00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,400
Welcome one and all to episode 405 of signals from Mars.

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:15,320
I'm your host Victor and during this episode we are going to do our 2024 countdown.

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,480
Joining me will be a bunch of my patrons.

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,680
The countdown will consist of lists that you guys have sent in.

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:31,680
Join us, enjoy and let us know what you think.

6
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,200
I was kind of laughing when I was saying my name.

7
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:08,360
I listened to the Entourage podcast, was a fan of the show back in the day.

8
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:15,680
Regardless of what people say about it, I think it was a good encapsulation of what

9
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,720
Hollywood was like, at least me not being an actor, that's what people seem to always

10
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:27,680
say.

11
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,640
Kevin Connolly, a guy that runs Action Park Media, a place that I actually submitted a

12
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,360
resume two years ago to do audio production.

13
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,280
But anyway, he always says at the beginning of their podcast, are we still saying our

14
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,280
names?

15
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,920
Yeah, there's, you know, I'm doing this 15 years.

16
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:54,800
There's always going to be somebody new checking your shit out and it takes two seconds.

17
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,560
I'm not too cool, not too cool for school here, man.

18
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,700
I'm hoping that there are people checking this episode out, trying to figure out what

19
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:07,960
albums they missed in 2024.

20
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,960
Hopefully me and my esteemed guests will help you guys out, figure what you missed and there

21
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,740
are going to be some albums that you guys are going to think.

22
00:02:16,740 --> 00:02:19,080
What the hell were they thinking?

23
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:27,120
I'm going to be running down my personal top 25 on my VMR podcast on Patreon.

24
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,400
Yeah, that's one of the perks that you get.

25
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,400
If you do check out the Patreon, you can go to signalsfrommars.com and find links over

26
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,360

27
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,560
or check out the video version, which is live on YouTube and a bunch of other platforms

28
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,320
as well.

29
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,720
In any event, if you just want to go straight to Patreon, you could just go patreon.com forward

30
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,440

I do want to send the shout out to all of my patrons.

37
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:32,600
Some once again did join us for this episode and I used to have this closed down so that

38
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:38,200
only they could vote, but now I've reached out to other people.

39
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:44,440
Just because I think it helps broaden things and helps bring more interest to the episode.

40
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:50,720
At least I'm hoping that those voting do check this out and say, Hey, how'd my album only

41
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,540
end up at number six?

42
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:54,920
It was my number one.

43
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,240
What are you guys crazy?

44
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,240
Yeah.

45
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,480
So any of that stuff you want to let me know, just drop me a line signals from Mars at signals

46
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,240

49
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:23,000
Up next, we're going to be talking about a genre in February.

50
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,280
At least that's what's scheduled.

51
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:30,240
We could switch it up to talk about a band or a year and its releases.

52
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,640
Got a lot of cool stuff lined up for this year.

53
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:40,200
So if you guys do want to participate and have your voice be heard, continue as I choke,

54
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,480

56
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:52,880
in the chat and just let your comments be heard.

57
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,600
There's a lot of great people that join us and I continue to choke as we get on with

58
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,600
the episode.

59
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:22,720
Thanks once again for joining us and enjoy.

60
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:29,600
Welcome everyone to the January 10th, 2025 edition of signals from Mars.

61
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,640
This is the first show of the new year and we start the show out by doing a countdown

62
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,040
of our favorites from 2024.

63
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:47,160
Joining me from our illustrious cavalcade of frequent guests is Jeremy Weltman in the

64
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:57,280
UK, Ed Ferguson in Kentucky, the cavalierish Brad Doll in Idaho, and Metal Dan out there

65
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,920
in California.

66
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:06,720
So we had a bunch of people vote for their favorites of the year.

67
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,120
If you're new to the show, trying to figure out what the hell we've done.

68
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,280
Essentially people submitted their 10 favorite albums.

69
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,280
Just the album ranked number one for you.

70
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:18,280
It got 10 points.

71
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,760
Number two got nine points all the way down to number 10, which received one point.

72
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:28,440
I tallied all the scores up out of the 77 albums that were voted on.

73
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,440
Wow.

74
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,440
Look at that.

75
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,160
Brad is giving his list away there.

76
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:43,160
And I will say this, at least the plan at this moment for me, if you subscribe to Patreon,

77
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:53,280
is that I do have a top 25 for me and I will try to do an increments of five albums at

78
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,280
a time.

79
00:06:54,280 --> 00:07:00,400
I will be sharing tracks off of albums until I get to number one.

80
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,640
Hopefully that will appease some people.

81
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,160
Maybe they will be entertaining.

82
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,160
It will be enjoyable, enjoying.

83
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,560
And I won't be fumbling and bastardizing the English language.

84
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,560
All right.

85
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,360
You can sit right in Idaho doing that though.

86
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,040
I'm just saying.

87
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,360
You can't do that in Idaho?

88
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,360
No, you can't.

89
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,140
I used to say that the greatest thing about living in Utah was that you could pronounce

90
00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:33,280
things any way you want and nobody would argue with you.

91
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Like they didn't know any better.

92
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Well, it's even down a step here.

93
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,720
So cheers.

94
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,200
All right.

95
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:52,680
So there are 77 albums, but what I'm going to do is I'm going to recap real quickly.

96
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,040
Twenty to eleven.

97
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,000
If anyone wants to jump in and comment on any of these albums, please do so.

98
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,800
Please let me know.

99
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:09,320
And the meat and potatoes will discuss ten through one.

100
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,320
All right.

101
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:16,840
So at 20, we have Impelatory with War Machine.

102
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:23,480
19 Hammerfall with Avenge the Fallen.

103
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,600
18 The Southern River Band with DIY.

104
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:37,760
17 Scarefield with The Quiet Country.

105
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,800
16 Alcest with.

106
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,800
This is French, folks, and maybe I should have had my kids prepare a sound sample for

107
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:56,640
me as they're both studying French, but Les Champs-Elysées.

108
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,840
Close enough.

109
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,960
You guys know what the.

110
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,160
What the number one sold video game console is in France.

111
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,160
The Wii.

112
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,160
The Wii.

113
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,160
You got it, Brad.

114
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:23,440
I'm going to drink that.

115
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,560
You just showed his peak.

116
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:26,840
It's all down here from here.

117
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,840
Oh, man.

118
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,840
All right.

119
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:39,800
This is why we need Trivia Tuesday back.

120
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,360
I wish I could squeeze more hours out in the day.

121
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,360
We'll see.

122
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,360
I was today.

123
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,560
I'm still advertising Trivia Tuesday and almost on all my social media posts.

124
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:53,520
So maybe maybe at least once a month.

125
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,080
We'll see.

126
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,280
14 knocked loose with You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To.

127
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,680
Talk about squeezing things out.

128
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:08,720
Yeah, there you go.

129
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,680
14 praying mantis with defiance.

130
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,840
What the hell?

131
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:21,600
You're just making this stuff up now.

132
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,520
I am not.

133
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,960
I know pre-manus is.

134
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,320
I didn't know that other band, though.

135
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,320
Not loose.

136
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Not loose is that man that people got upset over them being on Jimmy Kimmel.

137
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,520
Oh, yeah.

138
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Because because it's a metal band with a very screamy lead singer.

139
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,680
Oh, OK.

140
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:51,280
So all bent out of shape.

141
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,160
And as a result, I forget what metal band they booked the following week just to kind

142
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:02,800
of give a middle finger to all the people that complained about it.

143
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,800
Let's see.

144
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:11,480
13 is Tuck Smith with Rogue to Redemption.

145
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,680
12.

146
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:17,240
Chris Ninsack.

147
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:23,880
The Cure with Songs of a Lost World.

148
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:31,720
And at 11, we have Dustbolt with Sound and Fury.

149
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,480
Wow.

150
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,960
So all right.

151
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:44,960
You know, one album that didn't make it in the top 10 is this one by Kansas.

152
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,960
Oh, damn.

153
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,920
It did not come out in 2024.

154
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:55,720
And to my knowledge, nothing from Kansas did come out in 2024.

155
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:04,360
It's a shame from the greatest American rock band to come out in the 70s to release anything

156
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,720
in the 70s.

157
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:19,880
But it kind of is what it is before going on with the with the top 10 here.

158
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,120
There are a few things that.

159
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,720
Not exactly new, but were for sale in 2024.

160
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,240
They would include a Signals from Mars t-shirt.

161
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,680
A hoodie.

162
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:42,160
Windbreaker.

163
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,360
Bomber jacket.

164
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,720
The Jeremy baseball cap.

165
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,240
I hear it's cold.

166
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,280
There are beanies.

167
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:03,120
If you want to be in style like Brad, there's a bucket hat.

168
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:13,440
And we've got the two distressed here, the the woman's V neck and the the hoodie.

169
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:20,160
So you want to support the show, you can always pull the trigger on one of those or you can

170
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:26,000

171
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
cetera, et cetera.

172
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,960
Anyway, I'm going to vote for joining on Patreon.

173
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,520
That would be the smartest thing anybody could do with their that should be a New Year's

174
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,920
resolution for everybody.

175
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,920
They're here.

176
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:46,080
Get that's a New Year's resolution that is easy to actually hold up.

177
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Yeah.

178
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,360
So easier than a gym membership.

179
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,360
Better for you than buying a cup of coffee every day.

180
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:06,120
So anyway, so let's continue with this countdown here.

181
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,800
Number 10 at number 10.

182
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,720
I have to put some sound effects behind that.

183
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:21,400
Anyway, at number 10, someone who whose music I'm into, I've been into the last few albums

184
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,440
was voted on by quite a few different people.

185
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:33,600
It is the album Negative Space by Poppy.

186
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,160
I understand that it's not for everyone on here.

187
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,080
Kind of a little bit more modern.

188
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:48,360
It kind of goes between pop influences to hardcore type influences to more of a electronic

189
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,360
type thing.

190
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,520
It's a little all over the place like a lot of her music is.

191
00:14:53,520 --> 00:15:00,360
But for me, still rather entertaining.

192
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,480
All right.

193
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,280
Next up, number nine.

194
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,040
Hey, I've never heard this girl.

195
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,040
Okay.

196
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:16,760
So you're saying that her songs are so good that she's actually in the top 10 better than

197
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,760
those multiple other great metal albums.

198
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,740
77 through 11.

199
00:15:22,740 --> 00:15:24,600
This is strange news to me.

200
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,000
I'm going to have to check this out.

201
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,840
Is it really that good?

202
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,160
I think it's good.

203
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:36,120
But I mean, I'm into a lot of different elements that she normally adds into her music.

204
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Okay.

205
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,960
Who here voted on this is one of their top 10 albums.

206
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,200
Okay, cool.

207
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,200
All right.

208
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,680
So Steve did as well.

209
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,680
Yeah, you are.

210
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,080
Okay, yeah, and I think that's great.

211
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,680
I haven't listened to it.

212
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:03,560
So I've only heard the stuff that Victor's posted on the Patreon group that you can join

213
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,280
for $2 a month here, Singles from Mars.

214
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,800
It's along the lines of what I've posted on Patreon.

215
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,040
So if you're not into what I've posted on Patreon, then the album isn't for you.

216
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:21,960
If some of it intrigues you, give it a shot.

217
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,600
I'm going to go against that, though, because you said that she's all over the place.

218
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,760
I mean, you're not talking about just all over the place in every song.

219
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,560
So it kind of sounds like an album you really need to listen to the whole thing.

220
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,560
Yeah.

221
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:41,120
And I would say that that's, for the most part, what she's always released.

222
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:47,720
Like there are certain things that are common, but there are things that are definitely pop

223
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,720
related.

224
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,440
But there are other things that are totally on the other side of the spectrum, which are

225
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,200
not radio friendly at all.

226
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:05,960
And I forget she appeared with Bad Omens on another show this year as well.

227
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:11,200
And again, they received some type of flack because it was a song where she's screaming

228
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,480
all over the place.

229
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,760
So I'll check it out.

230
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:22,760
Yeah, I guess I'll have to now.

231
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:29,880
And surely more than one person will ask, what the hell did you guys vote on?

232
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,360
Anyway.

233
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:32,880
All right.

234
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,880
Number nine.

235
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,600
All right.

236
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,240
Number nine.

237
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:45,480
It is Hailing from Sweden.

238
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,880
Also in my personal list.

239
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,880
Brad, you ready?

240
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:52,880
I'm ready.

241
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,280
I'm hoping it's the only Swedish band I have in my top 10.

242
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,560
So go.

243
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:00,560
The Quill.

244
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,560
Yes.

245
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Yes.

246
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,560
Illusion.

247
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:10,240
Brad, you're going to tell you.

248
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,240
Okay.

249
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,400
So first of all, I have to say that I only discovered the Quill because of Victor and

250
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,440
being in his Patreon group.

251
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,240
The Quill came up years ago.

252
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,080
I think I have all of their albums and I think I've been like, yeah, they're okay.

253
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,120
I mean, you know, I like them.

254
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:32,120
But this album, this album, I don't know.

255
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:34,200
To me, it's just like they nailed it.

256
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:40,080
They, you know, and Wheel of Illusion, is that what we're dealing with here?

257
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Yeah.

258
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,000
It's, Amy, you kind of expect it maybe to be a little Sabbathy.

259
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Oh, it is in a good way.

260
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,720
In a good, good way.

261
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,560
I give them, yeah, this album is fantastic.

262
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:54,880
Had to be in my top 10.

263
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:01,120
So if you, if you, yeah, if you like Black Sabbath, you better, you better like this

264
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:06,760
album or you could be like somebody who's, well, it sounds too much like Black Sabbath.

265
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,960
And I don't know, but it's great.

266
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,720
I mean, the songs, I mean, every, every song I listened to, I was like, holy crap, I like

267
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:13,720
this one.

268
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,720
I like this one.

269
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,920
I like this one all the way through.

270
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,720
It was one of those albums that when I put it on, I wasn't like, is this going to be

271
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,720
the last song?

272
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,640
Or can I move on to something else?

273
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,720
That's the way a lot of these albums that came out this year, I got tired of the band

274
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:29,720
after a little while.

275
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,720
But this one, no.

276
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,800
I, I coast to coast, man.

277
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,800
Every song did it for me.

278
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,200
So good job, everybody else who voted for the quilt.

279
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,200
Yeah.

280
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,760
There, I echo a lot of what you said.

281
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,720
I think it's probably their strongest album start to finish.

282
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,840
Oh, for sure.

283
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:54,420
Each of their albums really has four, five, six tracks that are really good.

284
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:58,000
And then it's got a few kind of throwaway tracks where you're like, okay, I've already

285
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
heard this one.

286
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:07,120
It feels like it was them trying to do this other song a different way.

287
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:14,040
This adds stoner elements, has doom metal elements and has straight up classic 80s heavy

288
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,880
metal influence.

289
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,880
And it's funny because I saw someone, somebody locally here that posted that they picked

290
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:26,640
the vinyl up recently and somebody, somebody responded to them.

291
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:34,160
Oh, it just sounds like like some heavy metal from the 80s as if that was a bad, you know,

292
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,280
and I was like, and you stupid fucking elitist purist.

293
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,000
Yes, it does.

294
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,880
And it's entertaining as hell.

295
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,400
So I really enjoy the album.

296
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:57,160
I don't I don't get why these keyboard warriors have a problem with stuff sounding like a

297
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,800
throwback.

298
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,760
So long as it entertains you, who cares?

299
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,000
Preach.

300
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,760
You know, that's that that's the whole thing.

301
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:13,920
So whatever he did, that person can just go in their little cubby hole and go listen to

302
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,000
some black metal.

303
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
So whatever.

304
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,840
I need to get CEO Dave to listen to this and get his two cents.

305
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,440
He'll probably enjoy it.

306
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,600
I would I would like to think so.

307
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,560
But he's such a goofball.

308
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:33,000
He tried to watch the ghost movie while he was back from China this week on the on the

309
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
airplane.

310
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,000
He says, what was terrible?

311
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,240
I said, what was terrible about it?

312
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,560
He said, well, he says they just had all this and he said they didn't play any good songs

313
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:48,440
and he only listened to the first song right over here, right above the Fastway album.

314
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,160
I have it right there.

315
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,160
Yeah.

316
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,720
So I stick it up.

317
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,960
I didn't I didn't put it on the list because it's a live album.

318
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,400
But holy crap, the I got the Blu Ray and it's fantastic.

319
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,880
So that's the four a version.

320
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:09,040
So I'm a little bit more definition than your Blu Ray, sir.

321
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:16,320
So since since we're on that subject, I will say that this is the first live album in a

322
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:23,160
long time that has entertained me, where it feels like an old school live album where

323
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,440
you listen to a lot of live albums from bands in the last 20 years.

324
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,680
Are you like they're just cashing a check and just whatever.

325
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,360
They're just going through the motions.

326
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:38,080
This feels that goes down and feels like I'm listening to live after death, feels like

327
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,360
I'm listening to a live Strangers in the Night.

328
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,280
Is it going to replace any of those albums?

329
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,480
No, but it has that same kind of like feel to it.

330
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,840
So I agree with you.

331
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,480
I think it's one of the best things that was released this year.

332
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,360
Yeah, for sure.

333
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:56,920
I spent a lot of time in the States listening to that album.

334
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Dan, weren't you at that show?

335
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Never.

336
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,960
I've never seen Ghost.

337
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,640
Oh, this would have been a good time to go.

338
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,040
We'll talk.

339
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,080
We shouldn't belabor the rest of this stuff with this, but we'll have to have a chat about

340
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,080
that.

341
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,080
Yeah.

342
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,160
Now, because listen to this, I booked Mark the Quill and I'll check that out this weekend.

343
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,640
Okay, cool.

344
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,640
Cool.

345
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,440
Very cool.

346
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:32,240
And maybe with number eight, Dan will have a little bit more to discuss.

347
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:38,400
I think that personally, out of our group, we've seen certain members of this band, probably

348
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,320
more than anyone else here.

349
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:48,080
So at number eight, I didn't think this album sounded anything like Thin Lizzy, as they

350
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,680
originally said, but it is category seven.

351
00:23:53,680 --> 00:24:02,080
Oh, with Mr. John Bush on lead vocals, Jason Bittner on drums, Jack.

352
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:10,440
Gibson from Exodus on bass, Phil Demmel from Machine Head and Violins Fame on guitar, as

353
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,800
well as Mike Orlando.

354
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:20,560
Unfortunately, they canceled their tour and shame on anyone who for years has been clamoring

355
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,960
to see John Bush do old Anthrax live and didn't pick up tickets for this because this would

356
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,440
have been your chance.

357
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:36,320
And now I don't know what other outlet there's going to be for him to do that, but we'll

358
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,320
see.

359
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,040
Category seven, Dan, your thoughts?

360
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:46,240
Yeah, I saw Armored Saint at the Palladium, Hollywood, California about four weeks ago

361
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:52,600
when standing in line with a very talkative chat with somebody and he asked me what I

362
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,720
thought of this album and I said, no, I can't get into it.

363
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,080
There's no hooks for me.

364
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,880
It sounds just not.

365
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,800
It doesn't mix well for me.

366
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,320
Bittner is an amazing drummer.

367
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:10,200
I discussed Bittner leaving Overkill that you provided.

368
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,880
I did the meet and greet with John and people were bringing the album to him.

369
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,160
That's great.

370
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,200
I can't get into it.

371
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,660
So if I had seen this band play live, maybe the album would make sense to me.

372
00:25:21,660 --> 00:25:24,960
But without that happening, it's not in mind.

373
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Can't get into it.

374
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:35,800
I will say that I think had they played this stuff live, I do agree with you.

375
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,880
It probably would have been a better sell.

376
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:46,000
I like part of the album and I'm glad that people voted for it.

377
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,840
And I do have it over here.

378
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,360
I did purchase it.

379
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:59,120
It gets to a point where for me, the album is kind of metal Olympics where they're just

380
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:01,160
trying to show off.

381
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,960
I can do this on the guitar or I can do this on the drums.

382
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,000
Yeah, especially the drums.

383
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:15,360
I mean, while they're just really good, I think the songs suffer from it.

384
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,480
I felt fatigued after listening to like four or five songs.

385
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,800
I'm like, I need a break from this and I'll come back.

386
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,800
I mean, one song at a time, like I play it on yard metal.

387
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,760
It's awesome when a song comes on because then you go on to something else.

388
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:37,680
But the whole album was really tough for me to sit through all the way and enjoy it.

389
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,560
But not that it got bad or anything.

390
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,280
It just wore me down.

391
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,320
The drums are just like, I mean, the dude's nuts.

392
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,800
But it's like, okay, somebody's got to produce this.

393
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,440
Somebody's got to stand in there and say, okay, you know, songs should be first.

394
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,240
You know, everybody's going to get their chance to shine in here.

395
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,960
We're going to have you're going to have your spots.

396
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,720
And yeah, I think you nailed it on the head.

397
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,200
Can you say that?

398
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,200
Yeah.

399
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,200
Put it in the taint.

400
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,200
Exactly.

401
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,200
You said it just right.

402
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,880
You put the taint right in the middle.

403
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,880
It's a metal Olympics.

404
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,880
Yeah.

405
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,000
And I'm going to give them a gold for that.

406
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Yeah.

407
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:27,920
That's why sometimes you need outside input and not have one of your members of the band

408
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,920
producing.

409
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,520
Because sometimes you just don't know when to say no.

410
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,080
That's what I think the case was here.

411
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:45,960
You know, you know, the Kerry King albums sound so much better to compare having an

412
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,400
all star singer in a band.

413
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,520
So what you said, Brad, is spot on.

414
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,400
Also Phil Demmel on that album.

415
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,160
So I mean, you've got some musicians that cross over.

416
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,400
And even, for example, the Impelatari, which was 20, which had Paul Bostoff as well, speaking

417
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:10,440
of Kerry King, it was Bostoff playing, but it still fit the music.

418
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,960
You know, it helped enhance the music and take that album to another level, I think,

419
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,600
gave it another kind of gear of heaviness to it.

420
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,680
Where, yeah, Bostoff is still doing a lot of the classic stuff that you hear from Impelatari

421
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,680
music.

422
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:35,600
But at the same time, he kind of added his own thing where I think with here, again,

423
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,760
Bittner kind of and I love Bittner as a player.

424
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,880
It just, it should have gone somewhere else, in my opinion.

425
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,520
But anyway, yeah, still our number eight.

426
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:54,480
Do you know, Victor, if this is going to be a band going forward or is this just like

427
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,960
a one off thing?

428
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:04,640
I guess, yeah, I mean, Armour Saints got another one coming out that they're slowly talking

429
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,560
about and the brotherhood of the band.

430
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,040
There's no reason to do it other than that live show, which didn't happen.

431
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,200
They're going to need to play.

432
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,240
If they play Europe and festivals, maybe they have a chance.

433
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,240
Yeah.

434
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,240
Fair point.

435
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,400
Well, that's what I think their outlet is going to be.

436
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:30,840
I think that it'll end up being that they end up doing festival dates in Europe because

437
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,300
if they can't tour on it, festival dates, they'll get money.

438
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:39,740
They can show up, do 10 shows, see the response.

439
00:29:39,740 --> 00:29:41,160
And it's also different.

440
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:46,860
It'll be similar to like Tony Martin did a few shows.

441
00:29:46,860 --> 00:29:51,300
I think he might have done Bloodstock with another band behind them or he came out as

442
00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:55,440
a special guest and did like two or three Sabbath songs.

443
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,440
I think that could work where if people start to see, oh, shit, you know, they're doing

444
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,360
only.

445
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,840
They're doing certain anthrax songs.

446
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,280
They're doing, you know, I don't know.

447
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,820
And Bender's going back with his band as well, too.

448
00:30:13,820 --> 00:30:17,320
So they could do that band that I can't think of.

449
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,320
Shadow's Fall.

450
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,320
Exactly.

451
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:25,840
But I mean, I could see as you're saying, I could see Armored Saint going out one year,

452
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:33,280
this band going out the following year, that type of a thing where Bush can play those

453
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,440
obscure songs that he hasn't played in a long time, where he's kind of in a different part

454
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,400
in his life as well, where at first he didn't want to tour as much because of his kids.

455
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,820
Now his kids are 20, I think.

456
00:30:46,820 --> 00:30:53,080
So it's a different situation where now he has more time to go out and do shows.

457
00:30:53,080 --> 00:31:00,160
So you know, had they would they go out and after two albums, after three albums and still

458
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,040
play some other stuff?

459
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Maybe they would, I don't know, cover some Rainbow songs, cover some stuff that they're

460
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,560
all really into.

461
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:11,920
I don't know.

462
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,480
That could be an interesting sell.

463
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:20,160
But without that live show, I don't see that this band could do much more.

464
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,160
So.

465
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,160
All right.

466
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,160
Give us something for Jeremy to chime in on.

467
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,160
And Ed.

468
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:36,040
I have nothing to say on that one.

469
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:42,120
I was going to pull up a quote from Winston Wolf, but I didn't think it was it was good

470
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:47,560
for that specific outburst of yours, Brad.

471
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,560
OK.

472
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,560
All right.

473
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,680
So number seven.

474
00:31:53,680 --> 00:32:00,320
This is a band that no one here voted on, but several people did vote for.

475
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,720
It's a band that my kids are into.

476
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,520
Tell you that.

477
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,040
It is Bring Me the Horizon.

478
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,600
Oh, what a cover.

479
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,640
With Utopia.

480
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:22,640
Bring Me the Horizon is a UK band that is extremely popular with.

481
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,640
I don't want to say just younger people because they have been around for like 20 years at

482
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,880
this point or close to it.

483
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,040
They've been accused in recent years because they've started experimenting a lot with their

484
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:42,120
music about becoming too polished, too straightforward metal, too popular.

485
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,480
Every every one to put it.

486
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,840
One of the people that voted for this talked about how they felt that it was great, how

487
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:57,880
much they experimented on this album to try to give the band a new element that they haven't

488
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:04,320
had in the past and not make them kind of seems.

489
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:12,360
Jeremy, this is a band that's been popular in the UK for a while, right?

490
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,000
I think it's delay.

491
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,040
Jeremy, Jeremy.

492
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,960
Sorry, did you ask me?

493
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,080
Yeah, there's a huge delay.

494
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:26,520
I might have to come in iPad in a minute to rectify it.

495
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,520
Yeah, you're right.

496
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,600
They are extremely popular over here, particularly amongst the younger crowd.

497
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:39,360
I kind of missed out on them because, you know, just kind of older than their normal

498
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,360
fan base.

499
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,360
But yeah, they're releasing some good stuff.

500
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,560
I thought that that latest album was pretty good.

501
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,480
You know, I wasn't overboard on it.

502
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,080
I didn't vote for it.

503
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,800
But you know, it's a pretty decent album.

504
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,480
You want to give it a listen?

505
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,480
OK, all right, I'm going to give it a listen.

506
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,080
The album cover is beautiful.

507
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,960
Whoever did that drawing, I love it.

508
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,160
The colors in that is great.

509
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:10,560
Yeah, they've always been known for having covers that stick out for different reasons.

510
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:22,440
I think the previous one used a lot of sacred geometries, it's called.

511
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,360
And then I forget what band Coldplay, I think, put out an album like a year later that had

512
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,840
almost the same design.

513
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:34,600
And they at the Brit Awards just came out and said, hey, you know, you guys could have

514
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,120
picked something a little bit more original, especially a year after we released our album

515
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,280
with almost the same cover.

516
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,720
So Victor's bringing the knowledge here.

517
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:48,400
This is a good show.

518
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:53,800
Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

519
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,800
These shows are always fun.

520
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,720
As opposed to all those other shows.

521
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:05,200
Yeah, let's learn something cool.

522
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,200
Dropping the knowledge.

523
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,200
Victor does.

524
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,200
What a dork I am.

525
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,200
Let's see.

526
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,200
No, no, no.

527
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,200
I don't.

528
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,200
I wouldn't say that.

529
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:22,320
Let's see if Jeremy jumps back in here because as you said, Brad, the next album is something

530
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,720
that he's going to want to come in on.

531
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:27,760
Figures that isn't that the way it is?

532
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,640
Wait, he's back.

533
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:30,640
He's back.

534
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,560
Oh, he's over here.

535
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:35,560
All right.

536
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,200
He's iPad ready, he says he had to fix the audio.

537
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,200
Yeah.

538
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,200
Yeah.

539
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,360
All right.

540
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,280
So moving on here.

541
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,680
Number six.

542
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:58,280
It is an album that on a lot of websites, forums on the Internet was voted number one.

543
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,960
For us, it is number six.

544
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,560
No people here voted for it.

545
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:15,040
It is Saxon with Hellfire and Damnation.

546
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,760
Mr. Doll, there you go.

547
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:17,760
Ready for the occasion.

548
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,480
What a ship.

549
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,480
Mr. Welman comments.

550
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,680
Yeah, well, yeah, I think I voted for it quite high up anyway.

551
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:37,920
Yeah, I thought it was a really good album.

552
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,360
I thought it was a better album than the previous album.

553
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:47,400
And I thought that, you know, yeah, having Brian Tatler on guitar, he's added something

554
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:48,400
to the band.

555
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,320
I think he's contributed a couple of songs this time, two or three.

556
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,720
But I think in the next few albums, you're going to see the difference.

557
00:36:55,720 --> 00:36:56,920
There were some really good songs on it.

558
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,800
I really like that Roswell song.

559
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,800
I like Madame Guillotine.

560
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,120
There was, you know, it's just I think they put a bit more energy back into the band again.

561
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,120
So that was something.

562
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:14,440
And it's just a very listable, very typical Saxon album and I liked it.

563
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:15,440
Cool.

564
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,760
Brad, your thoughts on the album?

565
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:24,520
Yeah, I think the last one, you know, a couple of years ago when we did this show, it wasn't

566
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:30,200
even going to Carpe Diem is the album, their previous one was two years ago.

567
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,960
And that wasn't even going to make my top ten because I was just so disappointed because

568
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,640
it just kind of sounded like I've heard all this before.

569
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:39,640
There's nothing new here.

570
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:40,640
Nothing.

571
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,640
I don't know.

572
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,000
Nothing really just jumped out at me.

573
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,000
This album, though, I realized they got the same producer too all the way through.

574
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,320
But you put this like you listen to a song by another band and you throw this album on

575
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,080
and just throw one of these songs on.

576
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,520
I mean, sonically, it's it's huge.

577
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,440
God, the guitars just sounds so great.

578
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:03,880
The drums great vocals.

579
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,880
The whole thing is really, really well produced.

580
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:14,440
And I think Jeremy's on point with I like to call him Tats.

581
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,440
That's my nickname for Tatler.

582
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:23,240
He's he's done some of this band is kind of like when Mickey D joined Scorpions, how he

583
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:26,400
just infused them with some energy and something.

584
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,280
And that Brian's done that.

585
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:34,440
He's come to this band and he's brought a little little something with him.

586
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:42,480
And I mean, I've seen them play five of these songs live now four times.

587
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,480
Fantastic.

588
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:44,480
Fantastic.

589
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:50,400
So in the opening song just gets me and just totally gets me.

590
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,440
The other thing to bear in mind is that Biff on the previous album was ill, wasn't he?

591
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,120
He had heart problems and he's got over most of his illnesses now.

592
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,480
I think he might have just done another procedure recently for something.

593
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,480
I think his stomach.

594
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,800
But he wasn't very well.

595
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,560
So that was a little bit turgid.

596
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,240
The previous album was this one a lot more exciting.

597
00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:16,520
Yeah, I think also that was during Covid and I don't know that they did much together

598
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,520
as a group.

599
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,120
I think they probably pieced it pieced it together.

600
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:26,400
So you're missing that kind of camaraderie and bouncing stuff off of each other.

601
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,880
Yeah, this album, this area, it's so much better.

602
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:36,480
I'm not going to say it's the best saxon album ever.

603
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:43,120
My favorite since let's see, let's see Sacrifice maybe.

604
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,120
Yeah, I was going to say that as well.

605
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,120
I agree.

606
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,080
It's a great, great sounding album.

607
00:39:50,080 --> 00:40:00,040
But yeah, if you can't enjoy this album, well, I don't know what to tell you.

608
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,480
And I'm seeing Saxon in March in San Antonio, Texas.

609
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,920
Got my tickets.

610
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,520
I'm seeing them in November.

611
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,200
Yeah, I'm kind of hoping to see them in November too.

612
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,200
We'll see.

613
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,200
We'll see.

614
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:20,200
All right.

615
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,800
Moving on here to number five.

616
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,960
All right.

617
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,160
Mexican trio, Mexican sisters.

618
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,200
This is Mexican radio.

619
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:40,880
The warning with keep me fed.

620
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,360
I have to say I didn't vote for this album.

621
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,760
I like a lot of their previous work.

622
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:55,760
And although this album has some good stuff on it, in my opinion, it's kind of fallen

623
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,880
flat in comparison to what they've done in the past.

624
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:04,160
The singles that they've released are good.

625
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:14,600
But some of the deeper cuts on the album are just kind of same.

626
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:20,800
And I was hoping that they would take things up a notch in comparison to what they'd done

627
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:21,800
in the past.

628
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:30,360
But anyway, I got enough votes for it to make it to number five on the list.

629
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,360
Yeah.

630
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,000
I think it's a good album.

631
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,000
I am.

632
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,560
But I'm with you, Victor.

633
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,560
I didn't.

634
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:42,280
In buying music for yard metal, normally I just buy the whole album.

635
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,800
But this one, as I listened to it, I'm like, I don't want to buy the whole album.

636
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,640
So I just went and cherry picked a few songs and bought those.

637
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:50,640
Yeah.

638
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:51,640
Yeah.

639
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,280
Makes sense.

640
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,240
They're very well marketed around here.

641
00:41:56,240 --> 00:42:02,480
They play in the California area often and advertisement.

642
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:07,160
So they're doing well branding and keeping it going, keeping it alive and in the magazines.

643
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,160
Yeah.

644
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:15,640
And here in Spain, they toured last year, sold out a bunch of smaller theaters.

645
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:21,880
They're coming back in the spring and they're playing larger venues and in bigger cities.

646
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:22,880
Cool.

647
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,700
And those tickets have sold pretty well also.

648
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:33,360
So I mean, they are growing their fan base pretty much everywhere, which is good.

649
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,360
I'm happy.

650
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,080
I think that they're a good band.

651
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:41,000
It's just like I said, I was hoping for something else.

652
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,040
I was hoping for them to take another step forward.

653
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:50,320
And I think this is maybe if they covered a Kansas song, maybe if they covered a Kansas

654
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:51,320
song.

655
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:52,320
There you go.

656
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,320
That's something that's never said.

657
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,320
Never ever.

658
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,320
I got I got one taint in the wind.

659
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:05,240
I'm going to write that song tonight.

660
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:07,480
That's all we are.

661
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,960
We're all taint in the wind.

662
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,240
You close your eyes.

663
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:18,040
Anyway, all right.

664
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,840
Number four.

665
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:20,840
Number four.

666
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:26,400
I've got the the cool AI voice here and I forget to use it.

667
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,400
Number four.

668
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,560
I got to say something about that.

669
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,680
I want to I want a recording of these that that voice doing the numbers and I want to

670
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:40,880
go to a public restroom and just lock myself in a stall and just play random numbers.

671
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,840
So people try to what the hell is that guy doing in there?

672
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,440
The mind Brad doll.

673
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,000
They're waiting for number two to come up.

674
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
I know it.

675
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:56,360
There is an old bit of Kevin and Bean morning radio where Kevin went in stalls and he would

676
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:01,280
ask questions like that almost to the point of getting in a fight because you go, hey,

677
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,280
how you doing?

678
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:03,280
Hey, what are you doing?

679
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:09,080
You're going to get your ass kicked is what's going to happen is it came close.

680
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,080
It's funny at first.

681
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,920
And yeah, be careful.

682
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,680
They're going to think you're weird.

683
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,960
You do try it old man.

684
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:20,960
He is in.

685
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:21,960
I was wrong.

686
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,960
That's true.

687
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:28,040
One of these days, I'm going to have to tell my story about using the ladies restroom by

688
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,080
accident in Home Depot.

689
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,000
But that's that's for another another show.

690
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:40,040
Yeah, you have to understand, Dan, there aren't a lot of Cholo's out in out in Idaho.

691
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,600
So no, they're not.

692
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,600
They all stopped in Utah when they're heading.

693
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,120
They circle their wagons and stayed there.

694
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,540
Anyway, number four.

695
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:56,200
Also coming from Sweden.

696
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:01,120
Too bad, Johan isn't here because this was Johan's number one.

697
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,120
This is on my list.

698
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,000
I believe this is on Jeremy's list as well.

699
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,340
What?

700
00:45:07,340 --> 00:45:10,040
What is it?

701
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:16,000
It is Cemetery Skyline with Nordic Gothic.

702
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,200
Jeremy, this is on your list, right?

703
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,200
Yeah.

704
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,200
Yeah, it's a great album.

705
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:22,200
I really like it.

706
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,680
In fact, I actually played it again today.

707
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,000
A part of it.

708
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,280
Just maybe three, four, five songs and still liked it.

709
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,000
I think it's great.

710
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,200
It's got that old sort of 80s gothic feel to it, hasn't it?

711
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,600
And really well produced.

712
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:42,840
It's not a typical metal album, but it's in the top 10 on merit because it's really good.

713
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,240
It's a super group, really, isn't it?

714
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:48,200
Of various band members from that sort of genre, that scene.

715
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,200
And yeah, they've done a good job, I think.

716
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:58,800
Yeah, it's been an interesting year for gothic metal.

717
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:05,120
I mentioned a few weeks ago on my VMR podcast how I started putting together a gothic metal

718
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,560
playlist.

719
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,040
They're definitely on there.

720
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:12,040
But there are other bands that have put out really good albums.

721
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:18,880
For example, in my case, Onto Others released a new album called Never Neverland, which

722
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,600
I think is stronger than this Cemetery Skyline album.

723
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:31,960
Tribulation also, which is more of a mix of gothic with black metal.

724
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,280
If you miss stuff like Type O Negative, if you miss stuff like Sentenced, there are bands

725
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,120
along those lines.

726
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:48,360
As Jeremy mentioned, 80s gothic hard rock, stuff like early cult, for example.

727
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,560
If you're into any of that stuff, check out Cemetery Skyline.

728
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,640
It is a very strong album.

729
00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:10,640
So it did make my list also, and for the listeners here, it got all the way to number four.

730
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:11,640
So cool.

731
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,840
I still need to listen to this album.

732
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:14,840
I will.

733
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:15,840
It's on my list.

734
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:22,040
I've been meaning to.

735
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:29,440
So I think there are going to be some surprises in this top three.

736
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:38,840
Yes, I don't think people are going to expect at least two of these three, but maybe I'm

737
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,440
going to be wrong.

738
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:47,480
But in a second, I think we're going to get some comments from the...

739
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:48,960
This one?

740
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,040
We'll see.

741
00:47:51,040 --> 00:48:02,680
I think we're going to get some comments from the contingent, from the senator in Kentucky.

742
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,760
I think he's going to comment in a second.

743
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,080
Sean Richmond, thanks for joining us tonight.

744
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,480
As was mentioned, he's finally on here.

745
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:21,040
Number three, Kerry King, F3 from Hell.

746
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,040
I rise.

747
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,920
Way to go, Kerry.

748
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,880
I didn't expect it to be even in the top 10, really.

749
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,480
So I'm impressed.

750
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,480
See that?

751
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:37,320
A lot of people have really enjoyed this album.

752
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:44,080
Again, like the Saxon, I saw it ranked high on a lot of different other sites.

753
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:49,200
It was the only metal album that Rolling Stone included in their top 100 of 2024.

754
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,160
Didn't they really?

755
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:52,240
Wow.

756
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:55,040
So it was like 49 or something.

757
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,080
I'm still listening to it.

758
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,480
I listened to it again today.

759
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:02,680
And I got the vinyl earlier this year from my local record store.

760
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:09,440
They actually gifted it to me for taking a bunch of merchandise to them to resell.

761
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,520
So that was nice.

762
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:17,400
And yeah, pretty much besides that intro I told you about, I think is kind of pointless.

763
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,840
I love the whole record.

764
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,080
I was trying to think, why do I like it so much?

765
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:30,840
But there's something about Kerry King or Dave Mustaine.

766
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:36,400
When Dave Mustaine is doing it right, or Kerry King most all the time, I just love their

767
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:41,360
style of songwriting when it comes to thrash metal.

768
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:47,400
And yeah, this album was just tickled my slayer bone all year long.

769
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,080
I really liked it.

770
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:57,000
And it was kind of cool to hear the fellow from Death Angel doing those vocals.

771
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,000
I'll be interested to hear if he'll shake it up with Death Angel a little bit when he

772
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,640
goes back to that.

773
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,920
But yeah, great album, good guitar solos, good production.

774
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,880
Paul sounds pretty good.

775
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,800
Yeah, it's a good record.

776
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,280
When it came out, everybody was giving it like two and a half stars.

777
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,920
So I thought it'd be like in the 20s or something.

778
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:21,920
So I'm happy.

779
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,120
There you go.

780
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,480
It is number three here.

781
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:34,880
And I've listened to an interview with Kerry since talking about this album.

782
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,340
And we had talked about this on the show previously, Dan, you had been on when we talked about

783
00:50:39,340 --> 00:50:42,680
Mark singing on the album.

784
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:47,640
And Kerry essentially said that Mark came into the studio and just started singing like

785
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:48,640
that.

786
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:49,640
Like he just did it on his own.

787
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,160
He could do whatever he wanted.

788
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:55,860
I heard Mark talk about it.

789
00:50:55,860 --> 00:51:00,760
And he said that he envisioned the songs being heavier, that he's always kind of had that

790
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:05,720
heavier voice, but has never had a spot where he could use it.

791
00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:12,040
So he felt like this was the place to really show that other dimension in his voice, which

792
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,920
I thought was really cool.

793
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,000
And there were some good thrash metal songs throughout the year.

794
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:25,560
But I think he won the prize with everything I hate about you, that one and a half minute

795
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,360
thrasher on this record that takes the gold.

796
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:30,640
Yeah.

797
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:36,560
I think the other cool thing is that the album really isn't one dimensional either.

798
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,360
Like it isn't just him trying to do Slayer.

799
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:47,280
There are songs that sound like, again, old school 80s heavy metal, just slightly heavier.

800
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:53,440
I think he's trying to show his influence and trying to sell people on the fact that

801
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,720
he's more than just what he did in Slayer.

802
00:51:56,720 --> 00:52:01,000
Yeah, you can hear the Sabbath and the Judas Priest.

803
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:08,680
Some of the hard, like there's a song on there that sounds very much like the hardcore record

804
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,120
they did, that undisputed attitude.

805
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,120
Yeah.

806
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,120
Yeah.

807
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,520
He mixed it up real well, kept it interesting the whole way through.

808
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:17,520
Yeah.

809
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:18,520
Yeah.

810
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:24,520
I also think it's cool that he did bring Phil in because he could have done the same solos

811
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:25,880
as he always has.

812
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:31,840
But he's I think this is the first time that he's well, obviously with with Jeff Heneman

813
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:41,080
and with Gary Holt, not to not to say that neither one is isn't a good guitarist, but

814
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,760
Phil is really a shredder and can really play like almost anything.

815
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:45,760
Yeah.

816
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:52,080
So I think it's cool that he brought someone in to add a different element to his music

817
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:53,080
like that.

818
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,360
Yeah, that was a smart idea.

819
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:56,360
Yeah.

820
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,360
I agree.

821
00:52:58,360 --> 00:52:59,360
Yeah.

822
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:06,600
If I was paying more attention, I spent about two minutes this time putting this list together.

823
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:11,760
I forgot this album, so it would rank even higher.

824
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,320
So it's very listenable album all the way through.

825
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:17,480
I've listened to it.

826
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:22,200
I can at least say that of a new release in twenty four, I've listened to it more than

827
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:23,200
once.

828
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,600
You know, didn't just start and put it away.

829
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,280
And the good thing is, is Death Angel has stuck around.

830
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:33,480
So they were like afraid that they would split up over this and they played their annual

831
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,920
Christmas shows in Frisco and onward and upward.

832
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:43,240
I think there's room for both, especially since Death Angel doesn't play enough live

833
00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:44,300
as it is anyway.

834
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:47,600
So somebody's got to pay for the what do they call it?

835
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,600
The toilet or something.

836
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,360
The pool, the pool.

837
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,360
To heat the pool.

838
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,920
There you go.

839
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,520
All right.

840
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,200
So number two.

841
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:09,720
Number two is something that.

842
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:10,720
Number two.

843
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:11,720
Number two.

844
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:12,720
Just for you.

845
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:17,040
I need that voice to say, tickled my slayer bone.

846
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:18,640
Can you do that?

847
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:19,840
I can do that.

848
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:24,000
I love having my slayer bone tickle.

849
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:31,960
That'd be a T-shirt.

850
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:32,960
Signals from Mars T-shirt.

851
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:49,080
Give me a second.

852
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:50,080
Number two.

853
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:51,080
Number two.

854
00:54:51,080 --> 00:55:00,620
You know what's really cool about this list while you're working on that is that I actually

855
00:55:00,620 --> 00:55:07,200
watched a lot of other people's other podcasters top albums for twenty twenty four just to

856
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,400
see if I've missed anything.

857
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:15,380
And we've got a lot of stuff on this list that I saw nobody else's list.

858
00:55:15,380 --> 00:55:17,840
So that's pretty that's pretty cool.

859
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,360
Yeah, absolutely.

860
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,000
I think a lot of.

861
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,600
A lot of people just voted for the same stuff.

862
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,600
Yeah.

863
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:39,920
And again, this shows the diversity of the people that listen to this show.

864
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,260
And it's a credit to that.

865
00:55:41,260 --> 00:55:44,800
It's a credit to.

866
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,760
When these lists always come around, I always mention it, how people just I'm going to pick

867
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,000
something obscure.

868
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,200
I'm not going to pick this album because I can't vote for this.

869
00:55:55,200 --> 00:56:04,680
It just seems kind of silly to me where people just won't go with something just because

870
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,280
they enjoy it.

871
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,280
There needs to be some type of ulterior motive.

872
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:16,080
Yeah, I kind of get the feel sometimes people are voting for the band and not the album.

873
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:17,840
And I think that kind of messed up.

874
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:23,080
I feel like these these albums were voted on because of the album for the most part,

875
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:27,040
not the band.

876
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:28,040
But we'll see.

877
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,520
We'll see with number one and number two.

878
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:35,320
We'll see who's going to get stuck.

879
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:42,320
Number number two, which is what I'm about to take care of.

880
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,080
OK.

881
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,080
Diggle my slayer bone.

882
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,600
Perfect.

883
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,240
I love having my slayer bone tickled.

884
00:56:53,240 --> 00:56:59,680
OK, that that I need that for my head out on the internet.

885
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,680
Rest of the experiment.

886
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:02,680
Yeah.

887
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:03,680
All right.

888
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:04,680
Let it go.

889
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:11,320
Anyway, so number two, number two.

890
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:16,560
Surprise the shit out of me because it is an album that I kept going back to.

891
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:17,560
Oh, wow.

892
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:24,600
And I kept thinking, do I really like this album this much?

893
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,800
And I kept listening to it and listening to it.

894
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,120
And I'd listen to other things.

895
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:33,200
I've listened to a lot of these albums really deliberating, especially the last two months.

896
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:39,280
And I kept going back to this song, this album, because there were songs that just kept coming

897
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:44,280
back into my head.

898
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,800
Number two is Fire by Kitty.

899
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,920
It's a shock.

900
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,400
I voted on that.

901
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,120
Yeah, you voted on it.

902
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:59,880
Ed, what what drew you to this album?

903
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:00,880
The songs.

904
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,600
You know, I've never listened to them much.

905
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:08,920
You know, I've checked them out throughout the years, but never listened to it a lot.

906
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:14,140
But when you posted videos that they first released for this record and I put it in my

907
00:58:14,140 --> 00:58:19,320
Apple Music playlist, the songs are good.

908
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:23,480
I think this is the best I've ever heard them sound as far as for the kind of metal that

909
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:24,480
I like.

910
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,040
You know, I'm hearing all the aggressive stuff that I like.

911
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:34,240
And they're good musicians, you know, for they're all just great at what they do.

912
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,200
I thought you could say they can write some damn good metal songs.

913
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:39,200
Yeah.

914
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,440
I like your vocals, too.

915
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:47,620
I would have to say that I think this is probably much like I mentioned about the quill before

916
00:58:47,620 --> 00:58:52,160
each album has always had three, four or five songs that have been good.

917
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,040
But I think this is their first album.

918
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,640
They took a long time to record this.

919
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,540
It's been like years between albums, something like that.

920
00:59:00,540 --> 00:59:04,800
But I think it was worth the wait because.

921
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,560
For the most part, the entire album is good.

922
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,600
Yeah, it is.

923
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,120
So I'm happy that it got the number two.

924
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:17,280
I'm surprised I got the number two, but quite a few people voted for it.

925
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:22,640
So yeah, Steve, I'm happy.

926
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:23,640
What's that?

927
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:24,640
Steve Hoker.

928
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:25,640
He probably like this.

929
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,640
He looked like this one.

930
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,640
Yeah, shocking.

931
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:37,840
Shocking as as as the quote went the other day in a

932
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:43,840
in a wrestling group that we have, somebody said to him, surprising, it has boobs and

933
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:44,840
you like it.

934
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:45,840
So

935
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:51,560
I've got to catch up with him.

936
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:57,600
There's several, a few indie rock bands, I think, from this year that makes me think

937
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,640
of him when I listen to him.

938
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,600
Yeah, there's going to be here and check in with us.

939
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,480
Yeah, there's there's quite a few indie rock bands that he voted for.

940
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,240
I'll post the entire list.

941
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,640
Yeah, I want to see that.

942
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:11,640
Yeah.

943
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,040
So good job, Steve.

944
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,040
Yeah.

945
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,760
All right.

946
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:24,680
So let's just recap here real quick before jumping on to number one.

947
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,520
Number 10.

948
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,180
It is Kitty.

949
01:00:28,180 --> 01:00:29,180
Not Kitty.

950
01:00:29,180 --> 01:00:32,520
It is Poppy with negative space.

951
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:33,980
Number nine.

952
01:00:33,980 --> 01:00:38,380
The Quill with Wheel of Illusion.

953
01:00:38,380 --> 01:00:40,000
Number eight.

954
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,120
Category seven with category seven.

955
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:44,480
Number seven.

956
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,220
Bring Me the Horizon with Utopia.

957
01:00:48,220 --> 01:00:49,640
Number six.

958
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:56,680
Saxon with Hell, Fire and Damnation.

959
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,140
Number five.

960
01:00:58,140 --> 01:01:01,800
The Warning with Keep Me Fed.

961
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,320
Number four.

962
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:09,120
Cemetery Skyline with Nordic Gothic.

963
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,680
Number three.

964
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:15,560
Kerry King with From Hell I Rise.

965
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:16,560
Number two.

966
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,720
Kitty with Fire.

967
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:26,780
And at number one.

968
01:01:26,780 --> 01:01:27,780
Number one.

969
01:01:27,780 --> 01:01:28,780
I figured.

970
01:01:28,780 --> 01:01:31,880
Judas Priest.

971
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,880
Invincible Shield.

972
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:41,880
Jeremy, you called this essentially when the album came out.

973
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,040
Maybe it was even before the album came out.

974
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,120
You mentioned that this was going to be your number one.

975
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,440
Jeremy, your comments on Invincible Shield.

976
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:52,440
Yeah.

977
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,440
I've probably got a lot of comments about it.

978
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,320
I mean, just a few.

979
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:01,940
It's amazing that they could produce such a great album so late in their career.

980
01:02:01,940 --> 01:02:03,200
It's better than Firepower.

981
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,880
And obviously, Firepower is an improvement on Redeemer of Souls.

982
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,880
So they've just kind of got better over the last three albums.

983
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,520
It's incredible because there's been so many illnesses in the band.

984
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:21,400
At least three members that we know of have been quite seriously ill at some point.

985
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,920
They seem to have gone over their sort of back catalog and drawn on influences through

986
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,120
all their previous albums.

987
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,480
But they've got this energy on this album.

988
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:32,480
It's just amazing.

989
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,200
The production is incredible.

990
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,320
You can play it again and again and it still sounds fresh.

991
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,880
I know you, Victor, were not so keen on Panic Attack, the very first single that came out.

992
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:43,880
You liked you.

993
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,800
You then went on to like songs after that.

994
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:51,040
I really like Panic Attack because I get excited when it comes on because I think I'm going

995
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,120
to hear the whole album again.

996
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:58,000
And I saw them play a few of these tracks live.

997
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,120
They knit into their set really well.

998
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:01,960
I wouldn't mind if they played the whole album.

999
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,200
And I don't normally like that with a band.

1000
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:08,760
I know Iron Maiden have done it in the past.

1001
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:10,400
Not all fans like that sort of thing.

1002
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:15,320
But I would actually go and pay and listen to this whole album because I think it's so

1003
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:16,320
fresh.

1004
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:22,880
I actually think it's probably in their top three albums that they've ever made.

1005
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,480
Because I'm just enjoying it so much still after it's been released.

1006
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:32,280
And I play some of the older albums and I think, yeah, I like songs on the other albums,

1007
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,680
but I don't like necessarily the entire album.

1008
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,880
So I just think big thumbs up to Judas Priest.

1009
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,400
They're killing it.

1010
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,240
And it's amazing what they're doing.

1011
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:48,160
And the other major bands are not producing stuff as good as they were, whereas Judas

1012
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:49,160
Priest are.

1013
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,840
Metallica, I wouldn't say are.

1014
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:57,800
I don't we know that Iron Maiden are not, but Priest are.

1015
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,480
Yeah.

1016
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:05,400
And I will say that Panic Attack has grown on me because over the last two months listening

1017
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:16,280
to this album over and over again, I'm like, yeah, I don't get why I didn't like this

1018
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:17,360
song initially.

1019
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:23,640
I guess I was scared that they were going to be revisiting Turbo with the album because

1020
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,800
of the intro.

1021
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,160
Also I think you thought that it was quite repetitive.

1022
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,720
But if you listen, it's a live enough to midnight one, isn't it?

1023
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,280
Not live enough to break in the law.

1024
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:36,600
It's a break in the law where they keep repeating the chorus.

1025
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:37,800
Or Firepower.

1026
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,120
Firepower was similar to that.

1027
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:46,640
And the thing is, Firepower, for example, was probably the song that I liked the least

1028
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:52,080
off of that album as well because of that, because it was so repetitive.

1029
01:04:52,080 --> 01:05:01,000
Tony is saying today to number one, to number one for Judas Priest on two podcasts I follow.

1030
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Wow.

1031
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,000
OK.

1032
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Cool.

1033
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:12,440
Yeah, I think the most remarkable thing is that again, they're putting out quality material

1034
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,160
this late into their career.

1035
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:20,120
And they're the one band out of all the bands that I said, please work with Andy Sneep that

1036
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:27,040
listened to me somehow through osmosis because it wasn't through me actually talking to them.

1037
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,000
But these last two albums have proved it.

1038
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:37,080
And it makes you wonder, you know, had Andy Sneep have been with them on Redeemer of Souls

1039
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:44,120
or even with Angel of Retribution, Nostradamus, God forbid.

1040
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:48,280
How different those albums may have been sonically.

1041
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:53,200
Maybe also, I mean, I don't know what type of input he has with some of these songs,

1042
01:05:53,200 --> 01:06:02,560
but let's be honest, he's getting the best that's come out of this band in decades.

1043
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:03,920
These last two albums.

1044
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:05,160
And again, Jeremy, you said it.

1045
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:09,240
I think this is the blueprint.

1046
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:13,840
There have been albums over the years where I've said, you know, for me, Rat Infestation,

1047
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:21,720
for example, or Van Halen's A Different Kind of Truth to meet more albums to say, hey,

1048
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:23,460
look, bands from the 80s.

1049
01:06:23,460 --> 01:06:27,160
This is what you need to do to put out a great album nowadays.

1050
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:33,520
Well, I think Judas Priest has done that not only for 80s bands, but 70s bands and just

1051
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:34,680
bands that we love.

1052
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:36,040
Like you brought up Metallica.

1053
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:44,400
I mean, I wish Metallica would work with an Andy Sneap to hone them in and kind of get

1054
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:45,840
them back on track.

1055
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,880
It's not to say that I don't like 72 Seasons, but I've mentioned this a few times.

1056
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:57,320
To me, 72 Seasons is Metallica becoming Motorhead where they're, yeah, the album is decent,

1057
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,120
but they're kind of just treading the same terrain over and over again.

1058
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:05,840
Whereas Priest here is pushing what they're doing.

1059
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:13,160
I still haven't decided if I like this album more than Firepower or not, but I will say

1060
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:18,720
that it does make one hell of an album combining the two, or one hell of a playlist.

1061
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:23,320
So there you go.

1062
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:29,760
Anyone else want to mention something about Invincible Shield or Judas Priest?

1063
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,800
Great job.

1064
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:32,800
Yeah.

1065
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,880
It's a really, really good album.

1066
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:37,200
It was my number two.

1067
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:38,200
Okay.

1068
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:39,240
Yeah, me too.

1069
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:40,240
Number two for me.

1070
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:41,240
Cool.

1071
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:49,400
And if I wasn't such a thrash metalhead, it would have been my number one, I'm sure.

1072
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:50,800
Cool.

1073
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:54,560
Hey, number two isn't shabby either.

1074
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:55,560
No.

1075
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:56,560
Not bad.

1076
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:57,560
Good stuff.

1077
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:58,560
Good list.

1078
01:07:58,560 --> 01:07:59,560
Well done, people who voted.

1079
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:00,560
What's that?

1080
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:05,080
I said, well done, people who voted.

1081
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:13,240
Yeah, I think we got the kind of cross section of what was voted on was very different.

1082
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:18,960
And I think at the end of the day, this gets us all to talk about music, to turn us on

1083
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,360
to different things that maybe we hadn't listened to.

1084
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:26,840
Otherwise throughout the year, there's definitely some things that I need to check out that

1085
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:32,840
people submitted.

1086
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,160
And there are other things that throughout the year, I thought that I liked more.

1087
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:40,520
But when I went back to really listen to them over and over again, they just weren't, they

1088
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,720
didn't have the same kind of staying power.

1089
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:50,720
So when I do post this entire 77 album list to the website, hopefully you guys peruse

1090
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:57,080
it and find other albums that maybe you say, hey, you know, I don't know who that is.

1091
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:58,080
Let me check that out.

1092
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:02,120
Or hey, I didn't know so-and-so released an album this year.

1093
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,960
Let me check it out and see if I like it or not.

1094
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:13,000
So yeah, so that is our countdown for 2024.

1095
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:17,040
Once again, Judas Priest Invincible Shield, our number one.

1096
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:21,080
2025 is shaping up to be a really good year as well.

1097
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:27,440
Jeremy and I will be back discussing monthly reviews.

1098
01:09:27,440 --> 01:09:31,440
Hopefully some of those has helped you guys shape some of your lists and hopefully turn

1099
01:09:31,440 --> 01:09:32,840
you on to some music.

1100
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:40,760
And as I mentioned earlier this week, when I got to talk to the guys from Hooligan Nation,

1101
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:50,840
I said one of my favorite things is to hear people say, you know, thanks to you, my wife

1102
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:56,720
is going to complain about me emptying my pockets, picking up some new albums that you

1103
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:57,720
turn me on to.

1104
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:01,600
So that's always a thrill to hear that kind of stuff.

1105
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,480
So hopefully we continue that trend in 2025.

1106
01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:10,680
We help continue to turn you on to new music and different things and bands you love, bands

1107
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,520
maybe you never heard of before.

1108
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:23,360
But Singles from Mars is here to help continue to, you know, put gasoline on the fire.

1109
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,760
I was close to quoting Gene Sinz.

1110
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:31,640
But yeah, gasoline on the fire.

1111
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,600
How about that?

1112
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,800
This is a really good show.

1113
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:41,160
I listen a lot of times to the podcasts at the beach or taking walks and I realized with

1114
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:45,560
you and Jeremy, when you do the new albums coming out, that I can't do that because I'm

1115
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,120
like, I want to stop and like, what are you guys talking about?

1116
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,240
I want to search and listen.

1117
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:55,680
So I now those shows, I have to specifically do it while I'm live in front of them or not

1118
01:10:55,680 --> 01:11:03,480
live while I'm from my computer to track since the man is keeping us down with playing snippets

1119
01:11:03,480 --> 01:11:05,920
of whatever, but hey, this is a good episode.

1120
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,280
My live feedback without me having to write in what I'd be saying right now at the beach

1121
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,440
while I'm lying there.

1122
01:11:11,440 --> 01:11:13,640
Hey, Victor.

1123
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:14,640
Yes.

1124
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:20,540
Can we go around the group and if Sean and Tony are still there, I want to hear everybody's

1125
01:11:20,540 --> 01:11:22,080
number one for the year.

1126
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,800
Oh, I can read them off if you want.

1127
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:25,800
Okay.

1128
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:27,760
Well, I'm just hoping those guys just type in there.

1129
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,560
Come on, everybody get the voice.

1130
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:30,560
They're number one.

1131
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:34,120
We can start with the man in black over here.

1132
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,880
Jeremy, Jeremy's number one.

1133
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:37,880
Go ahead, Jeremy.

1134
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:38,880
Judas Priest.

1135
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,880
Judas Priest, yeah, of course.

1136
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:42,880
Nailed it.

1137
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:43,880
My number one was Saxon.

1138
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:44,880
Okay.

1139
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:46,880
Number two is Judas Priest.

1140
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:47,880
Dan.

1141
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,600
I put it together.

1142
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,600
I think it was Tuck Smith.

1143
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:55,000
Is that what I wrote?

1144
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,720
Let me see.

1145
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,760
You know what?

1146
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,080
It's such a listenable record.

1147
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:04,640
The songs are just well crafted.

1148
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,440
They're easy to listen to.

1149
01:12:06,440 --> 01:12:09,880
It's rock, but it's moody and it's what I'm into right now.

1150
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:16,480
No, again, I listen to Slayer and Kerry King, but yeah, I really enjoyed the record.

1151
01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:17,920
It came out of nowhere.

1152
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:22,280
Not well, it surprised me and it's just they're just they're just hooks.

1153
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:27,880
So that album is one that I had written down to check out.

1154
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:32,560
It's one of those things where there's just so much stuff coming out that things just

1155
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,280
slip through the cracks.

1156
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:40,520
So that's definitely something I'm going to go back and check out.

1157
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:41,520
It's now on my list.

1158
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:42,520
So thank you, Dan.

1159
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,560
Yeah, we should add your number one.

1160
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,520
Kerry King for me, of course.

1161
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:50,200
Yeah.

1162
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:51,200
Let's see.

1163
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:56,000
Sean and Tony haven't responded, but Sean's number one was The Warning.

1164
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,600
Okay, cool.

1165
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:01,880
And Tony's number one.

1166
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,680
Yeah, there he is.

1167
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:09,400
He just mentioned it.

1168
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:14,160
BMTO.

1169
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:22,080
Bring me the horizon.

1170
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:23,080
Or O-Ryzen.

1171
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,080
Bring me the O-Ryzen.

1172
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,120
The H-S-I-L-A-N-D in Spanish.

1173
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:30,120
Makes sense.

1174
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:34,760
If it was my band, it would be Bring Me the Oreos.

1175
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:36,680
I want to join that one.

1176
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:42,520
Speaking of then of you and Jeremy, I mean, what I'm looking forward to is the new Anthrax

1177
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,360
album and hopefully a new Roxanne album.

1178
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:46,360
Go ahead.

1179
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:47,360
Oh, yeah, Roxanne.

1180
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:49,360
I still need to see Roxanne, Dan.

1181
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:50,880
I just saw him two weeks ago.

1182
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:51,880
You weren't there.

1183
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:57,080
You need to give me more of a heads up.

1184
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,240
I hear they're coming back later this year.

1185
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,160
So I'll see you there.

1186
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:02,160
All right.

1187
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:03,160
Well, watch from Vegas.

1188
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:07,160
I'll just need to keep an eye on Vant.

1189
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:08,680
They don't always play there, though.

1190
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:10,200
Not always.

1191
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:12,200
I think their last album was fantastic.

1192
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:17,280
So yeah, so the new Anthrax hopefully comes out in 25.

1193
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:18,280
Yeah.

1194
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:22,080
Supposedly, it's going to be 25.

1195
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:23,080
That's OK.

1196
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:24,080
A new testament.

1197
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:25,080
Good.

1198
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:28,080
Yeah, a new testament.

1199
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:34,040
Yeah, there's a bunch.

1200
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:41,960
I actually have to start to put together the list that we that Jeremy and I usually pull

1201
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:43,880
from.

1202
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:50,880
And yeah, there's going to be a lot of stuff that I need to start to add this weekend.

1203
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,740
And we'll we'll be talking about new releases shortly.

1204
01:14:54,740 --> 01:14:57,260
We won't.

1205
01:14:57,260 --> 01:14:58,260
We'll keep that going.

1206
01:14:58,260 --> 01:14:59,260
How about that?

1207
01:14:59,260 --> 01:15:03,720
So yeah, that's one of my favorite podcasts, by the way.

1208
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:07,480
I mean, I listen to everything you put out, of course, Victor.

1209
01:15:07,480 --> 01:15:11,280
But that's the one I get really excited when I see we've got a new one.

1210
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,200
That is fun.

1211
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,600
But I'm with I'm with Dan, too, because I listen while I'm walking and I'm like, wait,

1212
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:17,600
wait, wait a second.

1213
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:18,600
I got to write this down.

1214
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:19,600
I got to.

1215
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:20,600
Yeah.

1216
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:21,600
That he like again.

1217
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:22,600
Crap.

1218
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:23,600
No.

1219
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:24,600
Yeah.

1220
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:30,740
Well, that's that's similar to me as I'm out for walks or whatever.

1221
01:15:30,740 --> 01:15:33,280
And I'm like, oh, that's a great topic for the show.

1222
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:34,280
I'll write it down.

1223
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,120
Now, remember when I get back to the car and then I get back to the car.

1224
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,520
So what was I talking about?

1225
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,280
So I did the same thing.

1226
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,500
So those of you who are not part of the Patreon group, if you were, you would get the almost

1227
01:15:45,500 --> 01:15:48,840
weekly VMR podcast.

1228
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,600
And I usually listen to that when I'm out walking as well.

1229
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:52,720
And I'm like making mental notes.

1230
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,880
OK, I need to make a comment about this and this and this and this.

1231
01:15:55,880 --> 01:16:00,880
And then I get back home and I'm like, what was I wanted to comment on?

1232
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:01,880
Yeah.

1233
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:06,680
So those are, by the way, really, really fun and interesting podcasts.

1234
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,400
So well, two bucks, two bucks a month, people.

1235
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:10,400
Come on.

1236
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:19,120
I'm glad I'm glad to hear that the that the effect is that it tickle my Slayer bone.

1237
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:23,280
That's what those episodes do for you.

1238
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,240
Oh, I got to you.

1239
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,480
It's not as good as that, dude.

1240
01:16:28,480 --> 01:16:34,000
This is why AI will never replace people because Ed is so much better at saying that.

1241
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,720
See that I'm going to have to have Ed record the sound.

1242
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,760
I love having my Slayer bone tickled.

1243
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:45,320
I love it.

1244
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:46,320
I want that.

1245
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:50,600
And then I'm going to play every time I play a Kerry King song on Yarg Metal, I'll put

1246
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:52,160
that right before it.

1247
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:53,160
Yeah, there you go.

1248
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:54,160
That'd be great.

1249
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:55,160
Yeah.

1250
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:57,520
Either that or number two.

1251
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,520
All right.

1252
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,120
Excellent.

1253
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:14,720
So on that note, I do want to thank Jeremy, Brad, Dan and Ed for joining us live here.

1254
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:21,480
I want to thank Sean and Tony for joining us in the chat and anyone that happened to

1255
01:17:21,480 --> 01:17:32,160
join us on any of the various platforms today, we did go out for the first time on Rumble

1256
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:33,160
and TikTok.

1257
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:38,280
We'll see if that has anything to do with people checking out this episode live or maybe

1258
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,320
any repeats.

1259
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,400
And yeah, share the episode with your friends.

1260
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:44,400
Let us know.

1261
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,240
Do you agree with the list?

1262
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:47,520
What did we miss?

1263
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,840
And check out the 77 albums.

1264
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,200
Did anything that you enjoy?

1265
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:57,280
Did that fall criminally low or did it not even make it there?

1266
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:02,040
Or did any album that you thought was kind of too high should have been lower?

1267
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:07,880
So and if you thought something should have been higher vote next time.

1268
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:08,880
Damn it.

1269
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,280
It's not as if I'm not telling people that these shows are coming up.

1270
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:18,080
So anyway, on that note, I got one thing to say before we go, Victor.

1271
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:19,080
What's that?

1272
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:24,160
Rumble sounds like it's the Steve Hoker number one dating app.

1273
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:25,160
Yeah.

1274
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:29,720
That's a good one.

1275
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:34,240
I'm not sure, but yeah, oh, definitely.

1276
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,840
We'll see in any event.

1277
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,320
Thanks once again for joining us.

1278
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,880
We'll see you next time right here on signals from Mars.

1279
01:18:40,880 --> 01:19:06,360
See you folks.
