What to Hear: I asked my daughter to write a review of the latest Taylor Swift album. She offered: “It’s the greatest album I’ve ever heard.” Honestly, that’s pretty mild compared to most of her Taylor takes. But she won the aux battle during our school commute today, and what I’ve heard so far sounds good. Enjoy The Tortured Poets Department. (I’ll leave it to my daughter to fill you in on who all the songs refer to.) Once I dropped her off at school, it was Dad’s turn. Pearl Jam’s newest album Dark Matter is out, and it’s excellent and as Pearl Jammy as a Pearl Jam fan could want.

+ What to Watch: With two teens and two parents, it’s not easy to find a show that we’ll all watch. But the well-reviewed Fallout on Prime is doing the trick.

+ What to Watch/Hear: CBS/Paramount could have produced this so much better. There should have been more backstories, more documentary elements, and the inclusion of the encore songs. But Billy Joel and his band are as incredible as his song catalog as they mark their 100th show of the Madison Square Garden residency. On Paramount Plus, catch Billy Joel: The 100th – Live at Madison Square Garden.
