The Hunt for the Perfect Album

What makes a “perfect” album? Does such a thing even exist? Let the hunt begin!

Now, kids, once upon a time, many moons ago, when streaming services were just a dream Steve Jobs had after eating too much cheese before bed; we listened to music in carefully curated lists that the artists had painstakingly put together in such a way as to take the listener on an emotional journey. These lists were hard coded onto disks of vinyl, or recorded onto magnetic tape in little plastic cases. We called these magical items “albums”. In the before times you couldn’t skip tracks, or (god forbid) put the album on shuffle. That would have been like watching the scenes of a movie out of order. Madness. On this show Billy and Dave celebrate the magic of a day gone by, challenging each other week to week with an album that one of them thinks is “perfect”, and has zero skippable tracks; which the other has never listened to before.

What’s in the tin?

Each week the boys take turns assigning each other an album to listen to. An album they think is perfect. Every track a winner. After a week they report back and deep dive into the album, dissecting it from top to tail. What did they like? What didn’t work for them? And ultimately, did the artist achieve that elusive Holy Grail of the “perfect album”?
