Continuing the retrospective look at albums celebrating 30-year anniversaries, Somewhere in Time Podcast discuss the album The Ritual by Testament. The last album to feature the “classic” Testament lineup, there are some conflicting views on this album between the four hosts. What are your thoughts on this album? Did it meet your expectations as a Testament fan? Does it hold up over time?
Episode 5 of Somewhere in Time’s retrospective look on albums from the year 1992 focuses on Angel Dust by the band Faith No More. This was quite a turning point in the career of Faith No More. Everything from the vocal style of Mike Patton to the evolution of their music is discussed in this episode. A lot of people may have been expecting to get “Epic” part 2 when this album was released, but that is certainly not the case with this one. Hear where Somewhere in Time Podcast ranks this album amongst the best albums of 1992 and a lot more.
In this best-of-episode, the focus is on albums that were “forgotten gems”, or albums that were revisited with low expectations, that were actually very good. Whether it be the case that the guys had simply forgotten how good the album was or perhaps they’d never even heard the album before, there are some good stories that go with each of the albums discussed in this episode.
White Zombie’s “La Sexorcisto – Devil Music Vol 1” is the topic of discussion in Episode 4 of Somewhere in Time’s retrospective look on albums from the year 1992. Tim, Joe, Keith, and Eric discuss everything from the making of this album, the shift in musical direction that White Zombie made with this album, and how Beavis and Butthead helped their rise to stardom.
Tim, Joe, Keith, and Eric discuss two albums in Episode 3 of their look back on albums from the year 1992. “Sweet Oblivion” by Screaming Trees and “Meantime” by Helmet. This was actually the first time hearing both of these albums for 3 out of 4 of the members of the podcast! Definitely some differing of opinions on a lot of the songs in this episode.
