TheConnector

Everybody's got that album. The one with no skips, the one you'd defend in a knife fight, the one where you know the exact half-second of silence between every track. Now go to the song nobody ever talks about. Not the single. Not the one that got the video. Track nine — the one buried deep in the back half that the casuals skip to get to the part they already know, and that you think might secretly be the best thing on the whole record. Pull it out of the dark and make your case. One rule, and it's the whole game: no singles, no radio hits, no songs anyone would already associate with the album. The further from the obvious, the better. We're not here to hear that a great album is great — we know. We're here to find out what's been hiding on it the entire time.
