Nubs leads the discussion and review of Dream Theater’s 1992 album ‘Images and Words’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more! Episode 6-7.  What does that even mean...we don’t know.  No one seems to know.  But it’s actually 95.  And we are here to bring you another prog metal delight.  Is it too long?  Too short?  Too indulgent?  Not indulgent enough?  Chiefs?  Lions?  Wait what does 6-7 mean again?  Still don’t know.  And who cares.  Just join the fun...cause we got a buncha jammin’ guys here, and we hope you like jammin’ too.

Welp, lots to cover today.  Let’s start with dead people…Nubs’ summer concert schedule…and kiss cams.  From there, we will get into everyone’s love of Human Resources, bad track sequencing, What’s Happenin (the 80’s television program), whether or not The Wrestling Album was good, and whether or not The Coral Reefer Band playing Jimmy Buffet songs by themselves is a money grab or not.  But most importantly – and perhaps in the most important public safety message 2T&A has ever delivered: don’t…please don’t…do the “Concert Stand Behind” maneuver.  It could cost you your career.  Just say no.

Nubs leads the discussion and review of U2’s 1997 album ‘Pop’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more! Pop or Not Pop? The boys assess this piece which, regardless of your thoughts, bridged the industry from the 90s to the 2000s. Then we all got scared of Y2K and such. We all started thinking it would be our Last Night on Earth. Okay that one was too easy. Tune in as we dig into this mega release from this mega band, and whether or not the “reverse bookends” nature of it pleases the fellas. Let’s go.

Will it be cooked? Will it be a Gift?  Will it be a good thing?  Will we drive you crazy? Will you be satisfied?  Or will you take what you can get?  Regardless -- don’t look back, and give episode 92 a listen.  It’s ok.  It’s alright.
