Stay ConnectedStereo Confidential investigates the music world. From the landmark, to the underrated, to the downright bizarre, Chris, James and Michael aim to uncover the artists, albums, songs, and moments that have made music what it is. Show will take the form of mini-series and case-of-the-week episodes.
Previously the award-winning Modern Vinyl Podcast.
In honor of hitting episode 182 of The Modern Vinyl Podcast, the crew talks blink-182 and more specifically attack this question: Since untitled is clearly their peak, what's the band's second best album? In this conversation we also talk the band's more controversial early work, how we should look at that work, and much more. It's the blink-182 dissection you sorely need in a week where Brand New released the most anticipated album in the punk scene from the past 5+ years.
