Schizophrenic Music
A genre-jumping, decade-spanning music podcast where Craig and Kevin riff, rank, and occasionally roast their way through underrated albums, ridiculous matchups, and unexpected playlists.
Expect deep cuts, rapid-fire games, trivia twists, and the ever-growing series: “The Soundtrack to…”. Zero rules. Just riffs.
The Schizophrenic Music Podcast isn’t just a show — it’s a platform for sonic disobedience and musical pluralism.

S5 - Ep 19 - Hot Seats, 1987 Deep Cuts & Rethinking Music Reviews
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Craig and Kevin flip the format this week, ditching the Schizo Shuffle and skipping the album cover battles — instead, they jump straight into the fire by putting each other on the hot seat with rapid-fire questions, unexpected prompts, and mildly uncomfortable musical truths.
Once the flames settle, they spotlight two underrated or overlooked albums from 1987, offering a fresh listen to a year that gave us hair metal highs, alt-rock beginnings, and pop polish with bite.
The conversation then turns introspective as they dive into the topic of music reviews — how they’ve changed from the golden days of Rolling Stone, Spin, and NME to today’s world of algorithm-fed opinions, YouTube reactors, and scores without context.
Finally, Craig throws down a challenge for both hosts moving forward:
🎯 Spend more time outside your personal genre comfort zone — and review albums that wouldn’t normally make the rotation. The goal? Stretch the ears. Challenge the bias. Embrace the unexpected.
