From the Patriot Mobile Studios powered by eSpaces, the Try That In A Small Town Podcast crew sits down for a raw, unfiltered hang. Tully, Kurt, Thrash, Kaylo and Neil talk about everything from health scares and terrible sleep to the emotional toll of chasing hits in a “failure business” and wondering if this podcast is actually any good.They celebrate Jason Aldean's multi‑week No. 1 with “Try That In A Small Town,” shout out Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, and then pull back the curtain on how little songwriters and session players really make in the streaming era. They debate AI‑written songs, the madness of modern politics, bathroom etiquette, and why a fast‑food combo in a tiny Tennessee town now costs 14 dollars.If you've ever chased a creative dream, wondered why some shows blow up and others stall in “podcast purgatory,” or just love small‑town stories with a heavy dose of honesty and sarcasm, this one's for you. And yes… they really want to know: are they good, or do they suck?

This week we are checking a big one off of our list. Justin was given the year 1991, and selected The Pillars of Humanity. This was the final album for Fresno, CA based crossover thrash band, The Crucified. This record is often sited as one of the most important Christian hardcore / metal bands of all time, but how does it stand up to our taste today. This week Dylan is going back to the Baltimore hardcore well for the year 2007. We are talking about the debut full length, Prepare to Be Let Down by Ruiner.

Spoilers and sharks ahead, homies! Movie breakdown starts at 16:31! It's our shark week episode and we have been waiting to get back in the waters. This time we let Netflix (and discord) steer the boat, and they took us directly into Thrash. Did this movie hold up to the fins that came before it? Also, Erika and Roshane talk the pros and cons of shark movies.
We're talking 'bout good vibrations... Check out our website for info on upcoming episodes, our email list, our email address, and coming soon a blog and possibly TikTok. Maybe. We'll see. Please leave us a review on the podcast platform of your choice! Reviews help us get noticed!
Kicking off our I Love the 90s series, we rewind to 1990, when kids played GameBoy while parents watched Twin Peaks. Don and Dude drop the needle on one groundbreaking electronic album and one guitar driven rock release that set the tone for the decade to come, connecting both records to a world of slap bracelets, Pretty Woman at the box office and cassette mixtapes traded on school buses.The AlbumsEnigma – MCMXC a.D. (1990)Romanian German producer Michael Cretu built this project in Ibiza as an anonymous, continuous listening experience, weaving Gregorian chant samples, hip hop drum programming, whispered French vocals and ambient synth textures into one sensual, spiritual song cycle with Sandra Cretu and Frank Peterson. Anchored by the global hit "Sadeness," the album moved from a spoken, meditative opening through guilt, confession and a soulful, Ganges inspired close, proving electronic music could work as a full album statement rather than a string of club singles.Extreme – Extreme II: Pornograffitti (1990)Boston band Extreme, led by guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and singer Gary Cherone, opened their second album with the nearly seven minute funk metal statement "Decadence Dance" before moving through horn driven grooves like "Get the Funk Out" and socially pointed rockers into two stripped down acoustic songs, "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted," that became the record's biggest hits. Produced by Michael Wagener, Pornograffitti (subtitled A Funked Up Fairy Tale) fused glam era hooks with funk, blues and progressive touches, turning themes of excess, money and empty relationships into a genre jumping 1990 snapshot of rock just before the grunge shift.Diggin AlbumsAnthrax – Cursum Perficio (2026):Thrash pioneers Anthrax return with their first album since 2016's For All Kings, pairing classic crushing riffs and sharp rhythms with career spanning, socially aware songwriting.Alice in Chains – Facelift (1990):Alice in Chains' debut introduced the Seattle band's heavier, more metallic strain of grunge through Jerry Cantrell's crushing riffs and his eerie vocal interplay with Layne Staley.Jacqui Hunt – Desiderium (2026):Single Gun Theory and Delerium veteran Jacqui Hunt blends electronic textures, piano and voice with husband Brian Conolly into a reflective meditation on grief and distance.The New Pornographers – The Former Site Of (2026):The Canadian indie rock collective's tenth album, led by A.C. Newman alongside Neko Case and Kathryn Calder, tells short story style songs about people pushed to emotional and societal extremes.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you?" - Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), Goodfellas (1990)

This week, Jackie and Eryka wade into THRASH—the 2026 shark horror movie that asked a very important question:"What if a Category 5 hurricane wasn't enough of a problem?"A coastal town is getting ripped apart by a monster storm.The streets are flooded.The power is out.Everyone is trapped.And then the sharks show up.Because apparently Mother Nature woke up and chose violence.Featuring floodwaters, flying debris, questionable survival plans, and sharks that seem personally offended by the existence of human beings, THRASH delivers exactly what every shark movie fan wants: people making terrible decisions while large aquatic predators enthusiastically exploit them.Join Jackie and Eryka as they discuss hurricane-fueled chaos, shark-infested streets, over-the-top mayhem, and whether this creature feature swims with the big fish—or ends up as chum.

Summary: “Have you ever been to a buffet where you literally try everything?” Sometimes the best way to find your new favorite things is to just sample a lot of different things until you find the things that you enjoy the most. As with a buffet…or even dating, you just “grab something” you think you might like and “give it a taste”. If you like it, you keep going back for more. And if it's not your thing, you simply continue the process of sampling and tasting other things until you find something you truly enjoy. Founded by Markus Staiger in Donzdorf, Germany way back in 1987, NUCLEAR BLAST has signed a myriad of metal artists over the years from across the spectrum of sub genres, ranging from hardcore and symphonic metal to industrial metal, thrash metal, and beyond, including some top tier legacy thrash bands from the 1980's that enjoyed a resurgence in popularity during the 2000's (fun fact: Slayer's final studio album, Repentless, is the highest charting NUCLEAR BLAST release in the United States, making it to Number 4 on the Billboard 200.) In the context of this particular episode, we are referring to our recent sampling of the artist roster from NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS, and much like with dating and buffets, there were some bands we enjoyed more than others, some that were right up our alley and REALLY hit the spot, and some that just weren't our cup of tea (so to speak), but rest assured that everything we sampled was most definitely interesting and we learned a few things along the way. Prepare for the most philosophical voicemail about metal music that we've ever received, realize that when it comes to power outages and paranormal activity that “I just wanna make sure that they know that I know that they know” and remember that “sometimes, wet's not bad” when you JOIN US on our sampling expedition of the NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS artist roster.

“No sink or nothing, right? You're just gonna go free ball it…” 1989 was the very first year EVER that The Recording Academy recognized hard rock and metal music with the “Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental”. And other than the completely insulting “slap in the face” by The Recording Academy to Metallica (think Will Smith & Chris Rock, but even more childish, petty, and completely unnecessary), there were no other Big Four albums or happenings in 1989. (SIDEBAR: Y'know, maybe it's just speculation, conspiracy theory, or just good old-fashioned karma in action, but the way Metallica “lost” that Grammy, it's like they were literally “deleted from the mix” of nominees, so to speak. Not unlike a certain bass player from a certain mix on a certain album. Moving on…) “Just gonna raw dog it…” As we are all aware, metal (especially thrash) is far more than just The Big Four, and 1989 was actually quite an excellent year for metal. As thrash was nearing the zenith of its popularity, Wrathchild America's debut album, Climbin' The Walls, hit the record store shelves, Exodus, Testament, and Sepultura each released legendary 3rd albums, and Nuclear Assault released the first, the best, and arguably one of the most revolutionary lyric videos in the history of music for Critical Mass, featuring a one-eyed smiley face saying, “Follow me!” and a “Required Nasty Bit”, courtesy of Jessica Hahn. “What is YOUR favorite album of 1989?” Prepare yourself for a bit of obscure Metal Nerdery 1989-centric trivia, embrace what it means to receive your “first JOB”, and find out what you should definitely NOT do in your landlord's pool when you JOIN US as we fire up the time machine and go check out THE CLASS OF 1989.

We start off talking about our dysfunctional government. Nhat has multiple issues with his vinyl purchases. We play Lyrical Genius to see how many songs Tony can recognize. Nhat gets a copy of a stereo that was stolen from him years ago. We rant about inflation. Nhat can’t finish any […]
¡Despierten de una vez, Berserkers! y escuchen bien, porque en este episodio de La Galería Nocturna sus hosts, JC y Perry, venimos a tirar verdades, escupir fuego y hacer corajes. Hoy desmenuzamos la frustrante, agridulce y encabronante visita de Havok a la Ciudad de México, que se llevó a cabo el pasado 2 de julio. Por un lado, tenemos que reconocer que David Sánchez y compañía nos volaron la cabeza sonando impecables, como si estuvieras escuchando el disco, soltando trancazos a una velocidad y contundencia técnica que armaron un circle pit masivo que abarcó casi todo el recinto. Pero por otro lado, estamos hartos de que nos quieran ver la cara y señalamos directamente la nefasta organización del promotor en el Fvckoff Room. Aunque reconocemos que el lugar está en una zona segura y la barra es funcional, es un espacio de techo bajo al que le urge ventilación porque el calor se encierra de manera brutal. Definitivamente no era el recinto adecuado en tamaño para una banda del calibre de Havok, quienes merecían un foro más digno como el lobby del Circo Volador. Soportamos una injustificada hora de fila para entrar a un foro de 350 personas, lidiando con personal de seguridad en la puerta que tuvo una actitud completamente grosera, vulgar y maleducada. Además, presenciamos cómo la banda abridora, Hirkum, tuvo que dar su show con un audio paupérrimo que simplemente les destrozó la presentación al no entenderse absolutamente nada de la voz ni de los instrumentos. Lo más indignante de la noche fue comernos toda esa basura logística y el desgaste físico para recibir un setlist de apenas 60 malditos minutos por parte de una banda que venía como headliner; una tomada de pelo total que nos dejó claro que, a partir de ahora, a Havok solo los veremos en formatos de festival. Para pasarnos el mal trago, también nos echamos un clavado histórico en las casi 29 fechas que Havok ha acumulado a lo largo de todo el país desde su primera visita en 2014. Además, desviamos un poco el caos del metal hacia el desmadre mundialista que tiene a la ciudad de cabeza, donde el fanatismo del fútbol ha llegado a extremos de destrucción, violencia y caos absoluto en las calles. Y para que vayan preparando la cartera y no los agarren en curva, les desmenuzamos la atascadísima agenda metalera que nos espera para el resto del año, con giras pesadas de gigantes como Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Pestilence, y festivales como el Mexa Fest o el Aftershock. Todo esto lo platicamos mientras seguimos haciendo ruido y sumando fuerzas para impulsar la escena underground a través del colectivo de medios Mexapidia. ¡Denle play ya, sírvanse una cerveza bien fría y únanse al debate con nosotros!

On daytime MTV, Bon Jovi was becoming the biggest pop-rock act on the planet. Poison was setting the blueprint for everything pop culture now calls hair metal. At the same time, Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth: were building massive and devoted audiences. These two worlds shared MTV, shared tour bills, and shared fans who were being asked to pick a side. That tension is what makes 1986 unlike any other year in metal history.The Glam Explosion That Broke Daytime MTVHere's what happened between 1984 and 1986: metal expanded beyond just being scary.After Quiet Riot became the first hard rock band to score a number-one album in 1984, the genre broke into mainstream consciousness. Then the PMRC Senate hearings of 1985 gave the music a problem: it needed to stop being threatening. By 1986, the solution was in the videos. Make them colorful. Make them fun. Start somewhere relatable: a bedroom, a garage, a studio. Then escalate into an idealized fantasy of concert performance. Replace leather and skulls with neon and teased hair. What had been relegated to late-night Headbangers Ball slots now fit the 3 PM MTV daypart. The music and the medium found each other.Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet is the commercial monument to that shift. Released August 18, 1986, it rolled out singles for nearly a full year after release: “You Give Love a Bad Name” in July, “Livin' on a Prayer” in October, “Wanted Dead or Alive” the following March, “Never Say Goodbye” in June of 1987. Each one was bigger than the last. The year before, Bon Jovi had been opening for Billy Squier. The key differentiator from their earlier work: the arrival of Desmond Child as co-writer on the two biggest singles, bringing professional hit-making infrastructure to what was already a committed band.Poison's Look What the Cat Dragged In was doing the same thing with less money. Their starting address was Enigma Records, home to They Might Be Giants, The Cramps, Dead Milkmen, and Devo. An underground punk label, not a hair metal machine. Capitol entered the picture later, which explains why “Cry Tough” barely moved and “Talk Dirty to Me” became an MTV staple. Poison didn't just succeed with this blueprint; they franchised it.Van Halen's 5150 added keyboards and landed the best Sammy Hagar-era album in the process. David Lee Roth's Eat ‘Em and Smile amplified the campy fun of his Van Halen years into a career highlight. Cinderella's Night Songs made the sharpest glam debut of the year: darker and more concise than anything they'd produce later, before the bluesy detours took over. Jon Bon Jovi helped them record it. That's how fast the food chain was moving in 1986.The Thrash Revolution Running in ParallelHere's the thing about thrash in 1986: it wasn't hidden. Headbangers Ball existed. The magazines covered it. Metallica opened for Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin arena tour. But in the daytime MTV ecosystem, thrash was not the default. If you wanted it, you had to find itMaster of Puppets is eight songs long, 54 minutes, and sounded like nothing on daytime MTV or rock radio. It is heavy and precise and expansive in equal measure: a record where the title track alone runs over eight minutes and earns every second. It was Metallica's third album, the last one with Cliff Burton, and it was recorded without a single thought given to MTV rotation or radio airplay. No videos. No singles. Just the record, and the word that spread through tape trading, zines, college radio metal shows, and the underground networks that thrash metal relied on before the internet existed.What makes 1986 extraordinary is that Metallica wasn't alone. Slayer's Reign in Blood came out the same year: 29 minutes of something faster and more extreme than Master of Puppets, an album that even people who don't follow Slayer know by reputation. Megadeth's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? completed what might be the single most concentrated year of output from the Big Four of thrash metal: three of the four bands releasing arguably their best records in a twelve-month span. Anthrax didn't have an album in 1986. If they had, it would have been a clean sweep.From the German side of the Atlantic, Kreator's Pleasure to Kill was happening simultaneously: the Teutonic thrash scene developing its own parallel lineage that would eventually be recognized as a pioneer of death and black metal. These weren't crossover acts. They weren't on MTV. But they were building the foundation that would outlast nearly everything in the charts.The thrash revolution of 1986 wasn't a secret, but it was a deliberate choice. Headbangers Ball ran late. Daytime belonged to Poison and Bon Jovi. You could be into both, but at school you were expected to pick a jersey. Admitting you preferred Master of Puppets over Slippery When Wet was a statement, and not everyone in 1986 was ready to make it out loud.Legacy Bands: Update or Resist?Every established metal act in 1986 faced the same question: how much do you change?Judas Priest's Turbo is the case study in what too much looks like. Their tenth album added synthesizer guitars and chased the MTV aesthetic in ways that have remained controversial ever since. Some decent songs are buried in there, but Turbo is the canonical example of a decade-spanning band trying on a new identity because the culture demanded it, and not quite threading the needle.Ozzy Osbourne's The Ultimate Sin represents a different calculation. The image got teased and colorful. The videos fit the 3 PM slot. But the album had Jake E. Lee playing with a flashy intensity that gave it a musical spine the presentation didn't undercut. Ozzy reportedly hated it. Others call it his best solo record: a bridge between his 1970s legacy and the glam-era present that actually holds together. When Metallica opened for Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin arena tour, the lineup said everything about where the genre stood. The scariest band in the underground, opening for a legacy act who'd made himself MTV-friendly. The irony runs deep.Black Sabbath's Seventh Star was never supposed to be a Black Sabbath album. Tony Iommi assembled it as a solo project with Glenn Hughes on vocals, Eric Singer on drums, and Dave Spitz on bass. The label insisted the Sabbath name go on it. The video for “No Stranger to Love” is keyboard-driven and barely resembles Sabbath because, structurally, it isn't. What it is, divorced from its title and backstory, is a genuinely interesting record with a remarkable cast. It has been submitted to multiple DMO polls. It has not yet won. It keeps getting submitted.Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time added keyboards lightly and reads today as the last album before the tinkering accelerated. Europe's The Final Countdown produced one of the most inescapable songs of the decade and an album none of us heard past the singles. The legacy-band class of 1986 is full of acts choosing between integrity and relevance. The ones who chose wrong are instructive.The Deep Cuts That Shaped Everything (and Nobody Witnessed)Here's the version of 1986 that doesn't show up on year-end lists.In June of that year, a Swedish doom metal band called Candlemass released their debut album, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, on a label called Black Dragon Records. It did not sell. It did not chart. It was not played on the radio or shown on MTV. It was, by most measurable standards, invisible. What it was doing, quietly and without witnesses, was inventing doom metal as a genre. Every band that has worked in that sonic territory for the past forty years carries a Candlemass debt, whether they know it or not.Guns N' Roses' Live ?!@ Like a Suicide is a different kind of deep cut: a 1986 self-released EP on GN'R's own Uzi Suicide label, predating Appetite for Destruction by a full year. Some people had it. They read about the band in Hit Parader and Circus, bought the cassette, and wrote the band's name on their textbook covers. Then they came home from college and the cassette was gone, lost in a couch cushion somewhere, probably worth a lot of money now. That cassette is a small but perfect metaphor for 1986: the thing you knew about first, the object you can no longer find.The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack connects 1986 to something else entirely: the year metal started showing up in animated children's films, delivered by Stan Bush, Lion, and members of Kick Axe performing as Spectre General. For kids who saw the movie it was a first exposure to the genre. Our Picks, Three Different ArgumentsEvery roundtable eventually comes down to someone having to choose.Poison's Look What the Cat Dragged In. The blueprint for hair metal as a cultural phenomenon. The DIY machine that started on a punk indie label and franchised itself across the next four years. It is not the deepest record of 1986. But it is the one that most completely captures what the year felt like at 3 PM on a Tuesday when MTV was on. That counts for something.Metallica's Master of Puppets is the credibility anchor. The last Cliff Burton record. The document of everything Metallica was before the first video and the commercial pivot. Every move they have made since gets measured against this one, and most of them come up short. The underground case, closed.Ozzy Osbourne's The Ultimate Sin is the legacy act threading the needle correctly, or at least fascinatingly. Jake E. Lee at full power. Ozzy navigating from his 1970s origin into 1986 accessibility in a way that doesn't fully betray either. An album Ozzy reportedly hated. A pick none of us saw coming.That's 1986.Episode Highlights* 0:00: Intro. Why we went back to 1986: the year we were all buying cassettes and picking sides.* 1:52: The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack as a metal gateway. Stan Bush, Lion, and a very upsetting death for 11-year-olds.* 4:07: Cassette-buying memories. Where we each were, financially and musically, in 1986.* 8:08: The PMRC timeline and how hair metal broke onto daytime MTV in 1986, colorful videos replacing darker imagery.* 11:36: Judas Priest's Turbo as the prime example of a legacy band adding keyboards and chasing the MTV moment.* 14:08: 1986 as the greatest single year in thrash metal history. Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, and Peace Sells all released within months of each other.* 15:02: Walking into Richfield Coliseum for the last 30 seconds of Metallica opening for Ozzy, and genuinely not caring at the time.* 16:04: Listening to Master of Puppets in secret on the school bus while claiming to listen to Bon Jovi or Night Ranger.* 17:28: Why Cinderella's Night Songs holds up: darker and tighter than later work, no big ballad epics, Jon Bon Jovi's behind-the-scenes role.* 20:03: Bon Jovi's rocket-ship year. The full single timeline from You Give Love a Bad Name through Never Say Goodbye, and Desmond Child's co-writing role.* 22:49: Seeing Poison open for Quiet Riot at the Cleveland Agora reopening.

The Tony Iommi solo album the label forced into being a Sabbath record, and the DMO poll it keeps losing.* 37:44: Vinnie Vincent Invasion: Poison taken to its extreme. Pink guitars, pop DNA at maximum volume, and a singer switcheroo from Robert Fleischman to Mark Slaughter.* 45:08: Buying King Diamond's Fatal Portrait out of sheer fear, based only on a magazine photo with no MTV and no internet.* 52:30: AC/DC's Who Made Who: three new songs, six repackaged tracks, Maximum Overdrive tie-in, and the question of whether it needed to be a full album.* 56:13: The connections bands bucket. Hurricane, London, M.A.R.S., White Tiger, Rough Cutt, Black ‘N Blue: albums bought for who was in them, not what was on them.* 1:03:36: Rough Cutt's “Take a Chance” as an all-time genre standout hiding inside a mediocre album.* 1:07:29: We each name the one album that defines 1986. Three picks, no overlap.* 1:21:07: Chip's poll plug for CJSS's Praise the Loud. Cincinnati power metal. David T. Chastain. Still waiting for its DMO moment.* 1:24:07: Outro.
