We discover that we have very different ideas about what it means to decompress, from when that process should begin to how it should end. Should decompression be energizing after a long day, or should it help us unwind? We debate what makes for a good decompression album and make it through multiple genres along the way.

Hosts: Dave Sandell & Caleb Gardner
