Description
Think some albums are too long? Us too! Don’t worry! We can do something about it. Join us as we critique albums from artists we love and edit them down to under 50 minutes. Can we make a good album a great one? Can we make an average album a good one? What songs will we pick? What will we drop? Will we include B-sides? Join us and our guests as we take the journey to Trim The Musical Fat!
