Some people accuse critics of being subjective, but when discussing music there's always one Platonic fact you can point to above and beyond the shifting tides of fashion and trend: does Mikey like it? In this case, yes, yes he does. He likes all four of this episode's albums. Pat, on the other hand? Still a bit bastardly. We kick the episode off with some reader comments and end it talking about '80s music and Joni Mitchell, so something for everyone.
