Your Music Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad This Is Music

This is about music, really. It just happens to involve a lot of talk about video games.
The Gamers are mad at Ludwig Goransson for comments made in his acceptance speech for his Academy Award for Best Original Score.
Ludwig's done a lot of great work, what have video games ever done?

Matt and Blake review and discuss Judas Priest's latest album "Invincible Shield"

And does it also sound like Painkiller?

Matt and Blake discuss Jeff's departure from Arch Enemy and discuss the history of Nevermore, and why Blake doesn't like them and also why he's wrong
We also discuss Jeff's work post-Nevermore and why him leaving Arch Enemy is good news for everybody who likes non-boring music
Rumors of Jeff & Van playing together again are discussed but will be covered in more detail in Part 2 (the next episode, whatever that is)

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

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

Your Music Is Bad Episode 78 - Settle Down, Scardust!
Matt and Blake stumbled onto Scardust on YouTube, and while they are a perfectly competent symphonic prog metal band, they are very annoying and also their music is bad.
Matt Lee and Blake Robertson stumbled onto Israeli symphonic prog metal band Scardust
While not reading too much into their song about taming the land or whatever (yikes) but focusing on their diddly-doos and idiot choir chorus, they can see how a fan of The Prog might appreciate this competent yet very annoying band.
