Welcome to the Great Albums podcast. I'm Bill. I'm Brian. Is what Brian would say if you were here,

but he's away on vacation. I'm Jeff, Great Albums podcast blogger and bin diver.

Actually, I'm Brian, and I am here. My travel plans, I was supposed to be traveling this weekend.

So we had Jeff come in, and then kind of they got canceled

last minute. So I decided to actually show up for the podcast today. But I'm still here. So you

get three hosts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we turn in a pretty good episode. What are we talking about

this week, Jeff? This week's album is both great and bad by Michael Jackson.

As I came into the room, was a sound... What we do here every week on the podcast is take an album of music and talk about what makes it great.

We try to have the conversation around the music that fans do, and then we cap it all off with a track-by-track review in which we talk about the things that we like about the songs and the things we think are cool while listening to them.

We are not going to do it alone, though.

Not only do we have three hosts here today, but we also have a guest joining us, and it is a longtime contributor to the podcast.

He's not really that important, but we can skip over.

Five-timer.

Yeah, this is going to be his fifth appearance on the podcast, and it's my bandmate Andrew Colbenschlag.

Yes.

Which I'm really excited that he finally got to join us once again.

Yeah, it's been two years, basically. I can't believe that it's

been that long since he's been on, because it feels like, you know, we're right at the beginning

of the podcast still. You know, we're three years in now, but it still feels pretty early. And I'm

really glad because Andrew moved a while ago out to California. We talk about that a little bit on the podcast.

And he's back in town this week, so we wrangled him up to join us for a massive album

November episode.
