Explorez tous les épisodes du podcast Your Music Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad

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.

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!

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.

Matt has an unhinged theory about the parallels and differences between SynthWave, VaporWave and Dungeon Synth

Do you think it’s accurate? Let us know or just tell us your favorite artist of these genres in the comments

We read all of them because it sends them to my phone

We discuss the remaining years of ProgPower USA (XI-XVI) as well as seeing Leprous in New York (w/Earthside, Binary Code and Dissona)

w/ Rich and Kyle

We're back with production setup 3.0 and our first metal show review of 2018 (plus bonus: we actually went to see some rasslin')

Matt tells Blake about his unexpected trip to see Sonic Symphony featuring Ty Christian of Lords of the Trident on vocals. Also why this occurred because of Threads, the Twitter of Facebook. A surprisingly positive episode. Apologies to our regular listeners, someone will definitely dislike something on the next one.

Cash Me Outside Girl Danielle Bregoli signed to Atlantic Records as Bhad Bhabie, releases single "These Heaux"

Your Music Is Bad Episode 77

We listen to Winger's new record "Seven" as well as their "classic" 90s album "Pull" which they will be performing in its entirety while headlining ProgPower USA in 2024

Matt and Blake attempt to unravel the more mature themes and lyrics on these albums as well as the extremely 80s not-so-mature ones, which are also definitely still there

Is Pain of Salvation influenced by Winger or are Winger influenced by Pain of Salvation?

R Kelly traps us in 2:24 minutes of music that never ends.

w/Jamie Ignao and Marcel Hamel

Yngwie Fires All Singers Forever (because they all quit) freeing up Jeff Scott Soto for...

Sons of Apollo with Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and Derek Sherinian

Which may leave Art of Anarchy without Ron Thal, but its ok 'cause they still have SCOTT STAPP

Matt and Jamie discuss the origins of the style and most well known Djent bands (and/or bands related in any way to Djent). Meshuggah, Periphery, Animals as Leaders, Monuments, Tesseract, etc.

Devin Townsend tells Beato, JP and Tosin that metal is about sensitivity and its a color and how his million dollar symphony about dicks is now about butterflies but probably cost so much 'cause he needs Mike Keneally to translate his insane ramblings to the orchestral musicians.

Full review of Fellowship's album Saberlight Chronicles as well as reactions to some of Fellowship's music videos.

For fans of Dragonforce and Rhapsody who want something less good than those bands, but from musicians who still believe in themselves or whatever.

We also discuss Ty Christian's cover of their song "Glint". Ty is the lead singer of Lords of the Trident who host Mad With Power Fest which Fellowship is headlining in 2024.

Incase You're Still Listening (OT) - The Rock for President

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

R.I.P. David Bowie

And a shoutout to NYC band Shinobi Ninja.

Plus Metal as a Fashion Statement (re: Loudwire) and Rich tours all the guitar stores in NYC.

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.

Is Disco Metal A Thing? | Dragonforce, Amaranthe, Nanowar of Steel and Edge of Paradise on tour

Matt and Blake classify the new Dragonforce, Amaranthe, Nanowar of Steel and Edge of Paradise tour as Disco Metal for very good and non-arbitrary reasons. It is educational for everyone.

Episode 72 - Matt and Blake suffer through 43 different covers of Toto's seminal hit Africa and try to come up with criteria such that this never happens again

Matt and Blake review Blood Incantation "Absolute Elsewhere" and Avantasia "Here Be Dragons".

We went to a "Metal on Vinyl" discussion panel sponsored by Metal Injection / Metal Sucks at the Sonos Music Store in Soho

Related opinions on vinyl and the music industry from Steve Lukather and Michael McDonald

Plus the aftermath of the Gathering of the Juggaloes

#physicalmusicdiscs

We "Witnessed" Katy Perry's new album in its entirety, even though it only has 3-4 Max Martin songs on it, and we explore her new wokeness.

Rich went to another awful New Music Concert. This leads to a discussion of what "New Music" is and why when its bad when people refuse to admit it sounds bad.

Why majoring in Music Theory is dumb. What Music Theory actually IS if you're not painfully familiar already.

Rich and Matt discuss some of their more avant garde compositions from music school. Including "I Throw Rocks at You" and "You Win (Money)"

PLUS: The SECRET TRICK to escaping a Nu Music Concert or Performance Art piece that you are not enjoying.

We just saw Exit Through The Gift Shop after years of being lied to about its premise.

Also we get to the bottom of why the iHeartRadio Awards is somehow worse than the VMAs.

Trade shows and metal shows...

ProgPower is a magical place where you can hear metal bands sing about everything from Unicorns to Alien Abduction and very little in between. Join us long-time ProgPower metal nerds as we reminisce about the glory days and the incredible impact this festival has had on the metal world and our hearts of steel.

These Are Songs About Butts.

w/Jamie Ignao, James Chen, Matt Soares, Ashleigh Walsh

Matt, Rich and Dewey discuss Metal Lords, the Netflix movie by Game of Thrones writers DB Weiss and David Benioff

Scott Storch is a producer (of beats) who was a pretty big deal in the early to mid '00s. His biggest hit was Fat Joe's "Lean Back" in '06. Then he decided to work with Brooke Hogan and Paris Hilton and do all of the cocaine. Its hard to say whether these were directly connected, but we'll speculate wildly about it for a solid hour before we simply don't want to hear the same Korg Triton presets anymore.

w/Rich, Eric and Deb

Rich and I went to see a Yacht Rock cover band. It wasn't as smooth as we'd hoped

Matt and Blake discuss the long awaited Time II by Wintersun.

They discuss the many rounds of crowdfunding, why there was a Time I in the first place and whether the album lives up to the hype.

But most importantly, could Jari have made this album without a sauna?

Matt and Jamie tackle the complicated nuances of the prestigious Video Music Awards. Just kidding, we talk about what a pointless train wreck it is and how everyone involved is awful. Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and wayyyy too much Kanye.

co-host Jamie Ignao

We apply wokeness ideas to some old (very good) songs, for mostly humor related purposes

Queensryche - "Empire"

Toto - "Goodbye Girl"

George Benson - "Turn Your Love Around"

We continue to discuss the first 10 ProgPower USA festivals with particular emphasis on Iced Earth, Sabaton, Fates Warning, and more.
