    Fleetwood Mac's Rumors (Can't Believe You've Never Heard)

    We can't believe we've never listened to all of Fleetwood Mac's seminal album Rumors. We do a deep dive into the hits and the deep cuts. Blake coins the term Radio-itis and we explore what that means and why Rumors has it.

    Old Bands, New Members - Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Kamelot and more

    Matt and Blake catch up on band news that is JUST AS INTERESTING NOW as it was when it happened 6 months ago, which is why you still want to watch / listen to this episode. Deep philosophical questions are tackled like when should bands retire? Why are they bothering to go on with a bunch of randos who they don't let do stuff? Which band is this about? Only one way to find out!

    Fellowship Pretend to Play Guitar and Be Hobbits

    Matt and Blake force themselves to listen to The Stars Over Eternity or The Skies Above Eternity or The Skies Over Insanity whatever the second Fellowship album is called. They've been described as "single handedly keeping power metal alive" which is possibly the saddest thing ever said about power metal. RIP power metal.

    More Nevermore or Sadboy Starsearch

    Jeff Loomis and Van Williams reunite to form Nevermore 2.0 (Warrel's dead and Jeff wasn't invited) and hold open internet auditions for a new singer and bass player. Matt and Blake discuss what this could lead to and what the chances are it produces anything musically interesting. If nothing else it will definitely produce CONTENT.

    Dream Theater's Nocturnal Emissions (or Parasomnia or whatever)

    Matt and Blake review Dream Theater's new album "Parasomnia" aka "Nocturnal Emissions" aka "Mike Portnoy's CPAP Machine". Its a concept album exploring how quickly Dream Theater can put you to sleep by playing riffs they've recycled so many times you're not sure if its an intentional quote of their own work or if they're just still deeply out of ideas. Fans (nobody) have been clamoring for an episode where we don't like the thing we listen to and we finally deliver... well, ok Blake kinda liked it? We have a lot to say. Just listen to the episode.

    Opeth's Last Will and Testament

    Episode 88 Is Opeth BACK or is Mike just dumping his last good ideas? Do we love the album concept or are we annoyed that the song titles are a character I don't know how to type? Does this prog metal album achieve the jazz? None of these questions and more on this episode of Your Music Is Bad ...And You Should Feel Bad. Find us on Bluesky: Matt - @theonetruematt.bsky.social Blake - @buffalo70.bsky.social
