Breakdowns For Breakfast
Each episode we take a different album and do a full track by track breakdown on it. We talk about what we like and what we don't like. We tend to stay to music of the heavier variety but fan requests can throw us off of that sometimes. We talk about it like the two music nerds we are. We always put the music first, we tend to be goofy second.
