Flip your hair out of your eyes and dejectedly lean against a wall while sighing, because we're comparing The 69 Eyes' Devils and Lacrimas Profundere's Ave End.
Will you be my 'amburger? Or will you smoke cigarettes in your bed?

1991. Brazil. Thrash. Fight. Kiss?
We compare two of the meanest and greatest thrash albums of all time, both courtesy of Brazil, with a legendary history of shared members and nasty feuds.
Who comes out on top?
2023 was a baller year for music, so Nick and Max deep dive into their top 5 albums and a few honorable mentions!
Dark Taylor is here, and the cusses won't stop. Returning guest Branwen guides us through the best selling 2020 hit, Folklore, and we become Trve Swifties.
John Carpenter synths, check. Sludgy riffs, check. Catchy choruses, check. This record has it all! St. Louis, MO based The Lion's Daughter came at us in 2021 with Skin Show, and left us all... skinned... and showed us? Just listen.
Wind. Smoke. Tin. Toes. Jess Williamson's 2020 release, Sorceress, is a fantastic example of modern, kinda spooky, kinda sad American country folk.
Plus, guest star Branwen joins and makes us all realize we're not paying enough attention to lyrics!
A triple threat! This time, we're covering some favorite EPs, splits, and demos.
Isen Torr - Mighty & Superior
Mono/The Ocean - Transcendental
Queensryche - Queensryche
A bit of an experiment this time! Soja, an American reggae band, recorded two tracks and then sent them out to various reggae artists to reinterpret as they saw fit. Does it work as an album? Are the songs interesting to hear over and over again? Find out with us!
Take a cruise on a pixelated sunset beach with us as we talk about Eyeliner's 2020 vaporwave masterpiece, Drop Shadow.
R. Neilsen v N. Poffinbarger - The Neener-Neener Case (1977)
Widely regarded as the greatest piss-themed album of all time, Yellow River Boy's 2013 classic "Urinal St. Station" is a yellow ocean of elegant southern rock to dive into. Will we slurp it up? Or will we flush it down?
Take a ride (and the veil, Cerpin Taxt) on the drunkship of lanterns with us as we immerse ourselves in the 2003 post-prog-rock debut of madmen The Mars Volta!
Progressive folk metal masterpiece, or the Finnish Load? We find out! Listen along to Amorphis' 1999 classic, Tuonela, with us!
One of the famed Beach Boys, Dennis Wilson released a single solo album during his short life time. Brett loves it. Will Nick and Max finally hear the good vibrations?
One of the best selling albums of all time. The real Born to Run. We rant and rave about Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman's 1977 masterpiece, Bat out of Hell!
