S5 - Ep 3 - Two Albums, One Year: 2014 – Sonic Overlooks, Shuffle Surprises & The Hype Problem

Craig and Kevin kick off a round of Two Albums, One Year, this time diving into the criminally overlooked corners of 2014. Each brings a handpicked album from that year they believe didn’t get the attention it deserved — and talk through what makes it worth rediscovering.

Next up, they spin the wheel on Shuffle Roulette, pulling 5 random tracks from their personal libraries and rating each other’s picks with a thumbs up, thumbs down, or the classic thumbs sideways for those “ehhh... not sure I know this one” moments.

They close out with a conversation on overhyped albums — how over-the-top critical acclaim or fan expectations can actually work against a band, and whether some albums ever really recover from that initial pressure.
