"This is just 1973 bomb. If you knew anything about Brazilian music, this is right in the center of music from Bahia. And they do it all. They'll do chorinho, they'll do baião, sambas."Watch this moment

Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
"I'm a big metal fan. This is what my sister got me when I was pretty young and probably this is the reason why I do music and play drums. When you listen to this album, you only listen to the drums. The bass, you cannot listen to the bass. Guitar, heavy guitar and it's so energetic that you're like, oh my god. That's what got me into music, so thank you Metallica for this great album."Watch this moment
"Big inspiration of mine is Caetano Veloso and Tropicália movement. These cats took music to another level which was like, ok, well we're not only gonna just make music but we're gonna make a statement."Watch this moment
"I don't really know how to quite pronounce it. I always called it 'Ege Bamyasi.' There's a song in particular on here that's amazing, it's called 'Vitamin C.' The drumming on it is just incredible and it stood out to me the first time I heard it."Watch this moment
"Construção, it means 'construction.' It's such an amazing song. It takes you to a construction site. It says there's a man he's drunk. He had a long day. He's falling off, look at him fall. The music mirrors the lyrics exactly but the music is so epic. I mean we're talking about a huge orchestra with all the drums and the samba happening under it. It's a really amazing, amazing track."Watch this moment
"Solange. I think everybody needs to get this. It's a full story. The songs are intertwined by interviews that she did with her family and they're talking about real issues and real things and you can't get more sincere than that. And the music in there's just... it's just so... it's just candy."Watch this moment
"Y'know, Phife is gone and it's just weird and beautiful to know that someone's spirit is being left in this album and it's gonna be another classic that's gonna last a long, long time."Watch this moment
"There's a lot of journalists and critics saying that there's a psyche rock revival, y'know, and I think a lot of it's really owed to Dungen, whether people know it or not."Watch this moment
"I haven't listened to this. I love how they look. This is how we should look for the next tour."Watch this moment
