We’re celebrating a huge milestone with our 150th episode of the Music Matters Media podcast! For this special installment, we’re looking back at our album reviews from last year and revisiting some of the biggest releases from artists like Blink-182, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Sleep Theory, Linkin Park, Justin Bieber, and more.

We’re breaking down what still holds up, what surprised us on a revisit, and which projects might not hit the same anymore.
Be sure to listen through to the final moments of the episode—Erick shares a deeply personal announcement that marks the end of an era for the show. It’s a moment you won’t want to miss. All

This week on the Music Matters Media Podcast, we’re diving into Three Days Grace’s explosive 8th studio album, ‘Alienation’! The record marks a huge moment for the band — the long-awaited return of original vocalist Adam Gontier after an eleven-year absence. It also marks the band’s first time performing as a five-piece with dual vocalists, uniting Adam Gontier and Matt Walst on co-lead vocals.
Tune in to hear our thoughts on Adam’s big comeback, how Adam and Matt’s vocals blend together, what we think of the band’s new sound, and what this could mean for the future of Three Days Grace. It’s a brand-new era for the band, and you won’t want to miss this one!
