This week we discuss the 6th full length album from one of my favorite bands since my high school days. Revocation's Great is our Sin is a great album that somehow still manages to be somewhat underwhelming? We talk about how having a such a consistent catalog and album release schedule can actually hurt the final product even if the final product is actually very good. We also do our best to try and answer the question of what hyper specific type of extreme metal Revocation is. Too thrashy to be death metal. Too death metal to be thrash. Too riff focused to be progressive. Too groovy to be technical death metal. Who knows. Also this week in the news corner we do our best to go over the case of Oceano and the Stolen Poster Art as well as give you a sneak peak and early review of the next Clipping album which gets released March 14th but we got an advanced copy by preordering the album. That's called journalism.

Even though it's February already we're still stuck in 2024 over here finally counting down our favorite albums of the year as well as doing our best to recap the year in music with little to no preparation. It was a year of rap beefs, country artists topping the charts, non-country artists doing country to try and top the charts, Brat Summer, Doom Metal Winter, Sad Girl Autumn, so on and so forth. We try to cover the full gammut of music as we each countdown our individual top 10 albums of the year. So I guess it's really a top 20. Who cares we're back! Hosted on Ausha.

OBS tried to stop us. A hurricane tried to stop us. My crippling ADD tried to stop us but we can't be stopped. We're back and we're covering obscure mid-2010s indie pop album In The Cards by Robert Delong. While still falling into some of the tropes of the EDM-tinged indie pop of it's time, In The Cards has enough personality and big enough hooks to stand above most of the artists in that crowd. Too bad it never quite reached the general public. In the news corner this week it's all about bands disrespecting the memories of their deceased lead singers. First we finally cover the storm of controversy around Emily Armstrong, the new vocalist of Linkin Park. Then we cover Power Trip going on tour opening for a certain band that Riley Gale would definitely NOT be happy with.

That's right we're back baby. After a long hiatus we're finally covering the long promised Underneath by Code Orange. It's hard to understate how much of a splash this made in the metalcore and hardcore scenes when this album was first released. From the lead-up and promo, to what was probably the first lockdown-era live streamed concert for the release, to the subsequent "This band was the future of metal!" hype train that follows, I was on board 100% the entire time. It's also hard to understate how hard Code Orange has fumbled every subsequent creative decision since the release of this album and you better believe we talk about all of it. This week in the news corner you know we had to check in with our old friend Mr. Ronald Robinette Radke and break down his absolutely insane lawsuit against The Internet's Busiest Music Nerd, Anthony Fantano, for being a wittle to mean to him and hurting his feewings.

Our release schedule is all screwed up and based on vibes at this point so here's Episode 37, featuring even more Maynard James Keenan! This week we cover Maynard's jokey solo project Puscifer, which is neither fully a joke nor is it really a solo project. The more mellow, chilled out and synth-focused side project of the Tool frontman is often overlooked as a joke band that only exists for hardcore Tool fans, this episode goes a little deeper to figure out what the band's second album really has to offer.This week in the news corner we do an update on the ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick however this was recorded before Kendrick's response track dropped. We also discuss the new Taylor Swift album for a bit before getting to our main story, metalcore being way too demonic! Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

This week we take a look at The White Stripes' second to last, and possibly most controversial album, Get Behind Me Satan. This album has my favorite story of buying a record to date and we also go down a fun reddit rabbit hole trying to figure out who the people on the alternate vinyl cover are.This week in the news corner we start to talk about the current "big 3" rap beef and J. Cole's apology however we recorded this episode before the Drake song came out so this is a developing story. We also discuss the Liquid Death x ELF corpse paint collab which I use as an opportunity to get on my soapbox about how much I hate advertising.Twitter/Instagram - @MBFrecordspod (https://soundcloud.com/MBFrecordspod)Amanda's IG/TikTok/YouTube - @MothraLunaJason's Twitter - @FrequencyShifts (https://soundcloud.com/FrequencyShifts)Jason's Discogs - https://www.discogs.com/user/FrequencyShift/collection Theme music by SHADE08 x 80root on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bewQPpTnfgg&list=PPSV Hosted on Ausha.

It's time to expand our minds and open our third eye as we finally dive into the only band that manages to be equal parts butt rock and prog rock. It's Tool Time folks and you know what that means. We're talkin time signatures, aliens, funky basslines, and deceptively emotional lyrics. Plus some of the funniest negative reviews we've had on the show so far.This week in the news corner we do a rapid fire round up of some (mostly death doom) albums that have come out recently before spending about 15 minutes giving our thoughts about the new Beyonce country album.Twitter/Instagram - @MBFrecordspod (https://soundcloud.com/MBFrecordspod)Amanda's IG/TikTok/YouTube - @MothraLunaJason's Twitter - @FrequencyShifts (https://soundcloud.com/FrequencyShifts)Jason's Discogs - https://www.discogs.com/user/FrequencyShift/collection Theme music by SHADE08 x 80root on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bewQPpTnfgg&list=PPSV Hosted on Ausha.

This week we continue to look at progressively heavier and heavier album with Gaza's chaotic, sludgy metalcore sophomore album He Is Never Coming Back from 2009. The very first vinyl I ever bought just so I could get a cool hoodie. We ever go into the problematic history of the band and the subsequent breakup that brought us another very cool sludgy metalcore band with Cult Leader.This week in the news corner we discuss whether or not Scowl are hypocrites for dropping out of SXSW but continuing to tour with A Day To Remember (spoiler: no). We also make fun of perpetual manbaby MGK having a little temper tantrum because people on twitter are posting jokes about his upcoming album.Twitter/Instagram - @MBFrecordspod (https://soundcloud.com/MBFrecordspod)Amanda's IG/TikTok/YouTube - @MothraLunaJason's Twitter - @FrequencyShifts (https://soundcloud.com/FrequencyShifts)Jason's Discogs - https://www.discogs.com/user/FrequencyShift/collection Theme music by SHADE08 x 80root on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bewQPpTnfgg&list=PPSV Hosted on Ausha.

We do our best to untangle the intricacies and subtle differences between grindcore, deathgrind, and death metal as well as try to decipher what these woke libs are screaming about!In the news corner this week we look at one of the funnier Kanye stories in recent memory where he sent the twitch streamer Kai Cenat the wrong size sweatpants and then had his manager John Monopoly (real name) threaten Kai because the pants didn't fit.

It's time to take a trip down memory lane with what is definitely the album Jason has heard most in his life.
