117: Albums That Should’ve Been EPs (And Toilets in Bury St. Edmunds)

February 10, 2025 by Andrew Culture

Last Updated on January 16, 2026

We start strong with batter-fried nonsense, birthday chaos, and a bit of early swearing to keep things respectable (naturally). From there, we rip into bands, black metal, weird band names, and whether or not you should ever talk to someone at the urinal (spoiler: no!).

This week’s theme? Albums that should’ve been EPs, or as we call it: “Long-winded b0llocks that should’ve been cut down before they met the general public.” Orville Peck, System of a Down, Franz Ferdinand, and more are on the chopping block.

There’s praise, rants, and digressions into classic black metal, punk rock toilet moments, Norwegian insults, and Dillinger Escape Plan references. Also, how exactly did The Lars and their obsession with vintage dust drive their label insane?

If you came for structure, well… good luck. But if you want a messy, raw music rant with urine-soaked detours, you’re in the right place.
