Jukebox Zeroes

Lilz Martin and Patrick Barry are not music journalists, and are wholly unqualified to conduct criticism of albums that have been infinitely more successful than they could ever hope to achieve. They’re just two local musicians from Massachusetts who have a strange fascination with bad music. From The Shaggs to Attila to Threatin, share their love on Jukebox Zeroes, the podcast that takes a retrospective look at historically-hated albums.

087 - Mariah Carey - Glitter (with Scott Kurland)

October 3, 2022 • 98 mins
R&B singer/songwriter Mariah Carey enjoyed a prolonged period of critical and commercial success throughout the 90s, during which she enjoyed multiple Billboard Hot 100 hits and sold millions upon millions of records. The 00s on the other hand were a brief stumbling point for the legendary performer; her involvement in the 2001 box office bomb Glitter and its subsequent soundtrack made her a polarizing and controversial figure, and...

On this very special(?) episode of Jukebox Zeroes, Lilz and Patrick with special return guest Aimee Hauthaway have opted to close out season 5 by listening to Sex And Violins by Rednex.

You know, Rednex?

The "Cotton Eye Joe" guys?

Why are they doing this?

Isn't that the question of the day.

085 - Christian Rock Roundup (with Ashley Rogers & Shane Smith)

July 27, 2022 • 129 mins
Christian Rock. A phenomenon in which the iconically American genre of music is used as a tool for evangelizing, preaching, or otherwise sharing christian religious beliefs. Though christianity had long opposed the "devil music" that was rock and roll, sometime around the late 1960s and early 1970s, former hippies who had turned to Christ discovered that they could use rock music as a means of spreading their gospel. Though many ol...

June 28, 2022 • 96 mins
Fresh after the release of Pink Floyd's mega-selling concept record The Wall, Roger Waters had plans to release a companion piece record to accompany the film adaptation of the famed album. The project was to be titled Spare Bricks, and consist of songs written for The Wall that didn't make the final draft, but Waters abruptly switched directions with the arrival of the Falkland Islands conflict. Waters already was no fan of then p...

083 - Falling In Reverse - Fashionably Late (2013) (with Jacob Russell)

June 11, 2022 • 136 mins
Meet Ronnie Radke. Formerly the lead singer of the legendary metalcore act Escape The Fate, his tenure in the group was cut short after assault charges landed him in prison, and expelled from the band. Undaunted, Radke would form his own project upon leaving jail, known as Falling In Reverse, which followed a similar metalcore style as Escape had, but the central creative process was entirely Radke's. Though he would go on to attra...

082 - Steely Dan - Two Against Nature (2000) (with Steve Borek)

May 24, 2022 • 95 mins
In 2001 several revolutionary albums stood nominated for Album Of The Year at that year's Grammy Awards. Important records by Radiohead (Kid A), Eminem (The Marshall Mathers LP), and Beck (Midnite Vultures), all of which would go on to great acclaim and influence to new generations of musicians who discovered them. The conventional wisdom was that one of these three albums would take home the grand prize of the evening, but events ...

080 - Steven Seagal - Songs From The Crystal Cave (2005) (with Mario Boiardi)

April 12, 2022 • 140 mins
Before famed musician Steven Seagal committed his musical genius upon the world, you may be surprised to learn that he also was an actor in action films like Under Siege, Hard To Kill, Above The Law, and On Deadly Ground. You may also learn that he was formerly a Navy SEAL, a CIA agent, and an Aikido master. (You will likely know this because he's made mention of it any and all chances he gets.)

It's shocking, but all true! Before t...

079 - V/A - Batman Forever: Music From The Motion Picture (1995) (with Danesha Artis)

March 10, 2022 • 105 mins
The 1995 motion picture Batman Forever marked the 3rd entry in the first cinematic universe of the titular DC Comics superhero. While previous entries had been directed by Tim Burton, Forever found Burton in a producing role instead, with directorial duties falling to Joel Schumacher. In contrast to the dark and macabre direction Burton took the film series, Schumacher found inspiration in the camp 1960s Batman TV show, to mixed cr...

February 21, 2022 • 128 mins
In 1967, The Beatles released their 8th studio album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, a record that has been considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Heavily influenced by The Beach Boys' record Pet Sounds a year earlier, Sgt. Pepper was renowned for its' innovative style of production, adept fusion of multiple styles of music, and has been credited with bridging the gap between contemporary pop/rock and high art. ...

077 - Hanson - Middle Of Nowhere (1997) (with Rock Candy)

January 27, 2022 • 129 mins
Okay. Funny story.

Originally we set out to give a fair critical and retrospective shake to Middle Of Nowhere, the 1997 full-length debut from Tulsa, Oklahoma act Hanson. The record most famous for the pop rock mega-hit "MMM Bop", it was a critical smash and a commercial powerhouse that sold over 10 million albums worldwide, but somehow never quite translated to artistic credibility down the line for the then teenaged band.

Singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette is indelibly linked to the 1990s. Her commercial breakthrough Jagged Little Pill remains a vital piece of pop culture from the decade, in addition to selling millions of copies worldwide, earning widespread critical acclaim, and heralding a wave of successful female pop-rockers. The likes of P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Shakira, and many others have cited Morissette and J...

Todd Rundgren has a long and storied history of musical innovation throughout his storied career. In addition to producing a slew of famed records from Meat Loaf, XTC, and The New York Dolls among others, Rundgren is responsible for pioneering the notion of the one-man band via his music, producing and performing every facet of his projects. This has extended to his embrace of new technology, having created several of the first int...

November 5, 2021 • 80 mins
For the first decade of their career, Judas Priest was best known as a prototypical innovator of the then fledgling genre of heavy metal, heralded as pioneers by those in the scene, but largely unknown to wider audiences. That all changed by the 1980s, when the band shot to major commercial success on the backs of songs like "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", "Breaking The Law", and "Living After Midnight." Over time the band would...

October 12, 2021 • 96 mins
Before conquering the world of disco music in the 1970s, The Bee Gees were better known for their blend of soft rock/easy listening throughout the UK. In their formative years in the 1960s the group maintained a comfortable grip on the UK Singles chart, with high-ranking singles like "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "To Love Somebody", and "I Started A Joke."

This commercial dominance very nearly came crashing down in 1969, with t...

As with most acts who experienced their greatest triumphs in the 1960s and 1970s, the Beach Boys stumbled embarrassingly and ungracefully into the 1980s and beyond. The lushly orchestrated and deeply emotional chamber pop of Brian Wilson was long in the rear view mirror, as the group's former lead songwriter and arranger found himself detached further and further from the rest of the Beach Boys, undergoing infamous and controversia...

UK act The Prodigy made a name for themselves in the 1990s through their distinct style of electronic music, which introduced raucous punk rock energy to the subgenres of hardcore techno and rave music, and also introduce the world to the sound of big beat music. In spite of their success in the 90s however, the group stumbled entering the 00s, debuting an infamous single in 2002, "Baby's Got A Temper", which was roundly rejected b...

During his 18-year career as a musician, Don Van Vliet, better known by the moniker of Captain Beefheart, never experienced major levels of commercial success.

As the 1990s came to a close, so too went the commercial viability of Britpop music. What was once a sales juggernaut in the UK and a well-regarded if obscure staple of alternative rock in the US gradually began to die out as musical tastes changed with the times. Blur, one of the biggest acts of this movement, took the opportunity to disappear for a little while, with lead singer Damon Albarn engaging in the highly successful coll...
