ALBUMMER! 66: Pure Moods

As Albummer! goes on an indefinite hiatus we reflect upon what we learned listening to sixty-six critically reviled albums. Oh and we talk a little bit about Pure Moods but mostly we just riff. We love you.

The crew behind Two Minutes to Late Night are here to re-review some of the most critically reviled albums out there!

I'm so sad this is the last one but it's been quite the ride! Thank you so much for 66 episodes of hilarity. As someone famously said: SHOW GOOD

Love y'all! <3

Edit: "I was obsessed with the pissing baby. I was sweating, I wanted it so badly." lmao Lucie you rule, I'll miss you.

Say it ain't so! If the hiatus is permanent, then thank you all so damn much for dozens of hours of entertainment.

Here are some albums we might never see but would have been fun:

  • Mickey Unrapped, the Disney rap album
  • Mickey's Dance Party, for Goofy covering "Blue" if nothing else
  • Prime Time by Deion Sanders
  • Rockin' with Roseanne: Calling All Kids by Roseanne Barr
  • Adult Entertainment by Raffi
  • Mojo Priest by Steven Seagal
  • SMART KIDS by McGruff the Crime Dog
  • Conception by Peter Scott
  • Before You Knew My Name by Cowboy Troy
  • Xmas Party Album by Vengaboys
  • Space Jazz by L. Ron Hubbard
  • Any album by Bob Rivers, jesus that guy sucks

Hey, this show was cool as hell. I had a fantastic time despite skepticism early on. One of my favorite shows each week.

Now you can all join Katie Rose in the afterlife. *Unchained Melody theme from Ghost plays*

Gonna be real bummed if this is indeed the last Albummer. Thanks for all the laughs, and turning me onto the Macho Man rap album (which is such a fun listen) and the Metallica documentary

I love this show, happy to follow you guys with your other projects! 2M2LN, Gen Loss, Kump, Ghosts to Show You and hopefully I'm not missing anything (Ballin' out Super!).

66 episodes and all of them were great! Except the Good Charlotte one, the guest on that was a real dud.

Best of luck in the future <3

Really going to miss this if this is indeed the last episode. Been the most consistent thing on this site since the first episode (and I don't say to that slag on current GB, still a big fan of the site). Really hope you're able to continue this in some form, Wednesdays won't be the same without it.

I haven't gotten to enjoy this yet (still at work) but first I hear this is going on hiatus and now that Friday Night Forking is gone too. What is going on GB? Time to hang up my premium it looks like. Its been a good run GB, but your parent companies suck. Bakalar, please.

Absolutely tragic that this is the last episode for now. I really hope you guys can continue this show at some point, on this site or just as a standard podcast. This has easily been the best part of giant bomb the last couple of years. And there's a new metallica album coming soon, it would be some sort of crime for you guys to not talk about that. Hopefully albummer is back soon!

not sure why we're losing the best show on GB, but then again, i don't understand pretty much any of the decisions GB has been making in the last year or so.

aww nuts! i love this gang. i was a fan for 2MTLN before they were subsumed into Giant Bomb HQ (seriously, everyone go check out their shit cuz it's rad)- so it was a wonderful dream while it lasted.

despite the yuks and flim-flam, you approached each record with open ears and minds- and it was a hoot to suffer through with yall. hope to see you back soon! and shoutout to @jerf for getting it together in the first place!

Albummer has grown to be my favourite show on Giant Bomb.

Will definitely miss it and hope you guys find somewhere else to do something similar, if not here.

It's interesting how it works right; these parasocial relationships? Is interesting the right word? Sure it's one of them! Y'all have given me my biggest laughs of this year and last. Some would call that sad, I'm just glad, for the time we had.

Not only were you listening to a record and sharing your thoughts and feelings on it. You were telling us who you are at that moment. Almost like a dating video VHS thing about music you got paid to do. And we enjoyed watching.

Although I have learned so much about all of you fine hosts and people I for one have already seen every episode twice except this one atm and I literally could answer a large multitude of facts about all 5 of you.

RIP Katie

P.S. the song isn't called "Sadness" it's called "Sadeness", as in, like Sade. Like Marquis de Sade, a French novelist known for being a pervy dude who should have been cancelled, alleged scandal allegedly acknowledged.

Britney Spears - Toxic

I always brag about how dank my salads are. I get the salad mix from Aldi it's like $4, has a pound of good greens. Imagine how much nutrition I'm getting from - oh you don't give a horseshit about my food intake? Drew on, Drew on, Drew on till your Drew comes true.

Disgusting horse entrails discussion ahead. Do not read.

It's so ridiculous how Drew can just sit there and knowingly be a little shit eater about eating stupid shitty horses - I'm a vegan since 6/2017 btw, no horse required - but the literal first sentence Jordan speaks about not eating meat, Knuckles shuts it down immediately. Drew could have went on for 20 minutes about that inane stuff and we'd have to just grin and take. I say neigh.

Because why, eating horses is so taboo or something? Nah man. Meat eaters in 2022 are fucking freaks it wouldn't even shock me a little if Drew said he drank a placenta smoothie. If you're grinning and smiling about doing something you probably know it's wrong. Believe when I say as a vegan I rarely grin and smile. Because I know I'm right. So I know how much wrong there is. You can google vegan recipes and change your life overnight and it's not even changing your life it's just eating plants which you already do but now you'd do it more.

The ultimate defense against people who are choosing the moral high ground is to spit at their feet and say "Yea, well I don't give a shit. I'll do what I want, no matter what." That's what killers do... when they justify killing. What they're killing doesn't matter much to me.

The day I realized I'm a bad guy and I could be better if I did this one simple trick Doctors hate because they have less business because you're healthier. No longer a killer. Be proud of what you are. You support unnecessary death and killing. Say it out loud, not behind a steak.

Still love ya Drewbie.

Crazy decision to put this show on hiatus, this was the first podcast I would come to the site to listen to. I hope that this crew can appear on other shows on this site (Get Lucie, Drew and Emily on the voicemail dump-truck since Jeremy and Jordan have already done one, but also, invite Jeremy and Jordan back too!) but if not I'll check out whatever they do in the future if they have all of this cast together to just chat the shit.

Hey, I really enjoyed this show. It was consistently just a fun time. That bit towards the end where you all talk about finding things to appreciate in bad art was a great example of why I think I enjoyed the show so much. You almost always found ways to have constructive and interesting conversations about some of the stupidest albums ever, and that's pretty cool! Anyways, I hope you guys get renewed or something. That would be fantastic.
