Sven Knudsen he was a bright eyes guy yeah bright eyes came out of an album this year did you listen to it for me and I feel like we've talked about it before bright eyes is kind of a deep introspective depressing he's doing the biggest head nod yes that's interesting though fuck oh well good poker face it's just really really fucking all right I have never been a huge look respect where respect is deserved I've never been a massive Neil Young guy this year I got really into Neil Young maybe the last year and a half the song old man by Neil Young I feel like it's kind of a good thing when you get into somebody like Neil Young when you're older hmm cuz there are things about Neil Young type songs that you you just understand more when you're an older person we've got an old man sigh over there that I don't know oh yes come on yeah that's true you're not a massive but are you a regular size evil we're like me it's true though and he's kind of lost his mind a little bit my my theme song of the year price rises under a song and shit it like Spotify raps came out not long ago in the 0.01 percentile of listening to into the abyss what is surprising point one zero point zero one percent zero one oh okay so you were the number one probably possibly my favorites on of all time into the abyss make me want to write in the battle right when you in the battle I don't know okay that's what she said evil action is to you also break out artist only why was that funny what's this fucker with this okay yeah 70s Batman show yeah the penguin break out artists of the year shall we do it try to know what he's doing roughly little shuffle ball Rachel Rachael gives us the breakout artists um I feel like you have a couple yeah hit it chapel Rome you know mine's gonna be like pop center fuck you that's actually the right answer it is the right answer she's like she's fucking everywhere she is everywhere she's been working she's been never heard a single song slowly H O T D O G yeah you can't go hot to go hot to go dumb all the kids are singing it it's very yeah YMCA YMCA uh yeah no she's been working for a while she's been releasing for a living bits of her albums for taking what they give album for four years single four years she's been releasing singles off of the same album since April of 2020 and the album just came out this summer boy do I love that fucking hate that however once she released it she was just fucking everywhere your favorite artists favorite artists yes that's that's right that's what she was yeah okay what's your answer my answer deal the cards evil stop laughing there's gonna be people watching this you think that I'm like special needs to have shuffling right now I mean my hands are not working at all alcohol is a hell of a drug according to the mirror one particularly dramatic Facebook user recounts the show's impact on their teenage son writing I was sitting on the couch with my son who was an adolescent waiting to see the musical guest because we like the nice music the show usually books by the third or fourths junt from the guitar my son was in tears he doesn't like scary things and quite frankly I think the Kim will show and staff to make a formal apology formal apology um knocked loose with that review made metal fans harder than a piece of hickory look first of all it's very obviously a marketing thing like Kimmel has fucking metal on a lot he has good music fans on but knocked loose that is a choice man they did a good job of fucking yes they broke out this year not only was their album fucking even though I'm not even the biggest fan of it their album was fucking incredible people flipped out over it yeah that Kimmel show thing you cannot get better publicity as a metal band than that evil it's a fantastic answer I know I had three I don't like that but these are my three it's fine but it's Charlie XCX Chapel room and spring carpenter you know Sabrina carpenter would be the only one pop-wise that would probably beat out Chappelle wrong chapel what do you mean beat out as far as like who's more breakout II yes or really I do think Sabrina is like covering more ground fans and people know about her and people know her music I guess I don't know I literally do not know speaking of should we do the WTF awards yeah I just have the one the speaking of WTF what the fuck why do people like this what happened we don't get it whatever it may be my number five on the WTF's there is a thing going around this year the returning to form thing the oh they're back to rocking I do not like it I could see myself it's hypocritical but because I could see myself in certain years being very why not who cares two nines I could see you fucking dick the Jack White be oh my God they're rocking again it annoys me that we don't want these people to progress that you know what's wrong with Jerry Kentrell getting older and getting a little more twanging going off to his ranch I'm kind of into that thing yeah like what's wrong with that next year I could be totally opposite next year I could be like fuck why doesn't Jack White just come out with a fucking rocking album so it's very hypocritical I'm an asshole and an idiot evil what's your number five the AI homogenization of music production I love it okay and how because of the nature of like current AI model stuff operates it's like a copy it's gonna just be a copy of a copy of a copy yep yep I don't like where that's going and this is starting a theme for my entire top I love it so then you go with your for them is the beyond suffocation of country music I don't understand why everyone has to play in everyone else's sandboxes I like there's money over there yeah if it's true the way that you explained it was kind of a fuck you when she went to the country music awards and wasn't really accepting and this was kind of a fuck you I can do what I want sort of thing that's badass yeah yeah that I was fucking so bad yeah yeah I was gonna call timeout because I'm like I listen then I listen to the music exactly it's so bad and I'm not talking about just for just like this goes back to the AI things everything's like cross-pollinating and sounding like everything else got to have a little bit of this a little bit of this and I honestly think that it's like at some corporate level right well we have to appeal to as many audiences as we can yeah that's when art dies and that's when art dies because that's happened in the movie industry where like it happened in the movie industry and they'll pay for it in the moment but it has no lasting appeal yes agreed who didn't any up my number four should I do it maybe this should be like my number two it is going to change to Taylor Swift by 2025 but for now the most streamed artist on Spotify of all time is still Drake so for four years running we get to have on the WTF list Drake what the fuck who is streaming the music right he does not seem to have as widespread of as it appeal as her a lot of people are listening to Drake that is insane it's almost like it's on my WTF yeah yeah what's your number four um I am going to go a little bit off of evil and people playing in other people sandboxes my good friend Austin post Malone has done duets this year with Taylor Swift with Beyonce with Morgan Wallen with Blake Shelton with Luke Combs he is he's gotten that country don't think that's necessary to I mean I don't I don't however I very much understand like you want to reach other groups and you know you have Morgan Wallen and Post Malone and then Morgan Wallen is fans are listening to Post Malone stuff and Post Malone stuff is now like oh Morgan Wallen he's racist yes post Malone you don't need to say yes to everyone what is your number three my number three yeah woman that's a great question whoa man whoa man okay I don't know if you heard about this she was a thief there's a new genre called gay pop you gotta believe that is not new we we already talked about share have you heard Jojo Siwa oh yeah has created gay pop no she said she created yes she's horrible and again with it with this yeah with the stain in your lane she that's what I heard too I don't believe that Jojo Siwa should be singing music videos are of her like dancing without music she's a great dancer I think she's a talented dance that's it it's just annoying I just don't think that people should like that what's your number three my number three and get ready listeners we already kind of pissed you off we'll do it again with the same thing let's talk some 1994 definitely maybe by Oasis I just don't fucking get it if you were to come at me with one or two of their other albums maybe definitely evil what's your three Taylor Swift you know much money she's brought in and how much attention she's brought and how many fathers and daughters how many fathers and daughters are hanging out now because daughters are like what if we see Taylor Swift wait what's the first down I don't understand the game teach me daddy last one is a little weird that was weird I said it because of the implications they're kind of good bedfellows it's money on money on money it's printing galore I three these are trash trash evil what's your - he's seen the I care but he this was from a year or two Jerry Seinfeld Joe Joe see whoa anyway this comedian whose name is while the famous comedian but he did a bit where he did a compare and contrast between baby it's cold outside and wet-ass pussy and how baby is cold outside was being canceled this was like a year or two ago and he would read something hilarious right and then read lyrics from wet-ass pussy and then back and it was hilarious bed that's fantastic it's lazy and sloppy I know this is like old man yeah my lawn but it I think there are deeper psychological implications of it because of the implication my number - Courtney did it right yeah okay I mean hey we looked at it we saw it here's the thing I went through a while being like man I was such a kid so immature I just wanted to hate Courtney Love and blah blah blah blah and then we did the thing and we researched this stuff and I remembered everything I was like oh wait a minute you know what you're - um my - trace I mean good for her but but Charlie XCX and the whole brat summer like saturation of my entire Instagram feed and just everything was that really offensive green color and that fuzzy ass font if it's just a bit much I don't love the over saturation of of anyone and so Charlie XCX also people love that album I mean just fucking love it and I am I am not I was not into it and that's fine number one is Taylor Swift - aspects of Taylor Swift I will complain are you sure all the time about Taylor Swift putting every fucking album on 85 different colored vinyls I think it is bullshit yeah to make your fans buy that many albums to have this full set of things the way that she does exactly the way that she does it a lot of her audience is like teenage kids and they're spending all of their money on four albums so it looks like a clock because you got to get that one song every color only on that target release exactly there's only on that target release and I think that is I mean she is a business woman but I think it is just insanely unfair to people that just want to enjoy music and you know she's not the only one who was the other one that we talked about just that I was complaining about was it the cure yeah that had yes six five or six different versions of the same album yep a lot of the big one Pearl Jam did every single Pearl Jam and Rolling Stone did every single major league baseball team right that is too much super gross it's a super gross and I don't even like it my number one and it's really similar maybe same Z's to somebody's number two it's the fucking brat album maybe same Z's album of the year everywhere I'm gonna say I went to the record exchange my favorite vinyl store of all time and you know we love her we know her Charlie XX Halloween Rachel yeah so she knows she does a record exchange work she had her like favorites recommends I don't I just don't fucking get it that's my number one so many album of the years so many what the I don't what the fuck evil what's your number one there's a brat no it and this this is the one that kicked off all the four it's the tick-tockification of everything right and the compressing of attention span grasping at attention and the dopamine hits that follow don't believe I love it it's so good I don't like what it's doing to our brains our kids can even sit through a movie yeah old man yells at cloud yeah I like old man yells at long are we good do we I don't know we can stop like certain art forms will just go away because there's not gonna be an audience I would agree you know in 1994 I couldn't wait until I had basically what we have today music at my fingertips you know where I could queue up whatever songs I wanted the list to whatever order I had a booklet full of CDs right take it out of the booklet put it in player you know play track by track and check that when I want to listen to a song on a different CD and put it in but I pine for the days where I would get an album and have all this artwork and liner notes and it was scarce like I would wait and go dig through rows and rows of CDs and musical and or whatever the store was at the time that I go to to find something that I would then like bend time with before I even listen to the music going back and listening to to that music from 94 makes me realize how much or how important it is to live in the moment with music and spend the time to not just subconsciously rip open an album and throw it on the on the turntable but to actually experience this music for the first time which I'm gonna do with this album and I'm excited about that I highly highly highly recommend for anybody who didn't go through that period of vinyl or tapes or or CDs to spend time with the physical media because there's more to the music than just playlist and streaming and Spotify likes listens and use there's there's an artist behind every single ounce of music out there and it's important to understand everything that they're putting behind what they're creating don't just listen to music experience it I'm glad I'm doing that again everybody because we've got to go over our top five favorite songs of 2024 baby we're there we're getting there isn't it lovely isn't it beautiful oh my love my bad should I start should I start on my number five does anybody have any look one two three four five I I have I do have an honorable mention anybody have an honorable mention five six oops that was an accident but yes that's all right apparently it's all right how about we honorable mention all of Sven songs he came out with one a month so many this entire fucking year how bad ass is that go to spend go listen to a man go to spend go listen to wave he had that idea he did the art first you don't even know anything about that Rach what's your honorable mention my honorable mention is Billy Eilish is lunch is that the one where she talks about wanting a girl but it is just double entendres to the max it is not actually about lunch what is it you like it's just peppy it's funny it's just a banger yeah it's on my fucking guard stupid assholes I did not see it did you have them down yeah face up it's how serious we are John Tillman and the accidental dose by father John Misty that is now came out late I talked about it that song is fucking badass 70s soul at its best it's incredible that album was a little too late and even then there was something about it that kept me from being real super obsessed with it but man that song's fucking awesome that's my honorable idea do you want to do the first honorable mention is sung by a little band and it's all like and it's an honorable yeah it is called chapter for not being hung upside-down on a stake in the underworld and made it pieces by the for a snatch no match yeah it makes sense because of how good it is actually a good song if you like weird extreme that metal it's actually really good I'm listening sorry yeah do it motherfucker Wow Gary Clark junior in the one and only motherfuckin Stevie Wonder that guy sucks what about the children what about them for buddy is that your favorite song of that album no it's like the Simpsons oh Flanders wife think of the children what about it what did she always say I don't know it's terrible content mine number five from the album and we already talked about this from the album as above so below it is the song plastic boxes well evil deals I will talk about how amazing Rachel for it is a huge fan of the visual of the put yourself in the in the picture mm-hmm I am sure he's just talking about a breakup but it sounds way more serious than that the line I picked up all your hair clips and packed them away there's something so fucking viscerally you know like the either the breakup or the whatever it is a fucking like mom that passed away or whatever probably a breakup mm-hmm but that visual you know that point in the time where you finally get around god damn that's such a good image to start a verse to start a chorus with mm-hmm it's such a good chorus thing it's taste by Sabrina Carpenter um have you not for this intro have you read this song so it's about her give me a card please it's very cleverly written with the lyrics and you know what he fuckers that's it it's taste it's really funny I think it's a funny song I love it what you know what I don't know why even play this game with you guys what's your fourth favorite my fourth favorite it's Kendrick it's like us can we talking it's just I just a movie flax you know I just feel like I just feel like you're Kendrick is not the person to pick on yeah Drake fucked up there pretty bad I had a really good hand yeah can I just get some of your chips guys come on what but like more chips I'm proud of you yeah you just eviscerated Drake Drake for like for like a year it wasn't even a competition like every yeah it was really bad yeah my number four and one of you's gonna love it one is gonna hate it but hey it is what it is pink skies by Zach Brian once again old man side once again the visuals the lyrics of his family cleaning out his grandma's house or whatever after she passed away you know the place where they all the head measurements and stuff like that it's a fucking incredibly good song evil what's yours I just realized something that I think I may have had one of the songs in my life I love it yeah I may have had one of these songs on my list last year and I'm gonna go with a lesser known artist album that came out later in the year I am dog now that I am now not dog yet it's a Saratoga by Eddie nine volts oh okay okay because of you I know now it's badass very very badass very badass I'm very into it I think listeners look like Eddie nine volt they're not oh totally yeah absolutely any 9v it's beauty it's beauty blues yeah it's amaze balls what's your 3 what's your 3 bag well now you are dog I am dog now I am dog now chap piles fuck that album rocks that song was amazing you big chap pile diner him a chap what was it cuz you weren't huge on the last album what was it it all clicked it I think the vocal deliveries just a little more visceral it's less talking heads a little more helmets yeah helmet is a very good comp yeah my three oh red do you handle it oh y'all do a red let's check I've got two jacks you son of a bitch this was one of our first quickfires of the year and it was a bad one but this album I liked I loved actually this album and I think at least for you it held interest because you have good taste the band is elbow and the song is balloon yes it is very very funky the percussion is amazing the fucking the riff in it is fucking bad the rep the riff is spectacular that is why number three my number three is Teddy swims it is lose control here it is it is just amazingly powerful like it's like his devastation he's just screaming at the listener but it is just goosebumps everywhere I love it so much I want to tell you about the next one you should read up on your number two okay um this is another Noah Cyrus and or real puck how far it is they're they're just daring each other the entire entire song with the lyrics again what I mentioned in the quickfire when we did this one they are so much exactly themselves but they blend so well together yeah that it is just amazing and I just fucking I love Noah Cyrus's voice it is she's amazing he's amazing and together it is just magical okay I'm okay with that you know it's great my number two bag it's an oracle peck song go on but it's no stubble chicken one cool 45 it's a real song it's back Death Valley highs a fucking badass it is back it is 50 50 back in pet we need a back and pack album it is so fucking amazing let's start the petition we were starting a petition for peck and peck and that's my number two evil what's your two bag oh that doesn't work at all you have alcohol in your system you are your system I should say that I struggled putting this song on here but I didn't but you didn't because one bad actor should not take away bad pancake should not take away from the work of the rest of the band and to have left the band okay I see where this is going it is burden by SLA dying at least there's not a video what a fucking mess it's your bet here's the thing to former members of unearth Ryan Neff's vocals that that's the reason I put it in is his vocals dominate the song and then fills guitars if I'm listening good board mind your words not drunk not three blues I will probably fold it's such a good song and I'm really really really disappointed in that one member of the band no forever no I'm not rich ruined it for everyone else played singers will do that she's just kind of what they do steroids a bad mood steroids are a hell of a drug they really are evil what's your number one what's your favorite song of the year it's not panic attack panic attack it's pretty rare when listening to a song and not even paying attention to the lyrics which I'd never do anyways makes me emotional oh like I have feelings when I listen to Johnny goose guys Jupiter's fairies oh I think that is one of the better written songs Johnny blue skies Jupiter's fairy and then you'll actually read the lyrics you like oh this is actually a very emotional song you read the lyrics good good for you silly silly that you did that Jupiter's fairy is a really good fucking song of the year it is it is my song of the year it is never taking me so long to realize that a song is in four four you listen that song you tell me it's easy and stuff but when you listen to it from the go and you're like oh wait this is for for it is meticulous there are just hundreds of layers to it it is killinova by zealon ardor that song is fucking insane that's my favorite song of the year it's fucking rad listen to it and just like yeah that's my song of the year yeah it's in four four it's fucking crazy Rachel David okay good we'll calm the fuck down you know like it's not a little bit of your energy I'm really interested in what your favorite song of the year let me just tell you about it my number one song for this here is it 28 by evil's favorite Zach Brian it is a beautiful song about how shitty life is and it just makes you feel all the feelings because you know when you're 28 live is basically over Zach Brian has a really beautiful way with words he is a very good lyricist he's a good writer and poet he writes and he writes so good that is my number one it is fucking fantastic 28 by black Brian Zach Brian Zachie Brian we got the last things to do and we're gonna do the last things we're gonna take a break with your back we are back 1994 coverage we did it we're proud I just really like look at the one person that we didn't get to talk that much about 94 she was too busy with other things I was not busy I want to hang out Rachel I want your thoughts on the top 10 the final top 10 of 1994 do you have thoughts on each individual one I just read you the 10 I have I have thoughts on every single one ten is Jeff Buckley grace it is a keenly beautiful do you like that it's ten or you matter this ten it's on the list I don't I feel like a lot of these are endless kind of interchangeable with each other it's a great list number nine what summer night Tory under the pink I love Tory Tory is a piano plain witch who knows all of our secrets it's very well put however it's like I do prefer little earthquakes do you want to have a talk about that preferring little earthquakes and I think yeah like which one do I prefer more yeah what do you got to yeah please you know which one I prefer more boys for Paylay that's fair it's not even in the conversation those three are her best albums to me oh hundred percent but boys for Paylay is your best one so number eight actually was Pearl Jam is a vitality not my favorite Pearl Jam what is your favorite ten which jam is your favorite seven Green Day Doogie that is just of course yeah you have that time you know that is that is a classic from when we were kids there's there's that's a soundtrack to our our childhood so of course that should be on that oh yeah one of those six STT STP purple we've got we've gone yeah we I mean we talked about purple purple is sleeping on a southern train a perfect album yeah it's just great agreed nine inch nails so nine inch nails was a band for me when I was a kid that I was like this is terrifying I can't listen to it it sounds like Satan now I've I've very much appreciate Trent Reznor and his ability to music adicousness I know is this number four I don't know that I really understand that one oh he is he has the ability to paint pictures with words very well he's a great lyricist and he's I think that it may be on there because at the time rap wise definitely the best rap lyricist of the year of the time in my opinion yeah two poor's head dummy haunting it's beautiful that's that's a good one and then your tie first weezer sound garden I think that makes perfect sense what do I not agree where's the fire like what do I think should not be on this list or what do I probably Pearl Jam and it and it Pearl Jam Pearl Jam I feel like it's it's maybe just cuz I like the other album better and we've are we just like I maybe feel like there's some other stuff that could have been on there instead of you guys I think you guys did a good job even though I wasn't involved what's your favorite 94 album I mean it's unfair unplugged oh Nirvana yeah wait I mean we talked about this earlier today I feel like it's unfair because it's a compilation of albums from all over the place to cheatsy kids and it's a live one so it is but it's as far as 94 goes it is the best album that came out that your hands down yeah let's pull 94 as a year this is a big year this was a self-indulgent year it was memberberries they're dangerous thing they're what is like fucked the music industry plus five or ten years right but it's also fun man remember Soundgarden remember Weezer you guys liked going on that trip with us right this was a good year and yeah 94 might have been a little self-indulgent but man this is fucking fun I know you guys had fun with us and those of you that aren't even in the same age generation the generation you stuck with us we love you for that STP weezer porta's head come on it was fun it was grandiose it was and now we're here let's go back to these fucking super strongies two more things to do top 10 best not favorite albums of 2024 and boy howdy didn't go through them all but first top 10 best albums of all time in 2024 I bet you are at number 10 it is evil and I say actually this was originally one of my faves it downgraded for me as the year went it is the great American bar scene by Zach Brian that ended in number 10 it's his fault we all apparently Rachel's mad we're okay with it number nine it's on the list that's good it's on the list that's good number nine everybody it is hit me hard and soft by Billy Eilish very very pretty voice not as good as her first album you guys like it more than me number eight it is we know we fucking love him but this was lacking a little bit just because he was doing it with other people and it is stampede by Orville Peck yeah we love we fucking love orville Peck Orville Peck's fantastic but I can back some petition oh my god sign the fucking petition my god sign it number seven man people were clamoring for this to be like album of the year fucking amazing even I loved it Rachel hated it it is songs of the lost world by the cure little surprise this didn't end up a little bit farther up just because of things but it didn't and that's okay number six kind of out of nowhere it's metal but it's also fucking new age punky metal and it's fast and it's fun and it's highly irresponsible by better lovers but it's an awesome album if it ran into the hardness you would want to love it let's go to number five everybody Rachel evil why don't you guys talk about your love and how it made number five which is a I admit two is a fantastic album it is B four seven one by King gizzard and the lizard wizard crack the top five it's silly it right it's silly that I love that album though okay same because it's so good yeah it's so good it is I get it that they're a gadget band and they fucking cares they've heard this album yes yeah right I will not calm down no it was fantastic why do you keep it why am I shuffling I don't know so I'm asking you every day every day right every day I'm shuffling let's go to number four it is a we know or we love her it is portus head zone Beth Gibbons and it is lives outgrown she came out with her own album this year it was a fuck it I am still awesome yeah evil you were super into it you were blessed into it miss Shawn but that's our four and we're good with it number three right came out of q4 it is to me maybe I just haven't had enough time with Kendrick Lamar album but it is to me the best hip-hop album of 2024 it's chroma copie up by Tyler the creator that album's badass huh it is dope and I do wonder you know we have the conversation of when we do the cut off for music yeah because Tyler's or Kendrick's came out so late in the month that we really I got two listens through it maybe mm-hmm and one with lyrics and mm-hmm I didn't have a chance to fall in love with it we are now to our number two so extremely surprising to me but extremely happy that she's here it is all born screaming by Saint Vincent it's true I fucking love Saint Vincent I thought this was a great album I wrote it off a little bit towards the beginning of the year but the more I listened to it the more I was into it you I think Saint Vincent is insanely talented this is another album that maybe if I spent more time with it I think I would like it better I probably didn't give it enough of a fair chance next work how dare you I'm not surprised she made the list and now number one number one James because two of us had it at number one best album of the year it is J pegra by Gary Clark he deserves it yeah absolutely I'm gonna do it's the best album blame it on the count grow up should we talk about our top five probably favorites guys everybody have five nobody have any honorable mentions or anything I cut it down to five five favorite albums of 2024 we're gonna start with the evil you know it's a little album called an absolute what a plantation is that a jazz band I think I talked about this I did talk about this the dose evil of evil it it's like making not just metal album of the year list but album is that a blood incantation yeah a lot of lists that I get it they're flipping out about it it's challenging but it's an amazing album I did have an honorable mention we talked about this album I don't remember if it was the what did we miss or the quick fire we talked about it and you had such a similar outlook on it is me when I first heard this album I thought no question album of the year holy fucking shit and then it lost me and gained me and lost me my honorable mention is grafe by zeal and art or what I will say about this album is wow I get it now I get the zeal and art or it's not one of my five of the year kill nova is my favorite song of the year so it's I get it my number five album of the year and I want everybody to know that I did a a list an equation the first thing it is I listen to the albums all the way through I need three cards and did a little bit of a rating and then I also listen the albums and did every single song one through four stars one is a shitty song two is a you can ignore it song three is a great song four is an out is a song of the year song and I came up with these equations and they all fit magically it's brilliant I just want you all to know how much I go through trying to see the albums of the year my number five is mannequin pussies I got heaven that album fucking rocks it's punk and it's not amazing perfect chick rock and I fucking love it and it's rad and that's my number five you go slavia my number five you guys hate so I'll just go real fast a short and sweet it is just a really fun album number four I went with she's already done it's short and sweet by Sabrina Carpenter yeah so fast number four is chroma copia wow okay just a banger of an album I know how to create art and and that's what it is it is just pure fucking art every time it's great it's fantastic my number four surprising but man did it grow on me and it kept growing on me I didn't think it was gonna be on my top five until a week or two ago no surprise to send it is tanked by idols the album is so different from anything that they've done the past three years and production wise of course you have the radio head and all that stuff I fucking love it I think it's brilliant and that's it that's the it's tank evil what is your number four before we call him in late in the year I was looking forward to it so I listened to blood and content a lot of stuff on the way to the gary cart made Missoula okay and this guy popped up and Megan and I were both like who is this why is he so good wins and oh my god yeah did I win so sorry well why is this any nine-volt character so good and oh my god he has a new album coming out which came out and we love it so he like opened for Gary Clark you did not it was just in like this happened story we were trying to figure out who was opening for Gary Clark because it wasn't on the Kettlehouse play though okay a couple of shows earlier it was one other guy and then Eddie nine volt and then we looked him up and sort of listening to his music like holy buckets who's in three it is bow and their album umbilical I bet that's metal it is very metal but you have anything it's super metal super metal the cop made early on in the year I didn't know anything about him but album's fantastic love it it's very gonna sludge ease you're sludge metal I like it what's your what's your deal dear my number three I didn't think this was gonna happen but I was lucky enough to meet him went well because they're amazing this band is fucking phenomenal the writing is impeccable but the biggest thing to me about this album is how flawless the production is how every single guitar note piano vocal run so perfectly amazingly beautifully produced and it is arms by sand for me that album it I didn't think it was gonna happen we covered them in tree we covered them in tree for it it was great I saw on a promotion or something that they can't they re-came out with their vinyl this was like three months later it's like I'll buy it yeah for sure and I got the vinyl and I turned it on and I was just fucking blown away absolutely blown away that album is fucking incredible arms by sand for mean I am such a massive fan from this point forward that is my number three what about you girl my number three is a flight B741 by King gizzard wizards wizards I know that they just like do you throw darts at a genre dart board yeah but this is like all in the same category roll your eyes as Greta it is my dad's music for me like in this generation so mad and so it just makes me happy to have some like 70s rock now in 2024 that's just for me that's pretty high up that is really high up do you want to know what my next one up is we think it is Sabrina Carpenter taste and sweet and low fuck off it was already on the list it's actually society no that's number one it is the great American bar scene I'm a good friend Zach Ryan okay it's a good album it's a great album he's a great writer I can't say it enough can't quit it I can't quit you can't quit you can't quit Zach Brian no matter how we win he he doesn't done anything to women right yes I can quit him that's evil do you have a question sir oh what's your tweezers my tweezers is where uh the jaws drop I don't think anybody sees this coming it is smashing pumpkins it is smashing pumpkins oodra bead red road whatever no it isn't but I kind of went a little bit femme bought this year this album I could not quit this I fucking love this album every song I just wanted to listen to all the time it's crazy we just did it on a quickfire what did we miss and everybody was kind of like ah it's got something I don't know I was holding my cards a little close to the chest I love every single song it is prelude to ecstasy by the last dinner party that has been on a lot of lists yeah holy fuck that album is unreal it was like a millimeter away from me my favorite album I love it so much those chicks fucking made such a good album that is my two bag evil what is yours and are how shamed are you of my not a shame you have the right to like what you like yeah I know I dropped my chin you know having looked the name of this band mannequin pussy daily for how long it's I just feels right it is jap-pile oh what is it jap-pile yeah our group text oh yeah it sure is it is a pile of jazz a giant stinking festering pile of jazz it is a cool world a jap-pile my number two yeah you loved that yeah it just hit me and I have gone back and listen to their previous stuff and it is resonating more with me now they're doing it man they were going for nightmare metal and they hit it they hit it perfectly hard can we guess can we guess what is number one is I feel like I don't know I kind of feel like I would have said chat pile I will - I have a guess what's your guess I have no guess nails who nails is gonna be an honorable okay okay let's find out in season two to five to five 20 years yeah what's your number one bro well I tried really hard not to overlap our best coffee oh it's japig raw it's japig raw it is that makes me happy that that album is probably played in our house most of it in the other album yeah and we drove to see I had a really hard time leaving japig raw off my top five half a year into the year it was like not a question on my it was my number one something about it started fading and it's not even in my top five anymore I yeah I'm embarrassed and you should be proud I think like seeing him why I'm sure there's just that album and it's might be a good thing that album is not like he's a fucking guitar god and it's not a guitar god album no no yeah which is badass but I don't know any guesses on my fave has it's brain a carpenter I leave quite an impression I'm short and I like things and then I do I'm close right we haven't even talked about it this year really then I know oh oh oh oh from December yeah listen fucker the album came out with a beautiful vinyl there are two versions there of course there are yes no you don't know hang on hang on fucking hang on there are two mixes okay he mixed it two different ways and came out with two different vinyls for the two different mixes he had a piece of art published to go with every single song in the booklet so when you're listening to the song you have the art to look at and honestly every song is just so well thought out he put years into it which is very obvious it's your favorite and it's mine it is I.O. by Peter Gabriel the album is fucking it's perfect it's so fun and that's my favorite and much like Adam everybody clicks off the shit and it's mad at my album here it's my name Rach what's your album the year please why is it Taylor Swift my album of the year is stampede awful Peck seriously I thought that was that album to me was practically perfect it was so fucking good in every way much like Peter Peter Mary Poppins yes I hate it when people just bring all their friends on an album very often I just feel like it is a cheap way out that man did such a good job of picking people and blending genres so so so beautifully okay yeah that was just a great album Wow I think almost every song was just do you feel weird that Taylor Swift came out with an album in a year that it wasn't year out of the year I mean I feel like I could have known by the opinion that I gave when we reviewed it that's season 4 of 2024 that was a great transition we're done we're drunk it's been a while some surprises some not surprises we saw it come we didn't see it coming we love you guys season 5 it's coming up it's gonna be a little different and a little better right and your cross spend a
