Only The Lonely - Frank Sinatra: Episode 210
Ol' Blue Eyes is crooning his way onto the podcast this week! We're reclining by the fireside, tie loose, scotch in hand, and listening as Frank Sinatra sings for Only The Lonely. It's Connor's first crack at the Year Of Redemption; James scored Sinatra's Watertown years ago (and he was pretty harsh). Will this ballad-laden, melancholy album raise the stakes and earn the Chairman Of The Board a better score? We'll talk about his rise, demise, and resurgence, get lost in Sinatramania, and evaluate his salary as his career cemented itself as the stuff of legends. The Mixtaper squares off against Connor once more with facts about too much cheesecake, a high-profile kidnapping, and a string of infamous karaoke killings you have to hear to believe! Give me one for my baby and one score for the road...

The Beach Boys Today! - The Beach Boys: Episode 209
Welcome to the Year Of Redemption! Throughout the year we'll revisit artists we've covered in the past who have received lower scores than we expected and see how their other work compares. Up first is The Beach Boys! After Pet Sounds (Episode 29) failed to meet Connor's expectations, James decided to step a little farther back in time with The Beach Boys Today! It was a pivotal moment of growth for the band and for Brian Wilson as they expanded past the teen surf pop of their early days. One half is full of peppy coming-of-age pop tunes, while the other features heart-aching ballads. The Mixtaper has new facts about Brian Wilson's 8-ton sandbox, a crappy dinner, and a legendary surf duel. Get ready for the band's signature harmonies and inspired instrumentation, and ask yourself...
