    Blood Avantasia - Absolute Dragons

    Matt and Blake review Blood Incantation "Absolute Elsewhere" and Avantasia "Here Be Dragons". One is good and one is bad. Can you guess which? YOU CANNOT. Or you can. It doesn't matter.

    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

    Seven Spires: A Fortress Called Home

    No funny title 'cause we didn't really think this album was very bad. What are we even doing here? Do you even want to listen to this podcast if we LIKE albums? Is there any point if we aren't hating on things? Why do I ask so many questions in the episode descriptions? This album came out in June but you want to hear what we think of it NOW! Except we also recorded what we thought of it in June so none of this makes any sense. You should complain about it at us on Bluesky: @theonetruematt and @Buffalo70
