What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I made my way here via Stateofamorica to listen to your Crowes reviews, stayed for the rest of the party. I love the technical insight as well as the nostalgia. Don’t always agree, but always enjoy! Great pod!!

Aaron and Lou (with their wealth of regulars and guests) deliver excellent deep dives into rock’s greatest and most revered albums. I have never heard a bad episode of this show. A must for any fan of rock music.

I learned of R4 a few weeks ago and I’m enjoying the large back catalog. I like that there are both long and short podcasts for my different commutes or household chores. I like how they review an album and have a clip for every song, thus jogging my memory of it. On most other podcasts, they have a clip of only 2-3 songs. I don’t always agree with the rating, but that’s what makes music discussions great. My only really mild complaint is that there are too many unnecessary F words, especially in the solo shows. They seem forced and out of place as opposed to being in conversation. Lastly, has anyone told Aaron he sounds just like Rick Beato, who has some great musical content on YouTube? I thought it was him when I started listening to the podcast. Awesome show! 5 Stars.

Dan S. from Palos Hills · Jun 2022

Very well done. They review a wide variety of music and have opened my ears to some new old music I never listened to or haven’t listened to in years. Great panel of guests who are very knowledgeable. Keep em coming guys and great job.

I like these type of shows and when they review a record I love I will listen. But the thing I hate about this show I the way the host and some of the guests read a prewritten scripted review off his screen . They don’t even try to make it sound authentic. I like more spontaneous conversation that’s why I listen to podcasts. It’s almost better to just read the Wikipedia page. Lose the essay!
