Photobucket


Did you find the new Portishead album a bit dull? Were you expecting more from the Los Campesinos! debut LP after the hype generated from Sticking Fingers into Sockets? Think Way to Normal doesn't compare to Ben Folds' earlier works? Well, now you have the chance to air your grievances over the radio airwaves.

Each year Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis, hosts of Sound Opinions, call out the most disappointing albums of the year in their annual "Turkey Shoot". If you want to make your complaints known, tell them which albums left you disgruntled this year by emailing interact@soundopinions.org and they will contact you to be on air.

Tune in to Sound Opinions weekly on Chicago Public Radio (91.5 FM in Chicago) at 8 PM on Fridays and 11 AM on Saturdays.
