Really now? You make a video about female fronted metal bands and leave Hanabie. out, but put in the ultra-boring Lovebites? Sorry, but that's a very bad decision.

[@arnepietruszewski9255]

You really managed to leave out Nightwish when showing your "normie" wife female fronted metal? Correct that mistake as soon as you read this comment. Your wife will be forever grateful for showing her one of the best voices of our time.

[@kirdot2011]

you definitely need to do a full video on Spiritbox especially now with that "Soft spine" song that just came out!

[@apoplexiamusic]

Pourquoi? Parce que Megadeth est très populaire au Québec, ils ont même une bière brassée par Unibroue (filiale de Sleeman)

[@ryantannar5301]

Fans on stage is USUALLY not a safety risk, but when it is you get a Dimebag Darrell situation

[@damsaucy]

fans on stage: hardcore yes (bands are relatable, part of the community, not above the crowd etc), metal no (dimebag darrell)

[@MinionOfDarkness]

Okay, very nice! Let me say that IMHO Call of the Mountain is my favorite female fronted video of all time! Pieces is definitely in the top 5. In the #2 spot it's Handshake with Hell Summer 2023 tour video. 🤘🏼

[@garykeeling2275]

Japan is pretty much the unrivaled world leader for female and female-fronted metal bands. There are about as many in Japan as there are in the rest of the world combined, and they pretty much demolish their Western counterparts. LOVEBITES, Band-Maid, Nemophila, Hanabie, Trident, Hagane, Bridear, Fate Gear, Gacharic Spin, BABYMETAL, Asterism, Unlucky Morpheus, Wagakki Band, and many more.

[@damianw.3962]

Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation - all female grindcore band. Gallhammer - all female black/doom/crust band. honorable mentions : )

[@stevewesley3841]

All of those.... That is basically my playlist

[@Majiger]

Only problem is, just like J-Rock/Pop, the bands are manufactured more often than not. So after the first wave of bands, the music will end up sounding the same/formulaic.

[@michaelafrancis1361]

@@Majiger This is a myth. In point of fact Japanese rock and metal bands form pretty much as organically as they do in the west. Take a band like Destrose whose long list of former members went on to form a whole new family of bands. In fact the music scene is pretty close knit in Japan and many band members have close ties to other bands which makes for a great deal of intermingling and collaboration. The myth that these bands are somehow corporately "manufactured" is usually perpetrated by gate keeper old metal heads who think you can't be "real" metal unless you sound and look like an industrial accident in somebody's garage. They somehow seem intimidated by the high level technical musicianship and professional showmanship that is typical of Japanese bands and think it must be made by some faceless guy in a suit.

[@Majiger]

@@michaelafrancis1361 It isn't a myth, please look a little closer at the Japanese music industry. While independent bands exist, the primary bands that are advertised with big productions are, by and large, owned by some corporation or another. That doesn't mean bands like Destrose don't exist, they are simply not the norm. No one mentioned anything, what is "real" or isn't. I'm simply stating that the first wave of a type of music is generally the most independent of industry fingers. Once something pops off, it is heavily monetized by the Japanese music industry. That's not even mentioning how Visual-Kei has dipped into elements of metal for years but was never considered metal due to probably Western bias towards more aggressive sounds.

[@Ryashon01]

Courtney from Spiritbox does scream like that. You should check out one of her one take videos. Like Spiritbox - Rule of Nines - Courtney LaPlante live one take performance

[@vincentdarkrosrayne]

spiritbox has fallen off in terms of what their unique sound was. they went super mainstream which is no wonder the wife rates their song so high. it's literally just a radio song. their latest song is closer to how they used to sound for their second EP which matched the name of the band very well. after Eternal Blue they just went into sounding generic.

[@blacksunshine1437]

What about : Hanabie's "We Love Sweets" Crypta's "From The Ashes" Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult's "A Plague Called Humanity" 🔥⚡🤘

[@Ningishzida]

Yeah, Hanabie is a must. If you do Baby Metal, you should do Broken by the Scream as well. Crypta is a good call as well.

[@iIIiteratex]

Here's some more great female-fronted metal bands: Thorr's Hammer (Death Doom) Mythic (Death Metal) Dipygus (Death Metal) Hulder (Black Metal) Smoulder (Heavy Metal) Castle Rat (Doom Metal) Acid King (Stoner Metal) Couch Slut (Sludge Metal) Year of the Knife (Deathcore) Venom Prison(Deathcore) Sacrilege (Crust Punk) Cloud Rat (Grindcore) Edit: also shout-out to Wata from Boris who isn't a vocalist but is one of my favorite guitarists ever.

If you two ever do sit down to watch some Babymetal, I hope you show her more than just Gimme Chocolate! 😂 One of my favorite ways to start people who don't know Babymetal is Catch Me If You Can live at Budokan...the surprise when the girls come on stage is always good. I would also recommend Megitsune (official MV), Road of Resistance (official live video), and either Akatsuki or Rondo of Nightmare live at Budokan. Babymetal fanboying aside, I've really been enjoying this series. I have a normie wife of my own, almost makes me want to do a similar thing with her 😄

[@JanStuivenberg2810]

And don't forget Nemophila. 🤘😋

[@MakooWallinen]

A few more suggestions ranging from Mainstream to obscure as usual: Nightwish Flyleaf (If Grunge can be included, this should maybe fit) Sigh (Semi Female fronted, she is a saxophonist and singer, lead singer in some songs) Gallhammer, and all female japanese Crust Punk that is the total opposite of Babymetal.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

LOVEBITES are phenomenal, you should listen to more of their music, they are very diverse.

[@natashamarikleeba6239]

Hanabie, Entheos, Crypta, Year of the Knife are a few I can think of that you missed. I would also add some old school Eths in there.

[@joanasilva6388]

Since she seems to like clear singing I would recommend checking out some Gothic/Doom metal bands with female lead/singers like Trees of Eternity, Draconian, The Birthday Massacre (very different she might like) , The Gathering, Theatre of Tragedy, Mortal Love and Lacuna Coil

[@paulriddle7818]

Anneke and Christina 🤘

[@redfbaesse]

[@EtherPole]

You should show her Arch Enemy - Nemesis live with Angela Gossow on the vocals. The energy is insane.

[@garfieldfan3892]

and the agonist with alissa, the mix of clean singing is so nice

[@siebensunden]

Such a missed opportunity which turned to reaction to normie female fronted metal. Where the hell are Crisis with Karyn Crisis? She is absolute queen of female vocals in extreme music. Her current solo project is also finebut she shined mostly in Crisis. My other suggestions are: - Health Hazard (UK) extreme hardcore punk - After the Bombs (Canada) metal crust in the way of Sacrelige - third world planet "World Waste" demo era (Canada) great hardcore grind - Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult (Germany) black metal, Onielar not only does vocals but she also plays guitar. She is also vocalist for the last two Bethlehem albums. - Thorr's Hammer (USA) the vocalist Runhild is actually from Norway and she was seventeen when she recorded material with the band. Absolutely insane vocals! - Society Gang R@pe (Sweden) Swedish type of käng punk spiced with a pinch of death metal and grindcore as well - Aghora (USA) their first selftitled album is very approachable technical/fusion metal with clean vocals - Recusant (UK and France if not mistaken) great avantgarde anarcho punk with various not so metal and punk instruments - Kittie (USA) all girl modern metal band Evelyn likes bands from Japan? Here we go: - Melt Banana - mixture of many styles but always hectic and wild - Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation - all girl grindcore band - 385 - very funky noise punk, insanly good stuff

[@yalu2]

She says "tonight we ride? We don't say today!" - YES we DO! :D :D

[@ArvoR]

From all female bands I recommend: (metalcore) Nemophila - Adabana and Hanabie. (powermetal) Lovebites, Bridear, Mary's Blood, Doll$boxx, Aldius (hard rock) Band-Maid - Dont You Tell ME and Gacharic Spin Female fronted: Unlucky Morpheus (speed/power/symphonic metal) and Wagakki Band (folk rock) And then there are the best symphonic metal band in the whole world (personal favorite) Epica - Chasing the Dragon live

[@SingerslashNovelist]

Evanescence; Nightwish; Within Temptation; Lacuna Coil; Butcher Babies; The Pretty Reckless; Halestorm; and most importantly, with the scream queen herself.. the beautiful Mother Goddess Maria Brink.. In This Moment (the song I recommend is Sanctify Me).

[@bandmaidfanATL]

Y'all should react to all the other amazing all female rock and metal bands from Japan. Band-Maid, Nemophila, Hanabie and Nek! are amazing, but there are many more. Rock isn't dead, it moved to Japan and changed gender. 🕊️ Also, The Warning out of Mexico.

[@timhutchinson8485]

If Evelyn likes “ Call of the Mountains” she would probably like Cellar Darling, Anna Murphy’s band after she left Eluveitie.

If you want a band with a massive Iron Maiden influence crossed with Muse, Foo Fighters and Metallica, you need The Warning. Bonus: tightest live band ever, incredible energy and stage presence, masterful writers and arrangers. 🔥

[@VARVIS_]

Excellent its on the list for the next one!

[@the_hetman]

The Warning are amazing (I’ve seen them live 3 times) but they are at the heavier end of classic/alt rock rather than metal. Their heaviest songs do move into metal, “Sharks” has a very Nu metal vibe and they did a great version of “Enter Sandman” for the Metallica Blacklist album.

[@ClavisRa]

@@the_hetman Depends on what one means by "metal". For a channel that features Iron Maiden, they are as metal as them or Black Sabbath or even Metallica ever were. If you mean contemporary sub-categories of metal, there are many "heavier", if how aggressive and dense the sound is what matters to one.

[@the_hetman]

I don’t disagree, at least in a historical context. The metal bands from the 70s and 80s weren’t as heavy as those that have come later, but metal has become redefined in more recent decades and I was mostly saying that The Warning doesn’t fit that newer definition. The band doesn’t define themselves as metal which is why I prefer to say that they are at the heavier end of classic rock.

[@ClavisRa]

@the_hetman For sure. And metal will always have an evolving identity. The Warning lands with metal fans the same way people who like jazz often enjoy Steely Dan.

[@moralfo0109]

[@gradyshmalady8284]

LOVEBITES and the Japanese metal scene as a whole is underrated. Yes, the Japanese vibrato is unique, nice that you noticed it. Japan prides itself on its ability to create "the gap" which is essentially a juxtaposition of cuteness/softness with heavy, at least in this context.

[@OKBzldr]

if you wanna keep the Japanese female fronted metal band thing going, check out Nemophila and HANABIE. There was some other very cool suggestions down below, Band-Maid, Trident, Gacharic Spin and so on...

[@earthscorcher]

[@Zedem0n]

- Eths - Détruis-Moi (French black metal: Candice is the first vocalist, i don't like much the second one) - Walls of Jericho - A Trigger Full of Promises - BABYMETAL - Akatsuki (or anything really)

[@sVieira151]

Some suggestions for metal bands to react to that I think she might find interesting: Oceans of Slumber: I like Winter, but Cammie does some growling on Where Gods Fear to Speak so I think that could be cool Draconian: Sorrow of Sophia. Have you given her any doom yet? :D Nova Twins: Antagonist. Bit of a throwback to the early 2000s, but nobody really like them about at the moment. Perchta: Hebamm. She has some incredibly expressive harsh vocals. Also a song about midwives! Ulcerate: Stare Into Death and Be Still. Just because I want to hear you try to explain Ulcerate to her lol Long song so feel free to go shorter. Avatarium: Boneflower. Very 70s singing approach, in my opinion. That's probably too many but thought I'd throw some names in the ring. The one other I can think of is Devin Townsend, especially since he's Canadian.

[@metheiam5714]

I was hoping Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult to be here. Onielar's screams are great, especially live. I'll recommend their song "Saldorian spell" for the next female fronted band reactions. Might as well recommend Asagraum - Gospel of Ignition while i am at it, although i assume this type of black metal songs aren't gonna be her cup of tea

[@blacksunshine1437]

Onielar is the best.😍🤘

[@ElekiSerket]

Détente, Holy Moses, Meanstreak and Nightwish are the first that come to mind when I think of female fronted metal, maybe these could go in a part 2

[@thebamboo8034]

please show her the warning. she said she wanna see full female fronted bands and the warning are literally 3 sisters and they're great

[@Mischnikvideos]

I don't like the term female fronted because there are too many of them. But there are only a few American ones and only they think it's so exotic. The video with the most reaction videos is Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. Then come Viceos by BTS and Babymetal. In the 1960s/70s, British and US pop music was very popular. Because it is also the common language for Europeans as a whole, it has remained popular to this day. Many people can understand an English text, but only a few can understand an Estonian one. And the language sounds familiar to everyone. A text in German sounds controversial because not every country has had good experiences with Germany. The change from growls/screams to normal is not difficult. These are techniques that you can practice and then it works reflexively. Octave jumps are more difficult in my opinion because it is harder to get the tension right. Fans on stage are difficult. If something happens, the band can be held responsible. The fans can also become aggressive towards the band. With small bands, not much happens, but the more prominent a band is, the more fans there are, the more crazy people there are. At some point it becomes too difficult.

[@vincentdarkrosrayne]

Poppy is a good artist to contrast between her pop era and metal era. other good female fronted bands are Dream State, In This Moment, Tommy Heavenly6, Dazzle Vision, Lacuna Coil, Otep, Lacey Sturm (early Flyleaf), Infected Rain, Kittie (preferable their first album), and Straight Line Stitch. Oh, and i guess Linkin Part can be on that list now. bands from pretty much all over but i believe all of them have songs mostly in english (aside from tommy heavenly6 which is about 40% english 60% japanese. also that band is more alternative rock than metal)

[@dhaddine5472]

+1 for Dazzle Vision

[@AngryTree123]

I can suggest a couple female fronted bands such as: 1. “Flagitious Idiosyncrasy in the Dilapidation”. They are an obscure grindcore band with all female members. They released one album in 2013 called Wallow. 2. “Gore.” . A more popular band. The singer is great at harsh vocals and she’s a great singer. They only have a handful of songs but they are worth checking out such as “Pray” and “Doomsday”. I haven’t listened to their newest song yet. (They only have 3 songs). You guys would probably like Gore more than the previous band.

[@DarkTyrany22]

A less well known band that I really enjoy is Straight Line Stitch, especially the album When Skies Wash Ashore. A really punchy metalcore band

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Semblant - "What Lies Ahead", Eleine - "Ava of Death" or "Enemies", Within Temptation ft. Tarja - "Paradise", Nightwish (Tarja) - "Phantom of the Opera"/Nightwish (Floor) - "Yours is an Empty Hope" (do the Wembley version) Criticize at your own peril - their fans can be vicious but the view is worth it, Dorothy - "Rest in Peace" or "Raise Hell", Doro - "All We Are", Exit Eden ft. Marko Hietala - "Run", Visions of Atlantis - "Master the Hurricane", Amaranthe - "Digital World", Edge of Paradise - "Digital Paradise", In This Moment - "Big Bad Wolf" or "Black Wedding (ft.

Great to see people reacting to such things. (this is not any slight towards you, just want to point out some things, some are common misconceptions) 1:51 Probably the most reacted to is: Babymetal, but in the past the distribution company took down a lot of reactions (common for Japanese companies in the past, Japan has no fair use exception so they can just do that), but people have been reacting to them since at least 2014/2015. And still getting multiple reactions per day and Babymetal's Gimme Choco MV is getting closer to 200 million views now. That said, I would not recommend to listen to that as a first reaction, unless you want to shock factor. Why not something like: Ijime,Dame,Zettai at Sonisphere, 2014, UK. I'm certain some could say Babymetal isn't metal, let's say the music is metal music. Metal music in Japan used to be a lot bigger (X-Japan era, etc. if you want to checkout women from that era: Show-Ya, they even existed a few years before X-Japan and are still active), I wouldn't say it's big now in Japan (just like rock and metal where more popular in the past in the west), what we are seeing is more Japanese bands finding ways to the western market, especially KZbin, etc. I do think things have slowly improved, the current wave was started by Babymetal. But Japan still has only 1 regular big metal festival, which has a hard time filling a 20 000 people stadium for 2 days (Bring Me The Horizon and Babymetal both have organized their own festivals at the same venue as well, for the first time, we don't know if this will return, a venue Babymetal by themselves sell out regularly),. While in Europe (a population almost 6 times as large), we got a whole bunch of festivals which are 80 000+ at a single stage at a festival with a lot more stages. So sure for Asia, yes, Japan is probably the top country. 22:00 the culture of singing is different for sure, vocal coaches regularly ignore a part of the vocal range very much taught in the west (I've read about this in the past, but I'm no expert so I forgot the name of the part of the range).

You missed your chance to include Dying Wish, Gel, Terminal Sleep, and Capra!

[@jfalk6500]

you should watch the live recording Spiritbox did, where its just Courtney on vocal with Rule of Nines - you can really see that she's still actually pretty relaxed while screaming also definitely for Babymetal you should do Megitsune

[@Faustustopheles]

subscribed. reminded me of when I was first having my wife listen to my metal 🤘🏼

[@nikkibregnhj8206]

Now that you show her female frontend bands Nice to see you show her Arch enemy you should definitely have showed her handshake with hell, house of mirrors, the eagle flies alone, the world is yours, War eternal even the old stuff with Angela we will rise, nemesis and my apocalypse. But in my humble opinion you forgot to show her lacuna coil that are one of the greatest metal bands besides Arch enemy Christina scabbias voice is so beautiful and all their albums kicks ass especially comalies xx that whole album you should definitely show her another good bands you should show her as well is cellar darling with Black Moon and freeze. In this moment beautiful tragedy and as well as babymetal and of course another Japanese metal band ladybaby Nippon manju that song too is amazing love your channel man ❤

[@VARVIS_]

Will do man! Thanks for all of these! Appreciate you 👍

[@mstorrboy]

Arch enemy and unleash the archers,.

[@PomLimey]

To get a flavour of what a female can bring to metal you must listen to Nightwish “Yours Is An Empty Hope” live from Mexico City. Floor Jansen is the complete package. From growling to opera and anything in between. Floor is doing the growling in the chorus.

[@MrHerodoto]

Evelyn shines on screen! The only bad thing is when the videos with her ends. We need more of this content!

Love the Alberta flag! Fun seeing KZbinrs from my home

[@nottimburton553]

Female fronted? Hmm. Crisis - Deathshead Extermination. Arkona - 10 let vo Slavu (Full-concert). Maybe she would like Therion's Vovin or Secret of the Runes, not female-fronted, but you know, they have the choir thing going on.

[@rockrap6240]

Have you never heard of The Warning? Three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico. This hard-rocking trio is the real deal. Check ‘em out,

[@baruteku]

While I am a bit dissapointed that Arch Enemy wasnt included as video, and no Lacuna Coil.... Great Video Guys....

[@VARVIS_]

Yeah didnt realize that song would be blocked Will do another episode like this and will do other another AE song

[@nikkibregnhj8206]

​@@VARVIS_Yeah more Arch enemy 🤘

[@MrJayzilla101]

Conquer Divide, baby metal, nightwish, scene queen, cassyette, Butcher babies, New Year’s Day, Amaranthe, Lacuna Coil, Dream state (early stuff with CJ on vocals)

[@sunshaker01]

There are a lot of female fronted or all female bands in Japan (JPop, JRock, JMetal and so on) a short selection for JMetal would be Hanabie, Nemophila, Doll$Boxx (Dolls Box), Unlucky Morpheus, STMLT (Stimulate), Bridear, KOIAI, HAGANE, Asterism (they started out as an Instrumental band but have added singing lately, so some songs have no vocals), Destrose (on hiatus), Mary's Blood (on hiatus), Lightbringer (on hiatus). If you expand the list to include JRock (Rock/Hard Rock) you can add Gacharic Spin (for a Rock band they can go surprisingly heavy, see "I Wish I"), Band-Maid, East of Eden, Lonessome_Blue, Nek! (Neki, the "!" is an upside down "i"). Some of those bands are related in interesting ways (past members, shared members, side projects, composers) there is 1 big family in the bands I listed: Destrose (at least a dozen bands including Lovebites, Nemophila, Albion, Mary's Blood, Lonesome_blue, Disqualia, Aldious, Fate Gear), and a bunch connected to the vocalist Fuki (Fuki Collective, Lightbringer, Unlucky Morpheus, Doll$Boxx which has very strong ties to Gacharic Spin). One thing I will say about the female Japanese bands is that they tend to be friends with each other (the women for women thing), you will see them at each others concerts, spending downtime together, supporting each other during emergencies and god help you if you piss them off (the Band-Maid song "Hate?" is about a cheating spouse of another singer). Edit: Oh and turn Closed Captions on, many of the Japanese bands know they have western audiences and have provided lyric translations. For non-Japanese female fronted metal bands: Ankor, Face Yourself, Nightwish, Epica, and Arch Enemy. As for your wife's comment about being a classically trained pianist and then switching to metal, that is more common in Japan than you would think the shining example is a Pianist/guitarist by the name of Miyako from Lovebites (a concert grade pianist turned master guitarist/composer) for stand out examples of her playing the piano see the songs "Swan Song (with Chopin intro)" and "Edge of the World" and her solo work "Eagle Fly Free (piano cover)" she has serious skills. Another known example is Kanami from Band-Maid (Hard Rock instead of Metal) again piano to guitarist/composer though there are less songs of her playing, she has said that she only listened to classical music until high school and that her favorite composer was Chopin. It is interesting that both Miyako and Kanami have a very similar path through life, classical education, serious piano skills, pick up guitar in their teens, serious guitar skills, both compose many of their respective bands songs.

[@Krieghandt]

Jinjer is number 2 in reactions. Nightwish Ghost Score Love is number one.

[@TheEnlightenShadow]

Loving the series! Would love to see more compilation series. Maybe genre compilations or band compilations to her higher rated bands

Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult is amazing as well. Onielar has very unique vocals

[@JuuS0]

"One of the languages I dont speak"? How many languages she does speak?

[@VARVIS_]

3 lol 😂😂😂

[@evarvy]

I definitely made it sound like I speak more than 3 languages 🙈

[@JuuS0]

@@evarvy yeah kinda. Me too if I count nonsense as one of them, if not maybe 2ish?

[@DorianTheReaper]

some nightwish mightve given a cool contrast

[@paulriddle7818]

Or a ballad with Simone

[@redguern]

She said there are not many female fronted metal bands and then mentioned Selina Gomez during the Lovebites song! Where have you been hiding her? At least you’re trying but I think you’ve got your work cut out trying to bring her in from the cold 😕

[@TheLiquidCastle]

slipknot should be a nobrainer, maybe even something softer, more melodic like devil in i, beyond that, the following should be considered: fit for a king - god of fire synestia - i, the devourer(since she said she likes classic, right?) ice nine kills - funeral derangement betraying the martyrs - the resilient powerwolf - undress to confess rammstein - mein teil (cause it's based on a real event) or morgenstern korn - freak on a leash mick gordon - the only thing they fear is you (why not throw in a videogame soundtrack) gloryhammer - keeper of the celestial flame of abernethy or universe on fire suicide silence - unanswered bullet for my valentine - hand of blood polaris - hold you under nightwish - dark chest of wonders aversions crown - ophiophagy breakdown of sanity - crumble (or new world?) ah well and after 11:32 , might as well throw in "electric callboy - tekkno train" and if we feel waaaay too over confident, there's always infant annihilator - soil the stillborn

[@MrTinothemib]

Sorry, Spiritbox is such mega mainstream radio computer generated pop, just like she said Miley Cyrus vibe, not real metal but everything digitally smoothed out in the studio, highly produced.... that's why this band is so disappointing live on stage because they can never deliver the quality that they sound on the album, online, in the studio! Courtney never sounds as good live, her clear singing voice is very good, but she should let it scream and growl because it sounds so tortured and unpleasant live in the long run! For me the most overrated band, only because of their Tikitoki hype they have this big "pseudo success" only because of the online push and because it is such radio Miley pop "hard rock", mainstream music is Spiritbox from A to Z!!!

[@timhutchinson8485]

Larissa Stupar (the singer in Wolf Down) is now in a band called Venom Prison.

[@jgxvx]

Venom Prison would be a really nice follow-up to this episode. Her vocals on the Audiotree live session are godly.

[@UberNoodle]

Woah, I was not expecting to see Albion on this list. If you're interested, the singer from Albion was in a band called Rakshasa, which WAS a folk metal band side project of the some members of Japanese symphonic black metal band, Ethereal Sin. I also recommend Japanese, neoclassical power metal band, Area51. Their music video "Nightmare" is on the Tubes, off their second most recent album. But their latest album (albeit 2014) is fantastic and the best album by far: "Judge The Joker".
