Chris and Scott take a trip back to the year 2000, when everyone thought that a computer glitch was going to take down humanity.

We put 16 legendary debut albums in a bracket to determine which one will be the Last Record Standing.

In the first volume of our new album tournament, Scott and Chris go matchup by matchup, debating these classic debuts:

The Cars vs. Van Halen
The Go-Go's vs. Duran Duran
Rage Against the Machine vs. Stone Temple Pilots
Nirvana vs. Pearl Jam
Oasis vs. Weezer
Silverchair vs. Foo Fighters
Arcade Fire vs. The Killers
Interpol vs. The Strokes

Some choices are easy. Others require eliminating albums we love. By the end, only one debut record remains.

Watch the tournament unfold, then tell us in the comments: What would your Final Four be, and which debut album would win your bracket?

In this episode of Personal Records, Scott and Chris take a deep dive into HUM, the Illinois space-rock band behind You'd Prefer an Astronaut, Downward Is Heavenward, and Inlet.

We talk about the band's massive guitar sound, sci-fi imagery, emotional weight, cult following, and why HUM still feels bigger than their mainstream reputation suggests.

From "Stars" to Downward Is Heavenward to the band's unexpected return with Inlet, this is a conversation about a band that made heavy music feel atmospheric, strange, sad, and enormous.

If you're into 90s alternative rock, shoegaze, post-hardcore, space rock, or guitar bands that sound like they're broadcasting from orbit, this one is for you.
