#308 GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY ONE SONG
Episode 309
Thursday, 10 July, 2025
“If you’ve got a whole room full of 10’s, that’s the 5…” We’ve all been there. Every one of us have experienced an album where it was “almost perfect” front to back, yet there was that one song that blemished its perfection and brought it down a notch. Granted, some songs may not fit relative to the context of an album and should have never been included to begin with, while others may have been played into the ground a quadrillion times to the point that even though it has become tiresome to listen to, “it’s not like it doesn’t belong” on the album. Basically, the most pressing points to ponder when evaluating whether a song is “skippable” or simply should not exist are: “If you take this song off the album, does it make it a better album?” “If it’s 1980 and you’re wearing your jorts and your tank top and you’re at a Boone’s farm bonfire…is it a bad song?” “Is this the song that made this album worse…?” Discover the most “prostate meltingly hot” thing a woman can wear, hear Beaker’s favorite song to do at karaoke after a long day on set at The Muppet Show, and prepare to get “T.B.R” when you JOIN US for the “hysteria” surrounding THE SONG THAT SHOULD NOT BE as things get heated and hostile regarding GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY ONE SONG.
