Trainwreckords is a show by ToddInTheShadows where he looks at the career-ruining albums from various artists.
Episodes start with a summation of the artist's position in the pop scene leading up to the subject album.
Todd then walks through the album's contents, starting with a lengthy analysis of the lead single, then following that up with a look at the overall thoroughline of the album interpolated with reviews of the followup singles, as well as a variable number of album cuts. For albums by bands, interpersonal relations between the members are also run through, since fallouts between them tend to be factor in the album's failure.
