosts are embarking on a new experience with this episode.
