In another Classic Review episode, we took a turn down the world of electronic music in our review of Random Access Memories by Daft Punk. This timeless, and very accessible, album deviates from the duo’s typical pattern of relying on sampling music from the 70s and 80s to achieve their sound. Instead, they opted to bring in some of the most influential musicians of that era and put them in a room with contemporary musicians and let the music flow, which Daft Punk then sampled to create this masterpiece that would be their final album. We hope you enjoy the video and will like and subscribe to the channel!

LIVE ALBUM REACTION: God Does Like Ugly by JID. We are both huge JID fans, so when he announced he would be dropping a new album three years after an amazing album in The Forever Story, we knew we had to do a live reaction. God Does Like Ugly is JID’s highly anticipated fourth studio album looking to solidify him as one of the most talented rappers in this new age of hip hop.

***Parker’s wifi connection was lacking so his video gets pretty choppy about halfway through and caused some minor challenges while recording so we apologize if it is distracting. The audio seemed to come through clear, however, so we hope you can still enjoy this live reaction of the album!

Gojira’s L’Enfant Sauvage is a classic of modern metal. It combines crushing riffs, complex rhythms, and philosophical depth into one heavy and captivating journey. In this episode, Parker listens to his first full metal album. Join him and Helaman through the wild, emotional, and earth-shaking world of L’Enfant Sauvage. We dive into the album’s reflections on freedom and change and explore how the band’s signature sound captures both brutality and beauty. Whether you're a metalhead or a newcomer, join us as we break down one of the most powerful and poetic records of recent metal history.

In each episode of off Track podcast, one brother introduces a favorite project to the other brother, who has never heard it all the way through.
