It was a tight race between Jane Doe and Animals, but the latter did come out ahead ever so slightly. I'm liking the former's odds next month though. Anyway, the stream will be on December 27 at 8PM EST (sorry to our European friends). We'll see y'all then; in the meantime, happy holidays!

OCTOBER LIVESTREAM ALBUM POLL (Also Date & Time)

Update: Thanks for voting! In Rainbows it is—again, October 23 @ 1PM EDT. Will make a post with the stream link a few hours in advance, so keep an eye out for that.

These albums are pretty much neck and neck, so let's settle on one this way. Regardless of the result, the stream should happen on Oct 23 at 1PM EDT.

OCTOBER LIVESTREAM | CLASSIC ALBUM SELECTION

It's that time—Let us know down below what classic album you'd like to be played and discussed during this month's livestream. Again, we'll lean towards the most recurrent submission. Thank you!

So far we've covered The Black Parade and Demon Days, so please don't use your vote on those. You can find VODs of them further down the page.

LET'S ARGUE: Yeezus Was 5 Years Too Early

Other topics include Vampire Weekend being nothing without Rostam, and Travis Barker's drumming talents being wasted on blink-182.

Thank you for your support here this month, and thanks for all the submissions to make this episode. We hope you enjoy it!

The stream starts tonight at 9PM ET; here's where it's happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mH0W4P0dWo

For those who can't watch live, I will reupload the VOD tomorrow the same way...

DEMON DAYS LIVESTREAM DATE & TIME

Thanks to everyone who suggested an album in the previous thread! As you can see, the clear winner was Demon Days. We'll listen to it next Thursday, September 26 at 9PM ET. I'll make a post here a few hours before the stream w/ the link, so keep an eye out for that.

Sorry once again to those of you in Europe; we promise some of these streams will be Euro-friendly! And it shouldn't take quite as long as last time to get y'all the VOD now that I know what to do.

SEPTEMBER LIVESTREAM - CLASSIC ALBUM SELECTION

Let us know down below what classic album (preferably not one Anthony has already reviewed) you'd like to be played and discussed during this month's livestream. We'll go with whichever one appears to be the most recurring; that seemed to work out last time. Thank you!

LET'S ARGUE: Jack Antonoff Is a Weak Producer

Other topics include Die Antwoord being ahead of the curve, and Anthony being the Roger Ebert of music.

Thank you to everyone supporting us here this month, as well as everyone who submitted their hot takes. We hope you enjoy the episode!

😤 LET’S ARGUE 😤 (September 2019 Thread)

Update 9/10: The episode has been shot and the rough cut is done. Thank you to everyone who wrote in! The vid should be up in the next couple of days.

You know what to do—Comment below with your HOT TAKES, UNPOPULAR OPINIONS, and TOUGH QUESTIONS. We'll look through all the responses a week from today.

But first, something decidedly agreeable—We are so thankful for your continued support, and if you're a newcomer we love ya too. The first month went about as sm...

The Black Parade Livestream Link

Update Here's the VOD: https://drive.google.com/open?id=18hdBX2yJYo8nWElxE3IZYib-a2t0nhEp

Here's the link a few hours in advance so y'all can set a reminder and all that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cs0J0VKHWs

Livestream Tomorrow at 9PM EST

We’ll post a link to the stream around that time, so be on the lookout for that.

Sorry for the very America-centric start time for this one. This is not how it will always be decided, but the popular vote seemed like the way to go this time.

Actually, let's do a poll for the livestream start time.

As said in the previous post, noonish is ideal for Anthony, but that may not work for many of you. Let us know if you'd rather keep the stream midday or push it back into the evening. Regardless, the stream will be on the 28th.

August Livestream Date

The stream will be on the 28th and will start at either noon or 1PM EST. We'll have to confirm that a little closer to the date, but for now, that's the day and estimated start time. The Black Parade won the poll, so that'll be the featured album (sorry, Tool fans).

It's going to be done as an unlisted YouTube stream and we'll keep the VOD for anyone who isn't able to tune in live. Anthony will also be recording his voice separately in case the VOD gets blocked due to copyright. That di...

The Black Parade vs. Ænima Livestream Poll

These are the two clear frontrunners in yesterday's thread, so let's just go ahead and narrow it down now.

AUGUST LIVESTREAM - CLASSIC ALBUM SELECTION

Let us know down below what classic album (preferably not one Anthony has already reviewed) you'd like to be played and discussed during this month's livestream. We'll go with whatever one appears to be the most recurring, but if this method is inconclusive we'll start using polls instead. The stream time and date should be announced next week. Thanks!

LET'S ARGUE: Kidz Bop Writers Are Lyrical Geniuses

Other topics include Abbey Road's production techniques being outdated, and Quentin Tarantino's soundtracks aging better than his films.
