Speaker 7 (10:43):
It's just a sick, sick, heavy guitar riffage man.

Just fucking killer guitar shredder. The solos are amazing, Man,
I fucking love this song.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
What an opener man? And yeah, man, I gotta say,
you know before we get into this much further.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Yeah, Shadows Fall have been on a hiatus for about
the past decade because all they just they all got
other offers man to go play with much more successful bands.
So John got a gig in Anthrax and the drummer
got a gig in Overkill, and then I guess what
(11:24):
happened is this fucking fan terra shit took precedents over
Anthrax and duh, And they're kind of on hiatus. They're
supposedly recording. They've been supposedly recording a new album for
the past three years.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Right now, this Pantera thing I think has taken over and.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Shadows Fall have decided to get back together and they
got a new album coming out.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
They gotta do single out right now. So yeah, cool wag.
What do you think of Idle Hands?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, first of all, I mean, I want to preface
before I get into this.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
First of all, these people are are wonderful musicians and
they know that what they're doing. I mean, you know
what I'm saying. This isn't bank tango bang tango word.
It physically made me sick.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Okay, I'm not gonna you know, I respect these guys everything,
all right, So we're gonna go. Idle Hands unnern thautful, predictable,
sounds like so many bands of the day and the
bands that followed.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
One out of five chopstick Bubba bub band.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Out all right man.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Number two thoughts without words, Man, this is just a
song about becoming self aware and overcoming life struggles through
meditation or hobbies. It's a fucking killer song man. This
is my introduction to this band. First video I saw
it was sick as fuck.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
When I saw that guitar solo, I was like.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Oh, my god, dude, that that solo with that whammy
bar dive and then.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
There's aggressive pinch harmonics. Man, I fuck, dude.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
I was like, I was all over this band once
once I saw this man this video, and I've I've
been a fan ever since. Way, what's your thoughts on
the boughs with that word?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
You know, Like I said, not to be recundant, and
I'm not saying they.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Can't play their musicians music their musicians, I mean they
can't play then, I mean, come on, that dude is
a really he's an amazing guitar player.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
All the members are very.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
They're obviously professional, but the thing they lacked is songs.
They can't write a song. I say this song is
one out of five chapsis.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Oh man, Yeah, number three, Destroyer of Senses.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Oh man, man, this song is just awesome.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
It's about you know, falling off the wagon with drinking
primarily primarily you know, help washing away the memories.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Just more kick.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Ass thrash metal man, just just pummeling, you know.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's just it's just awesome. Man.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
It's got that killer, killer slow breakdown.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
I invoke, Oh man, dude, I love this song. Wang,
What do you think of destroyer of senses.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
First of all you're talking about you know, first of all,
anybody that drinks alcohol or smokes pot is not a
child of God, so they're really being disrespectful to God.
And uh, you know I agree with that that that
word is Jeremiah brother man. But anyways, back to the
song Luke Warm Bland Rips more Predictability one out of fantastic.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Man, I'm glad you're love of this albums so far.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Man, Man, I jacked out that when I first heard it,
I jacked off for a No, it's the record.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I believe. I believe.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I believe I saw this band at Ozcest. I didn't
do the proper research, but I think I did.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Maybe I'm wrong, but we'll see. I went to every osctch.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I went to every os fest that came to the
shirt Pine Amphitheater and Mountain View, California stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Anyway, they go.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
All right, Number four casting shade, and this is an instrumental, man,
It's just a beautiful, haunting instrumental for voting. Totally paints
a picture of sparse light casting shade off an object
or something.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Man, It's just it just.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Has an ominous sound.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yet yet a little bit of hope. I mean, I
dig it, man, I dig cast in shade. What do
you think of casting shade?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Way, I'm uh you know.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Here comes to Exho's stick mellow, predictable song. It's not shitty,
it's not shitty. Let me say this about that. It's
got a little weird Western vibe.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Hoot.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I'm gonna give it to a five chops kicks ba
ba ba babe.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, yes, it's growing on you.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I can see it's growing audire.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, but the next one is back to one chop chick.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
So hold on, oh man, man, don't don't, don't give
it away.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Man, Well, I'm five five.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Number five, stepping outside of the circle. Go ahead, way,
go ahead, stepping outside the circle.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Uh, just a nomos verres orgy.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The vocals just don't stand out so much.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
It's, uh, I don't know, man, like pedestrian and predictable and.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Just not exciting and uh, you.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Know what, Like I said, back to one out of
five chopsicks ba ba ba babe, step.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Be outside of the circle. Man, I freaking love it, man,
of course you do. Bumbling drums, killer rippings. This song
just throws down man, love the gang backing vocals, then
the clean chorus vocals, back to total brutality guttural vocals.
The transitions are flawless.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Man, that's what thinbot. I love about this band, and they.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Don't really show it on this album. As they progressed
onto other albums, the songs got even better, Wang, They
did get better, and they incorporated more of the rhythm
guitar players, clean vocals, and he has a real harmony
style voice, and oh man.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
It's they got better man after this, and I fucking
love it. Man, Yeah, yeah, So there you have it, man.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Number six the title track the Art of Balance again,
more dealings with self aware this that's kind of what
this album is, pretty much about the struggles of all that.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
But I mean, uh, it's cool. It's more chilled.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Out, moody vibe, nice harmony vocals between Matt and Brian.
Something you know that I just said would continue on
other albums. Way, what do you think of the title track?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
And you know, and like I said, I don't want
to fucking just just ship on these motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I mean I don't know any of us. Hey, bro,
if you gotta take.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
A shit and take a shit, man, be real.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Well, first of all, I am Bill Lang. I take
a stand. Okay, so when I want to do when
I want to put an olive branch out, I'm not
saying they're good. What I'm saying is I'm just trying
to be respectful to these motherfuckers because hey, they're from Boston, Okay,
the greatest city on the planet.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So that along and he.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
And Homeboy used to wear a fucking Paul Piers shirt
back in the early part of the century. So for
those two things, loan, they get a couple uh you know.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Way more than Bankangle.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Okay, this band blows Bankangle out of the fucking water.
This blows White Lion out of the water, clothes white
both watching and.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Lists all that shit. You made me sit this band.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
But that being said, this man, sorry, but hey, before
I get to uh, the art of bounce right number six, right,
that what we're doing.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the art of bounce, I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Going to get a couple of situations.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And so let's let's turn back to clock to ninth
or two two thousand and to the year of our Lord.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You know, Sanuary. Man.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Now I'm ron well because yeah, exactly, because you said
so eloquently. There's only secret family can say. Yeah, so
uh yeah, so okay. So on January nineteenth, two thousand
and two, the Year of Our Lord, the New England
Patriots upset the Saint Louis Rams and one of the
(20:06):
biggest upsets ever. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hold on
back up. January nineteen, New England Patriots beat the Oakley.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Raiders in the Buck Rule Game and all.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
You NFL fifteen hours of note I'm talking about. And
then February third, the Patriots when they're for a Super Bowl,
but uh yeah, I fucked up those duds. And then
on March sixth of two thousand and two, Ozzy Osbourne
and his Molly Krue bunch of family members debuts on
(20:40):
MTV the Osborne's March Yeah, and then.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
On Yeah Yeah Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
And then on March eleventh, two thousand and two, Year
of Our Lord, a guy named Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
None of us knew who the fuck was back then.
He sounds a thing called space x space.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
X and we all know about that, right threw from me?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
They go, let they go. And then on April.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Of two thousand and two, unfortunately, very fuck up day,
the Great Lane Staley of the Amazing Allison Chain's dies
of h Yeah, obviously.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Heroin and whatever.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
And then four days later Motorhead releases the album Hammered,
and then a couple of weeks later, the Great, the
Great Linda Loveland Place passes away. Anybody that used to
jack off the children in the eighties knows that Linda
Lovelace was like a foreign chick from like the sixties
(21:46):
and seventies.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, they go, they go, man, you get an April Yeah,
right on you.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
And then on May fourteenth of this great year, and
it was a great year.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
They're waking up every morning from May anyways.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
And chilly wacko.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
So May fourteenth, Rush daper Trail comes out.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
And then May twenty eighth, one of my favorite bands
of this century and I want to do this, ol
Van Mastaed on their debut album, Remission comes out. And
then on June eleventh, Corn Untouchables comes out, and the
same day, Unfortunate eleventh, the Great the Amazing Robin Crosby
(22:38):
from Rat dives of Aids, and then a couple weeks later,
The Who's John Aklisol dies of a cocaine Overdose and
Las Vegas, California and Ain't Closing. On November twenty sixth,
the band's System of a Down hit their album Still
this album comes out, so there goes stinking down. So
(22:58):
all right, so the situation.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
So number six, yeah, the top art of balance, Yeah,
the art of balance.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
And this is what I wrote in my little little
silly notes.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I hear load Era Metallica.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I hear load Arab Metallica, but not as good my correct.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Predictive and boring. One out of five toxic, okay.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Number number seven, Mystery of One Spirit.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Oh Man, just another killer up temper thrash song, killer
guttural vocals mixed with straightforward vocals, nice clean bridge building
up to another killer solo man by John Oh dude,
I love this song man, love it.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Love it, love it, love it, love it.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
What's your thoughts on Mystery of One Spirit?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Way, Mystery One Spirit? Interesting in the song title.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
If I'm gonna be honest, that's that's that's a dangerous
and it's not predictable. This song has some nice but
then it goes back into predictability.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And I'm gonna give it one and a half one
and a half chop six out of five.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
All right, moving on the number eight, the idiot box
Ki killer slowed chunky build up intro.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
You know about television lies and breaking free to form
your own opinion?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Killer breakdowns?
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Man, fucking I just love the slamming, the fucking chunky riffs.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Man, I love this song.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Man, what do you think of the idiot box way?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Let me let me get my expensor research notes.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh, here it is.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
I wrote just so predictable, couldn't wait for the end
of song.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
What that's my chaps? All right?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Number nine prelude, prelude to disaster. Another cool instrumental, Man,
going into the next song? Wang, what do you think
of this little uh instrumental?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Uh prelude here?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You said it was a prelude to disaster.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Yeah, I sure did.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
I I prefer prelude to madness. Sabotie. Oh, back to
the task at hand. But he's that what I said,
instrumental and uh, as I said so perfectly here, musicianship
never questions, never question, never question.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I never questioned the musicianship of the fan.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I want to make myself clear as far as that
is concerned. And I'm gonna give this without question, a
highest rated chopsticks, and I understand I don't have chopsticks.
I'm a sellout zipper head and that's cool whatever, Dude,
call me all the names you want.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I know I am, but fucking man. So anyways, I
give the ship if I.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Oh wow, man, wow, that's the high score.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yet also fucking hey. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Like I said, musicianship, I'm not gonna these guys that
have done that.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
I'm not twelve years old, So yeah, I may not
love the songs, but I respect the musicianship.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Awesome, man right on bro right on fact number ten.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
A Fire and Babylon.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I mean it's basically just another metal song about armakidding, but.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
You know it kicks ass man.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Double bass drums are crushing in this song. That cleaves
in lead with the drummond bass stops is awesome. Then
it fills to a cool riff, eventually going into the into.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
That cool solo part.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Man just oh yeah, Man, Fire and Babylon man kicks,
ass wegg. What do you think of a fire in Babylon?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I got something to say about firing the battlon.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Oh yeah, what you got? What you got.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
It?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Sounds like coheating Cambria, but just not as good.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I'll take yeah. I'll turn it a rock with double bass.
I give it one out of five Top chicks.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Alright, man, alright, let's close this album out with the
last track of Pink Floyd cover Welcome to the Machine.
I think it's a cool cover, man, I like it.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I'd take it, man. They did a piece of job
on it. Wang.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
What do you think of their cover here of Welcome
to Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Man? And you know, when, here's the deal seeing it sounding.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
When a band covers an amazing, classic, iconic song, it's
really hard for them to fuck up.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Fuck it up. And they did not did not fuck
it up. They did an admirable job. And it's.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
No, it's a it's I think it's it's a.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Am I gonna listen to it tomorrow, not.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
I'm gonna We're both gonna listen to the original over
this of course exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
So you know there's a cool uh better than ninety
percent of their originals.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Be wow, all right, awesome man. Well, well, well you
know what, man, I got something to say here man,
And closing I say, I just want to say.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Man, what I love about this band is what every.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
Member brings to the table. From Jason Bittner's incredible pummeling
yet technical precision drumming along with Paul Romano's bass backing
up the drums and forming a super solid rhythm section.
Then Matt backing solid rhythm guitar playing with those fucking
killer clean harmony vocals, which they tend to progress as
(29:23):
albums go on, you know, just backing up Brian Fair's
perfect blend of guttural vocals, mixing straight vocals to clean vocals.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
That shit's just amazing, man.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
That's what really between John's guitar playing.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
And the way that they mix.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
The vocals man and and I'm not talking about on
this album because this is like their second or third album,
but they progressed, man, with with mixing those vocal styles together,
and it's something.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That really turned my ear.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Then you top it off and sprinkles super shredded licks
and solos from John Dedonnason. To me, it's a perfect
modern mix of all the early great thrash metal bands
we grew up on during the eighty and eighties, like Metallica,
Mega Death, you know, Anthrax.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Layer Death, Angel, et cetera.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
To me anyone distant Shadows Fall is just turning their
back into death bear on those passive bands we grew
up on.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
That's that's what I think.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Man, it's Shadows Fall, man, I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I fucking love them. Bro.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Yeah, oh, right on here, there's nothing wrong with that,
right on here, right on, hold on, so stop, No,
that's all good.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Give you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's all us by by by Hell yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Man, yeah, so wag maybe got anything else?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
No, but I do have something. I do have something.
But the next all right, no, go ahead, go ahead, man, Okay.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
The next episode, people, is gonna be one that a
lot of people are gonna like. It's gonna be our

you know before we get into this much further.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Yeah, Shadows Fall have been on a hiatus for about
the past decade because all they just they all got
other offers man to go play with much more successful bands.
So John got a gig in Anthrax and the drummer
got a gig in Overkill, and then I guess what
(11:24):
happened is this fucking fan terra shit took precedents over
Anthrax and duh, And they're kind of on hiatus. They're
supposedly recording. They've been supposedly recording a new album for
the past three years.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Right now, this Pantera thing I think has taken over and.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Shadows Fall have decided to get back together and they
got a new album coming out.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
They gotta do single out right now. So yeah, cool wag.
What do you think of Idle Hands?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, first of all, I mean, I want to preface
before I get into this.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
First of all, these people are are wonderful musicians and
they know that what they're doing. I mean, you know
what I'm saying. This isn't bank tango bang tango word.
It physically made me sick.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Okay, I'm not gonna you know, I respect these guys everything,
all right, So we're gonna go. Idle Hands unnern thautful, predictable,
sounds like so many bands of the day and the
bands that followed.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
One out of five chopstick Bubba bub band.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Out all right man.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Number two thoughts without words, Man, this is just a
song about becoming self aware and overcoming life struggles through
meditation or hobbies. It's a fucking killer song man. This
is my introduction to this band. First video I saw
it was sick as fuck.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
When I saw that guitar solo, I was like.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Oh, my god, dude, that that solo with that whammy
bar dive and then.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
There's aggressive pinch harmonics. Man, I fuck, dude.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
I was like, I was all over this band once
once I saw this man this video, and I've I've
been a fan ever since. Way, what's your thoughts on
the boughs with that word?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
You know, Like I said, not to be recundant, and
I'm not saying they.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Can't play their musicians music their musicians, I mean they
can't play then, I mean, come on, that dude is
a really he's an amazing guitar player.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
All the members are very.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
They're obviously professional, but the thing they lacked is songs.
They can't write a song. I say this song is
one out of five chapsis.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Oh man, Yeah, number three, Destroyer of Senses.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Oh man, man, this song is just awesome.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
It's about you know, falling off the wagon with drinking
primarily primarily you know, help washing away the memories.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Just more kick.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Ass thrash metal man, just just pummeling, you know.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's just it's just awesome. Man.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
It's got that killer, killer slow breakdown.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
I invoke, Oh man, dude, I love this song. Wang,
What do you think of destroyer of senses.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
First of all you're talking about you know, first of all,
anybody that drinks alcohol or smokes pot is not a
child of God, so they're really being disrespectful to God.
And uh, you know I agree with that that that
word is Jeremiah brother man. But anyways, back to the
song Luke Warm Bland Rips more Predictability one out of fantastic.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Man, I'm glad you're love of this albums so far.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Man, Man, I jacked out that when I first heard it,
I jacked off for a No, it's the record.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I believe. I believe.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I believe I saw this band at Ozcest. I didn't
do the proper research, but I think I did.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Maybe I'm wrong, but we'll see. I went to every osctch.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I went to every os fest that came to the
shirt Pine Amphitheater and Mountain View, California stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Anyway, they go.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
All right, Number four casting shade, and this is an instrumental, man,
It's just a beautiful, haunting instrumental for voting. Totally paints
a picture of sparse light casting shade off an object
or something.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Man, It's just it just.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Has an ominous sound.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yet yet a little bit of hope. I mean, I
dig it, man, I dig cast in shade. What do
you think of casting shade?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Way, I'm uh you know.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Here comes to Exho's stick mellow, predictable song. It's not shitty,
it's not shitty. Let me say this about that. It's
got a little weird Western vibe.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Hoot.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I'm gonna give it to a five chops kicks ba
ba ba babe.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, yes, it's growing on you.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I can see it's growing audire.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, but the next one is back to one chop chick.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
So hold on, oh man, man, don't don't, don't give
it away.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Man, Well, I'm five five.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Number five, stepping outside of the circle. Go ahead, way,
go ahead, stepping outside the circle.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Uh, just a nomos verres orgy.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The vocals just don't stand out so much.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
It's, uh, I don't know, man, like pedestrian and predictable and.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Just not exciting and uh, you.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Know what, Like I said, back to one out of
five chopsicks ba ba ba babe, step.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Be outside of the circle. Man, I freaking love it, man,
of course you do. Bumbling drums, killer rippings. This song
just throws down man, love the gang backing vocals, then
the clean chorus vocals, back to total brutality guttural vocals.
The transitions are flawless.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Man, that's what thinbot. I love about this band, and they.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Don't really show it on this album. As they progressed
onto other albums, the songs got even better, Wang, They
did get better, and they incorporated more of the rhythm
guitar players, clean vocals, and he has a real harmony
style voice, and oh man.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
It's they got better man after this, and I fucking
love it. Man, Yeah, yeah, So there you have it, man.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Number six the title track the Art of Balance again,
more dealings with self aware this that's kind of what
this album is, pretty much about the struggles of all that.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
But I mean, uh, it's cool. It's more chilled.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Out, moody vibe, nice harmony vocals between Matt and Brian.
Something you know that I just said would continue on
other albums. Way, what do you think of the title track?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
And you know, and like I said, I don't want
to fucking just just ship on these motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I mean I don't know any of us. Hey, bro,
if you gotta take.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
A shit and take a shit, man, be real.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Well, first of all, I am Bill Lang. I take
a stand. Okay, so when I want to do when
I want to put an olive branch out, I'm not
saying they're good. What I'm saying is I'm just trying
to be respectful to these motherfuckers because hey, they're from Boston, Okay,
the greatest city on the planet.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So that along and he.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
And Homeboy used to wear a fucking Paul Piers shirt
back in the early part of the century. So for
those two things, loan, they get a couple uh you know.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Way more than Bankangle.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Okay, this band blows Bankangle out of the fucking water.
This blows White Lion out of the water, clothes white
both watching and.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Lists all that shit. You made me sit this band.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
But that being said, this man, sorry, but hey, before
I get to uh, the art of bounce right number six, right,
that what we're doing.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the art of bounce, I'm.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Going to get a couple of situations.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And so let's let's turn back to clock to ninth
or two two thousand and to the year of our Lord.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You know, Sanuary. Man.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Now I'm ron well because yeah, exactly, because you said
so eloquently. There's only secret family can say. Yeah, so
uh yeah, so okay. So on January nineteenth, two thousand
and two, the Year of Our Lord, the New England
Patriots upset the Saint Louis Rams and one of the
(20:06):
biggest upsets ever. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hold on
back up. January nineteen, New England Patriots beat the Oakley.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Raiders in the Buck Rule Game and all.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
You NFL fifteen hours of note I'm talking about. And
then February third, the Patriots when they're for a Super Bowl,
but uh yeah, I fucked up those duds. And then
on March sixth of two thousand and two, Ozzy Osbourne
and his Molly Krue bunch of family members debuts on
(20:40):
MTV the Osborne's March Yeah, and then.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
On Yeah Yeah Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
And then on March eleventh, two thousand and two, Year
of Our Lord, a guy named Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
None of us knew who the fuck was back then.
He sounds a thing called space x space.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
X and we all know about that, right threw from me?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
They go, let they go. And then on April.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Of two thousand and two, unfortunately, very fuck up day,
the Great Lane Staley of the Amazing Allison Chain's dies
of h Yeah, obviously.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Heroin and whatever.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
And then four days later Motorhead releases the album Hammered,
and then a couple of weeks later, the Great, the
Great Linda Loveland Place passes away. Anybody that used to
jack off the children in the eighties knows that Linda
Lovelace was like a foreign chick from like the sixties
(21:46):
and seventies.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, they go, they go, man, you get an April Yeah,
right on you.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
And then on May fourteenth of this great year, and
it was a great year.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
They're waking up every morning from May anyways.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
And chilly wacko.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
So May fourteenth, Rush daper Trail comes out.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
And then May twenty eighth, one of my favorite bands
of this century and I want to do this, ol
Van Mastaed on their debut album, Remission comes out. And
then on June eleventh, Corn Untouchables comes out, and the
same day, Unfortunate eleventh, the Great the Amazing Robin Crosby
(22:38):
from Rat dives of Aids, and then a couple weeks later,
The Who's John Aklisol dies of a cocaine Overdose and
Las Vegas, California and Ain't Closing. On November twenty sixth,
the band's System of a Down hit their album Still
this album comes out, so there goes stinking down. So
(22:58):
all right, so the situation.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
So number six, yeah, the top art of balance, Yeah,
the art of balance.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
And this is what I wrote in my little little
silly notes.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I hear load Era Metallica.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I hear load Arab Metallica, but not as good my correct.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Predictive and boring. One out of five toxic, okay.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Number number seven, Mystery of One Spirit.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Oh Man, just another killer up temper thrash song, killer
guttural vocals mixed with straightforward vocals, nice clean bridge building
up to another killer solo man by John Oh dude,
I love this song man, love it.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Love it, love it, love it, love it.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
What's your thoughts on Mystery of One Spirit?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Way, Mystery One Spirit? Interesting in the song title.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
If I'm gonna be honest, that's that's that's a dangerous
and it's not predictable. This song has some nice but
then it goes back into predictability.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And I'm gonna give it one and a half one
and a half chop six out of five.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
All right, moving on the number eight, the idiot box
Ki killer slowed chunky build up intro.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
You know about television lies and breaking free to form
your own opinion?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Killer breakdowns?
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Man, fucking I just love the slamming, the fucking chunky riffs.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Man, I love this song.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Man, what do you think of the idiot box way?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Let me let me get my expensor research notes.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh, here it is.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
I wrote just so predictable, couldn't wait for the end
of song.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
What that's my chaps? All right?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Number nine prelude, prelude to disaster. Another cool instrumental, Man,
going into the next song? Wang, what do you think
of this little uh instrumental?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Uh prelude here?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You said it was a prelude to disaster.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Yeah, I sure did.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
I I prefer prelude to madness. Sabotie. Oh, back to
the task at hand. But he's that what I said,
instrumental and uh, as I said so perfectly here, musicianship
never questions, never question, never question.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I never questioned the musicianship of the fan.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I want to make myself clear as far as that
is concerned. And I'm gonna give this without question, a
highest rated chopsticks, and I understand I don't have chopsticks.
I'm a sellout zipper head and that's cool whatever, Dude,
call me all the names you want.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I know I am, but fucking man. So anyways, I
give the ship if I.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Oh wow, man, wow, that's the high score.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yet also fucking hey. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Like I said, musicianship, I'm not gonna these guys that
have done that.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
I'm not twelve years old, So yeah, I may not
love the songs, but I respect the musicianship.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Awesome, man right on bro right on fact number ten.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
A Fire and Babylon.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I mean it's basically just another metal song about armakidding, but.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
You know it kicks ass man.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Double bass drums are crushing in this song. That cleaves
in lead with the drummond bass stops is awesome. Then
it fills to a cool riff, eventually going into the into.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
That cool solo part.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Man just oh yeah, Man, Fire and Babylon man kicks,
ass wegg. What do you think of a fire in Babylon?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I got something to say about firing the battlon.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Oh yeah, what you got? What you got.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
It?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Sounds like coheating Cambria, but just not as good.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I'll take yeah. I'll turn it a rock with double bass.
I give it one out of five Top chicks.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Alright, man, alright, let's close this album out with the
last track of Pink Floyd cover Welcome to the Machine.
I think it's a cool cover, man, I like it.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I'd take it, man. They did a piece of job
on it. Wang.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
What do you think of their cover here of Welcome
to Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Man? And you know, when, here's the deal seeing it sounding.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
When a band covers an amazing, classic, iconic song, it's
really hard for them to fuck up.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Fuck it up. And they did not did not fuck
it up. They did an admirable job. And it's.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
No, it's a it's I think it's it's a.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Am I gonna listen to it tomorrow, not.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
I'm gonna We're both gonna listen to the original over
this of course exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
So you know there's a cool uh better than ninety
percent of their originals.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Be wow, all right, awesome man. Well, well, well you
know what, man, I got something to say here man,
And closing I say, I just want to say.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Man, what I love about this band is what every.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
Member brings to the table. From Jason Bittner's incredible pummeling
yet technical precision drumming along with Paul Romano's bass backing
up the drums and forming a super solid rhythm section.
Then Matt backing solid rhythm guitar playing with those fucking
killer clean harmony vocals, which they tend to progress as
(29:23):
albums go on, you know, just backing up Brian Fair's
perfect blend of guttural vocals, mixing straight vocals to clean vocals.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
That shit's just amazing, man.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
That's what really between John's guitar playing.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
And the way that they mix.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
The vocals man and and I'm not talking about on
this album because this is like their second or third album,
but they progressed, man, with with mixing those vocal styles together,
and it's something.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That really turned my ear.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Then you top it off and sprinkles super shredded licks
and solos from John Dedonnason. To me, it's a perfect
modern mix of all the early great thrash metal bands
we grew up on during the eighty and eighties, like Metallica,
Mega Death, you know, Anthrax.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Layer Death, Angel, et cetera.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
To me anyone distant Shadows Fall is just turning their
back into death bear on those passive bands we grew
up on.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
That's that's what I think.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Man, it's Shadows Fall, man, I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I fucking love them. Bro.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Yeah, oh, right on here, there's nothing wrong with that,
right on here, right on, hold on, so stop, No,
that's all good.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Give you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's all us by by by Hell yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Man, yeah, so wag maybe got anything else?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
No, but I do have something. I do have something.
But the next all right, no, go ahead, go ahead, man, Okay.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
The next episode, people, is gonna be one that a
lot of people are gonna like. It's gonna be our
fiftieth episode.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Five though we turned the big five. Oh, we're officially.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Old, and we are not gonna do these ragtag fans
like this and everything. We're gonna go to our mean potatoes.
We're not gonna talk about what damn they are.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Then it is.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I mean, you know, I wonder what it's gonna be,
but it's gonna be a big one, and it's gonna
be our fiftieth episode. And I got plans, I got plans.
I'm gonna I don't wanna anyways, we'll see how it works.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
It's gonna be happening in the next few weeks, so
right on now.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
Awesome, man, I guess that about wraps it up.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Then when you say when.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yes, sir, I think it's and eat.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
