14/02/2025 Duración: 33minMatt 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?

Seven Spires: A Fortress Called Home
02/12/2024 Duración: 21minNo 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?
