Season 9 of the Album Consumers project kicks off with a batch of albums that can only be described as emotional. These six records cover a spectrum of feelings: from dark and ominous to jovial and sugary, and just about everything else in between. While everything that Greg, Scott, and Chris discuss on this episode were presented with the best of intentions, the question nevertheless arises: what happens when someone picks the wrong album from an artist?

This week's Album Consumers album discussion lineup:

The Cure - Disintegration
Mariachi El Bronx - Mariachi El Bronx (II)
Boy Kill Boy - Civilian
Tinted Windows - Tinted Windows
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
