Released on this day in 2011, Joe's #albumoftheweek, El Camino by the Black Keys, was one of the best rock albums released that year.

Sean’s #albumoftheweek is Beastie Boys Anthology: The Sounds of Science. Released on this day in 1999, Sean received it for X-Mas that year

Beastie Boys Anthology: The Sounds of Science is an amazing encapsulation of the bands career up to that point that is thorough without being overly indulgent

October 31, 2025 at 3:42 PM
Released on this day in 1997 Joe’s #albumoftheweek is Around the Fur by the Deftones

Their 2nd LP, this album laid the blueprint for all the alt-metal that followed. Highlighted by My Own Summer (Shove It) & Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) this is Joe's favorite Deftones album & it's not really close
