On this week’s episode of Hey, Listen to This!, Matt and Ryan dive deep into Mitski’s latest LP, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me. Mitski continues to solidify her reputation as one of this generation’s most vital songwriters, blending devastatingly intimate lyricism with a bold expansion of her sonic palette. We break down how the album balances themes of domestic stagnation and the quiet anxiety of stability, all while exploring the shift toward more organic, folk-influenced arrangements paired with her signature orchestral swells. Is this a new peak for Mitski, or a transitional moment in an already storied career? Tune in to hear our full breakdown and see where this one lands in the discography.

This week, Matt and Ryan are stepping away from the track-by-track deep dives to see how much they actually remember from over 100 episodes of reviews. Jamie has officially taken over the studio, designing a game inspired by the React YouTube series.

The challenge? Identifying artists and songs exclusively from the archives of our past shows. Joining the fray is Rachel, acting as the ultimate wildcard contestant. Can she swoop in and play spoiler in this game?

From the genius of Purple Rain to the indie gems we’ve championed on Bandcamp, no past review is off-limits.

Matt and Ryan continue their dive into Women's History Month by reviewing their first album that was released in 2026: "Luck...Or Something" by pop singer-songwriter Hilary Duff. We talk about the return of one of the 2000s' most recognizable names, as she deals with adulthood, lost romance, and realizing that time stops for no one. This blend of electro-pop, dance, and indie-folk stylings comes together, and we break it down in this full-length review of the latest LP by Hilary Duff.
