On today's episode of POD IS KILLING ME, we have arrived at the beginning of the band's peak era, the absolutely monumental and groundbreaking BLOODY KISSES! We discuss why it was such a Great Leap Forward for the band, as well as the album's reception by the public and the record label. Elsewhere, we talk about the musical climate of the time, the Beavis & Butthead effect, the difference between a cover and a parody, and introduce the show's first sponsor.We're splitting this and all subsequent albums into multiple episodes, as there is so much more for us to talk about with these, so stay tuned for part 2, where we'll dive into the full tracklist of this monster.We're also happy to report that Jeff's audio issues have been rectified, so this should should hopefully be a less grating listening experience.
