    #283 TOP 20 METAL ALBUMS OF 1985

    1985. Back To The Future would become the highest grossing film of the year, the Live Aid benefit would be hosted simultaneously in 2 different venues on 2 different continents, and the Coca-Cola Company would experience a catastrophic failure with “New Coke” by (once again) failing to put its namesake ingredient from the ORIGINAL “Original Formula” back in their legendary beverage.    We are well aware that there are multiple listicles already out there featuring the “Top 20 Metal Albums of 1985” because 40 years is quite the chronological landmark. Nevertheless, we still felt compelled to construct our own list. It’s not necessarily all thrash, but it’s not all “gloves of shame” either. In short, it’s a pretty substantial sampler of the albums that WE feel represent everything great about metal in1985.   It’s time to shake off those “cobwebs” and prepare for some “extraordinary news” as well as “a story of redemption and forgiveness” regarding a previous negative review we received. Learn about the earliest documented “fake news” regarding Elizabeth Bathory’s alleged use of “skin conditioner” and get a sneak preview of the new album from “Dick Johnson & The Ball Brothers” when you JOIN US for the TOP 20 METAL ALBUMS OF 1985.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.

    #282 - Deep Cuts of the First Four from The Big Four Part 1

    “I wanna talk about DOWNTIME…”   Many moons ago during the B.R. era (Before Russ), back in the early days of this podcast with Adam, we took on The 1st Four of The Big 4, taking a look at each of the debut albums from Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer, respectively.   To take that episode a step further (and to add a slight twist to the original premise), we thought it might be fun (and a bit of a challenge) to attempt to identify which tracks would be considered the DEEP CUTS from The First Four albums of EACH of The Big Four thrash bands.  Be sure to check out our Patreon for a brand-new way to “splat” with some “liquid sneeze” and remember that when it comes to Conway Twitty, “the power was in his hair”. Don’t forget to pick up your “Queenthrax” tickets, find out why “English is stupid”, and get ready to JOIN US (whenever you get a little “DOWNTIME”) as we begin our descent and dig down deeply into THE BACKSIDE OF THE FIRST FOUR OF THE BIG FOUR.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast   Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.

    #281 - Ozzy Diary of a Madman Album Review

    DIARY OF A MADMAN, the 2nd album from OZZY OSBOURNE (and his band, BLIZZARD OF OZZ) is a perfect example of how an artist’s follow-up album often eclipses their debut outing. With a heftier mix and heavier riffs, darker lyrical themes & eerie gothic metal elements, and of course the disturbingly graphic album artwork, DIARY represents a quantum leap forward for “The Prince Of Darkness”, combining each of the aforementioned components into one of the darkest and heaviest metal albums ever to have emerged from 1981. Get ready to “call the lawyers” and prepare to be bathed “in a huge spray…of light” from those who may engage in “different tax practices” than you’re accustomed to. Prepare to bear witness to the quintessential heavy metal album that would leave an indelible mark on all metal subgenres that would follow it, grab your favorite “juice box”, and JOIN US as we flip through the pages of macabre madness and metal mayhem that dwell within the DIARY OF A MADMAN.

    #280 - 2024 YEAR END WRAP-UP

    It’s time to say goodbye to 2024 with our Bunkerpoon International holiday celebration, where we will be waxing nostalgic on this year’s episodes and simultaneously ripping holes in the “space time continuum” whilst checking out some highlights and indulging in our own “Pepperidge Farm moments” of metal infused lunacy.    Remember to “expect the worst & hope for the best” whenever consuming a “vegetable shake” and understand that being called a “handsome woman” is flattering, “doppelgangers” are eerily unsettling, and our “Spotify Wrapped” referenced one episode that was “508% more” impressive than average. Get ready to break out the “chunkless gravy”, embrace the “Dick Flex” theme of the episode, wish everyone a Merry Christmas (and Happy Boxing Day) and JOIN US for our 2024 YEAR END WRAP-UP, including a few goodies and surprises from INSIDE SANTA’S SACK.   Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.

    #279 - HAIR METAL

    Just to be 100% TRANSparent, this is NOT an officially sanctioned “Chronicles” episode. However, it is the time of year for the TRANS-Siberian Orchestra (featuring the “Savatage Brothers”) and we felt compelled by the power of the holiday season to delve into the realm of HAIR METAL and reflect back on one of the least desirable (yet often most satisfying) subgenres of metal alongside memories of poon from the days of yore with the kinds of girls you would “meet once at a party and never talk to again”. Really, the entire objective of hair metal was to give actual metal heads an “in” to attaining money, drugs, and (especially) poon back in the day.    Dust off your “gloves of shame” and get ready to “rip the band-aid off” and “power through it” because it’s time to “hold hands”, discover some “stall appropriate noises” for the next time you’ve got to “deuce” and JOIN US as we get into the good, the bad, and the horrific of HAIR METAL.

    #278 DIO Last In Line Album Review

    “I’m sorry, what was that? What was the last thing you said?”   Forty years ago this year (specifically, July 2, 1984), DIO (the man and the band) released THE LAST IN LINE, the follow up to their 1983 debut and the first album to feature full time keyboardist Claude Schnell. Forty years later, it still maintains its relevance throughout the realms of metal, especially when compared (relatively speaking) with music from 40 years prior to 1984!   Think about the music from 40 years before 1984. There is absolutely NO WAY anyone was listening to Bing Crosby ANYWHERE in 1984! Yet, in 2024, it is still a perfectly plausible concept and is totally socially acceptable to be blasting THE LAST IN LINE while riding around, “shooting hoops”, or annoying everyone while fueling up at the gas station.   Remember that the investment in hibachi is always worth it (because it’s delicious) and everyone could use “a good tongue lashing” on their birthday. Discover “the sound of Murray” after he’s clocked out for the day, understand that “the gloves are off”, realize “you’d only feel guilty if they name checked you in the note” and get ready to “repurpose the DEA” when you JOIN US for a dive into some classic D&D metal with DIO: THE LAST IN LINE.

    #277 WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR THRASH

    WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR THRASH is like the perfect blending of our Building The Perfect Thrash Album Vol. 1 episode from 2 years ago (Dec 8, 2022 to be exact) along with our We Sold Our Soul For Sabbath episode from March of 2024, with some ever so slight nuances to help keep things interesting.   As with our previous episodes which focused on various thrash bands from the days of yore (specifically the Top 10 Thrash Albums…And Then Some and Thrash Story Core episodes from way back in 2019, the Thrash Metal History (’81 to ’87) episode from 2020, our Obscure Thrash episode from April 2021, and the most recent, our Thrash Family Tree episode from January 2024), we just decided to dig into our collective memory banks and pull up the bands and the tunes that help to make us feel more alive…sort of like the feeling “when a breeze blows past your bone”.   Similar to the above referenced thrash-centric episodes, the majority of the songs we discussed are by old school thrash bands we grew up with, many of which have “grown up” themselves and are still crushing, destroying, and head banging away to this very day worldwide.   Also note that, unlike We Sold Our Soul For Sabbath, this is not our version of a “thrash greatest hits” album (although it could certainly qualify as part of a multi-volume “Best of Thrash” box set). There were no repeats, and a few surprise choices that would have made us wet ourselves had we had access to it back in the day. There’s no voting, there’s no ranking, we’re simply indulging in one of the greatest genres of metal ever to exist.   Prepare to behold another horrifying example of “vomit cuisine” after fixing yourself a heaping helping of “ham salad”, discover why “newd” is better than “all dressed” (especially when it comes to “slider buns”), learn why “the head game” is a good barometer for “the main course and the dessert” and worry not, because this episode is (for the most part) NOT “gonna end up being about roast beef sandwiches”.   Get ready to embrace your inner thrash bone and JOIN US for a dual named episode with one unified purpose, because since WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR THRASH we are offering up to you our 2nd Installment of BUILDING THE PERFECT THRASH ALBUM.

    #276 TOOL Ænima Album Review

    AENIMA, the 1996 album from progressive metal shamans TOOL, is a progressive, heavy, and atmospheric album loaded with layers and layers of sonic texture that should be enjoyed with headphones to ensure the ideal experience. In short, if Tool is the metal community’s Pink Floyd, then AENIMA is most definitely their Dark Side Of The Moon. And as with any prog album of such incredible quality, you must listen to it “front to back”, in its entirety because it’s truly a “start to finish” experience.   You may recall that we did an album dive of this many, many moons ago, right around the time of the COVID pandemic, during the “B.R.” period. It was a Metal Nerdery two-some, it was done over a Zoom call, it was definitely weird, and it was the only time we ever “did it” with only “two thirds the nerds” (it’s episode 38, released April 2, 2020, btw. You’ve been warned).   Always remember to reach “Finger…knuckle…elbow…and shoulder deep inside the borderline” in order to properly clean out and prepare for your upcoming “analectomy”. Prepare to enjoy “The BALLS of satan” (“Und keine eier”), enjoy some reflections regarding ample “shoulder tits” that were shown “at a bar”, and a bunch of assorted “piss hockey snot” associated with “where rich people live (and eat) in Atlanta”.   Be advised that “white people rapping is kinda like girls talking about football” and remember that a hilariously, weird threesome is always better than an unfunny, awkward twosome. Happy Turkels to all, enjoy some “Harry Manbackshadowing” reflections, revel in the infinite comedy genius of Bill Hicks and JOIN US as we strive for redemption with a full power threesome and dive “colon deep inside the borderline” with TOOL’s AENIMA.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182   Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.
