On this week's episode, Matt and Ryan kick off Black History Month by reviewing Stevie Wonder's Innervisions. This album is regarded as the final transition point that moved Wonder from "Little Stevie Wonder" into a more musically mature artist. Boasting massive singles such as "Higher Ground" and "Living for the City," the record saw tremendous success, including winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1974. Check out what the guys have to say about the album!

On this week's episode, Matt and Ryan get ready for the Super Bowl by diving into Bad Bunny’s 2022 Un Verano Sin Ti. Following the massive success of his first three albums, this record made history as the first Spanish-language album ever nominated for the Grammy for Album of the Year. Check out what the guys have to say about this groundbreaking release!

Correction Note: In this episode, Ryan translated "Un Verano Sin Ti" as "A Sunday Without You." After double-checking, the actual meaning is "A Summer Without You." Our apologies for the mix-up! Please keep that in mind as you listen to the breakdown.
