I posted a review of the previous episode here as Molanphy is a Friend Of The Pod and wanted to keep them going, but another sub I read (and you all would like) beat me to it, so here it is (you may note me shouting out this sub and the pod in the comments!)

There were no winners today, but I felt the raw power of really smooth music.
I can’t believe this album has gone un-Yachtskied! I imagine it’s what Hall & Oates would’ve sounded like if they had gone full yacht.
Other songs on the album include a call to violent revolution and a sexy-sounding warning about nuclear fallout. The album title is certainly of its time, but Jeff Porcaro kills it on the drums.
I think this is the yachtiest track on the album, but I’d love to see other people post their favorites.
