Breakdowns For Breakfast
A weekly music podcast hosted by Danger and Monster, where they provide track-by-track analyses of albums, typically focusing on "heavier" music. Each episode they take a different album and do a full track by track breakdown on it. Everything that is referenced in a song gets a sound clip for support. The hosts dissect and argue over one album per episode, discussing what they like and dislike. While they favor heavier genres, they cover fan requests, whether it is an album or a soundtrack. They talk about it like the two music nerds they are. The music comes first but the sillies are not far behind.
