Hello, it's the album years again. Yes, we're back as the world turns to shit. You can always rely on us to talk bollocks about lots of music that no one cares about anymore except us and hopefully the people that are listening to us. So Tim, we're talking about 1998. Is that right?

0:36.1

1998, yeah, this is hip by our standards.

0:38.7

This is only 22 years ago.

0:40.8

This is pretty with it, isn't it?

0:42.3

Yes, for us, yes.

1:18.8

less that we like as the decade goes on. But then I remembered at the time that, you know, was pretty great. 93, 94 had some fantastic releases.

1:33.2

So for whatever reason, 1992, in terms of what it had to offer, didn't really appeal to us.

1:33.8

And sometimes I wonder if it was kind of, you know, it was the year that we were sort of
