You get one side of one album.
No greatest-hits package.
No custom playlist.
Just one side to make the case for a band.
In this episode of Dave’s Side One, Dave closes Why Album Sides Matter with Side Two of Styx’s Equinox and introduces The Conversion Test:
Can the listener enter?
Does the side expand their idea of the band?
Does it reveal something distinctive?
And when the side ends, do they want to continue?
A great conversion side does not explain everything.
It does something more useful.
It creates curiosity.
