S5 - Ep 16 - 1992 Album Gems + Shuffle, Ratings & Either/Or Throwdowns

Craig and Kevin rewind to 1992, a year where grunge officially cracked the mainstream, hip-hop kept evolving, and alternative rock started to take over the airwaves. True to form, they each bring one overlooked or underrated album to the table — records that might’ve been drowned out by the buzz of the big hitters, but still pack a serious punch.

Then it’s time for another round of the Schizophrenic Shuffle, where Craig and Kevin trade five randomly shuffled tracks from their personal libraries, listen during the week, and return to slot them into three categories:

🎧 Highlight – The undeniable banger
🪞 Reminder – A song that sparked memory
🚪 New Introduction – A track they hadn’t spent time with… until now

Next, they heat things up with Rate This, where one host throws a band, album, or concept at the other and demands a quick-fire 1–10 rating — no explanations required (until the shouting starts).

They follow that up with the classic head-to-head game: Either/Or, album edition. Ten rounds. Two choices. One survivor. And zero fence-sitting.

Then, Craig caps off the episode with the album cover challenge, but this time all coming from albums released in 1992.  Kevin chooses not the best, but the worst!

It’s 1992 through the Schizo lens — unpredictable, opinionated, and full of deep listening energy.
