The Legacy Of Deftones, Plus: Are Music Critics Too Nice Now?

Steven and Ian begin with a quick Swift-cast about the pop singer's recent engagement (1:06), and then segue to a Sportscast segment about the potential dominance of the Philadelphia Eagles and the weird ineptitude of the Dallas Cowboys (5:07). After that, they discuss the recent album by Deftones, private music, and the group's current "critic's darling" status (12:38). Speaking of critics, the guys talk about a recent "state of music criticism" thinkpiece about whether music critics now are too nice (26:02). Then they do a "yay or nay" segment on Beach House (47:15).

In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the new album by emo band Hot Mulligan and Steven talks up the indie-R&B project Nourished By Time (52:14)
