Bad Album Covers, Vol. 2 | The Rock Critic

[@RockedNet]

I really do want a Wal-Mart girl though...

[@CrashThompson]

Get a Sam's Club membership. You might be able to score a bulk deal.

[@RockedNet]

+The Rock Critic I don't know if I can fit more than one in the cart.

[@ndx2k]

+Rocked Reviews OK but when are you gonna review Warrior?

[@ZoanBlade90]

+The Rock Critic 8:10 "Can't. Stop. Doing...the Monkey!" XD

[@KinchStalker]

Come on, Luke. You're above this.

[@VoyageOne1]

That warrior album cover seems almost like a parody of a bad album cover

[@Karmy.]

VoyageOne1 something you would find at the Dollar Store

[@romankotas448]

I looked them up it’s a Christian Metal band from Texas

[@anthillgrounds]

@@romankotas448 I have listened to I Want A Walmart Girl. It was awful.

[@micmac274]

@@romankotas448 That's another reason for the rest of America to want Texas to shut up and ACTUALLY secede from the Union.

[@Jayfive276]

Just so you know, Shut Up and Dance were a old skool hardcore/early jungle production team. 'Dance Before The Police Come' is a reference to illegal raves in the UK which were a big thing in the early 90s :D

[@CrashThompson]

+Jayfive276 That is cool to know! Thanks for the insight there.

[@averagebritishguy7082]

Having now looked extensively through this group's history, a lot of it seems legitimately insane. Their biggest hit in the UK was banned after a week because of an unauthorized sample from Walking in Memphis of all goddamn songs.

[@salswordfish]

There's a guy running for Virginia senator named Dick Black

[@helios5868]

8:20 Those are butterfly swords. They come from southern China and are kind-of a staple of the arts from the era. They're actually really cool to see in action. Not something you'd know, just, you know... Also, those might be actually made of metal. I find it hard to believe that they'd skimp on something that would probably cost less than 100 dollars. Seriously, those things don't cost nothing, but I really doubt they're cardboard.

[@orcatwar9810]

glad i found a comment about this cause i was about to write one and i need to make sure that there is a comment about it

[@ZoanBlade90]

2:58 More like "The Battle has been lost".

[@arquibody]

I watch this over and over again just for the "I Want a Walmart Girl" rant

[@KegOfMeat]

Luke Spencer and Crash are the prototypical KZbin Rock Album Reviewers

[@VoyageOne1]

"Svetlana when I said we are blowing I meant the instruments, not the marching band" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@linainverse9369]

Yes that was hilarious

[@Derekthepersonable]

It took me ages to realize why Orleans seemed familiar, then it hit me they sing Still The One! So def one of the bigger bands from vol. 2.

[@austinwilleke409]

Fun fact: I set my GF's desktop background to Wasnatch and set a password on it so it cannot be removed. WASNATCH FOREVER

[@CrashThompson]

Oh man. That's way too harsh. I'd be wary she doesn't dump you for that one. :)

[@linainverse9369]

That's funny

[@sashizakura9124]

Has she broken up with you yet? ;)

[@austinwilleke409]

Well we broke up a few years back and maybe in retrospect Wasnatch had a contribution. Thanks for the update 9 years later XD

[@qualitynotincluded]

This series is fantastic!

[@Falxifer95]

Fun fact: I made my brother watch this and he keep pushing and pushing to slow-mo the video to watch that hideous horror, I read your whole speech. No it wasn't worth it, what was worth it was my brother's face of absolute horror and regret though XD ;)

[@CrashThompson]

+TheSlayFer Ch. T. Like I said in the video, you guys basically did that to yourselves. 😊

[@BoojieBaker]

Some sick dance moves you've got, Crash!

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

This was awesome, especially the return of Swamp Dogg, Swamp Harder.

[@Logan_Weasel]

ok quick story, im from Boston Massachusetts and Washington D.C. and now im residing in Mobile Alabama, i was at a thrift store and i managed to snag a copy of no control by bad religion, but i also bought a copy of that warrior album for the hell of it.

[@Mageclick]

Your scottish accent makes you sound like Demoman from tf2, and considering the skit this was for, I want an SFM of this to exist

[@DynamicFoods]

You’re so damn underrated dude! This is literally one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.🤣🤣🤣

[@rubywest5166]

I've only just worked out why Luke won. Everyone else made purile fellatio jokes, but Luke is a man of culture. He made a rimming joke.

[@AvocadoDiaboli]

Nonono Crash, you read that wrong, it's not great for the whole family, it's great for the Whole Family. You know, Mr. and Mrs. Whole with Bobby and Jenny Whole, sitting in front of their grandma's radio, rockin' out to some "I Want A Walmart Girl Otherwise, great video, I had many genuine laughs! Especially that Wasnatch cover literally had me pausing for a couple of minutes so I could recover. It's also infinitely more funny to me as a trombone player who has plenty of friends who actually do play the trumpet and a few who play the horn. One small criticism: The image shaking bit between the record executive and Dick the Scotsman. Really bordering on headache inducing unfortunately, especially with the 60fps footage blown up to 1080p in full screen. Next time, better go with the tried-and-true way of just animating lipflaps like on a ventriloquist doll.

[@CrashThompson]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for bringing up the motion-sickness potential of that bit. I'll take that in mind for future vids.

[@thegreataprilsomething]

At 8:53 just kills me every freaking time!!!!😂

[@Katie_Woo]

That beehive hair style!!!! I kept expecting Voldemort’s face to be hidden under it!

[@xdeadbeatboi6666x]

The Dick Black parts is the most funniest part in this video. "a taste of Dick Black!" XDXDXDXDXD........

[@billiejoeeyelash]

7:27 I literally said the exact same thing you said right after you said it

[@thepancakereviewer]

12:33, if any one is turned on by chest hair.

[@MusicGeekery]

Every time I watch this I think beehive lady looks like Spoony in an absurd wig And btw, it was worth it

[@EricE549]

10:26 god these UIs are relics edit: 14:16 this turned out to be a hoax. however, the photo in the cover actually comes from "Spiel mit auf deiner Blockflöte - Mittelstufe I: Altflöte," released on classical label Deutsche Grammophon.

[@pushon10]

Apology accepted, all the way from Aberdeen.

[@devinmccreery8003]

Swamp Dog looks like #StevieWonder this time. I still don't want A #Walmart girl.

[@Veymex]

Hey Rock Critic, I was wondering what your opinion on the lost Weezer space opera "Songs from the Black Hole" is. I mean, its totally possible you've never cared to hear it but I was just curious since I share a lot of similar opinions on their music.

[@CrashThompson]

Honestly, I haven't listened to it yet. I know you can find it cobbled together in various places, but I've never taken the time to get to it. One of these days I'll give it a spin. I just don't really have the time or desire to just yet.

[@Thepoltergiest101]

This might cause some backlash, but I stand by it. Lamb of God's "The Sacrament" has a really bad album cover.

[@lizucavictoria]

Where do you find these? This video made my evening!

[@grim1683]

That warriors album cover looks like a kiss knockoff

[@deandupont5503]

Good news! Warrior's hit is available right here on KZbin!

[@RockARhymeLikeThat]

Hey! you should check out GREY DAZE (it's Chester Bennington's first band) there's only two albums, but I personally think there are amazing songs on there. I wanna know what you think. ☺👍

[@Davidwash3r3]

12:33 yes...yes it was NAOTIMEZ2GRABME1EYEDSNICKE!

[@drpibisback7680]

In all fairness to Warrior, they're more of a punk/power metal band. Like the Ramones huffed paint and then wrote an Iron Maiden album. They do indeed suck harder than a black hole, but they could conceivably be "great for the whole family."

[@orcatwar9810]

the ManOWar album is fist of the north star and village people album is JOJO's BIZARRE ADVENTURES

[@p.d.l7023]

8:41 = Martial arts weapons.

[@MrInitialMan]

I listened to "I Want A Walmart Girl." Aught seems amiss, but you have better-trained ears than I do. As for "My lips are for blowing"--honestly, Mr. Thompson, you and your friends seem well on your way to writing The Bloodhound Gang's next song. I know how you feel about The Bloodhound Gang. That's why I referenced them. Oh, and one more thing: That beehive hairdo? HUGELY in fashion in the 1970s. So a lot of those old album covers only look goofy to us now because of changes in style.

[@someguy3752]

What's the song at 7:52?

[@p.d.l7023]

D. Black: Wut did ya think is up under me kilt, lad?🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😃

Hey dude, why don't you make a "Best Album Covers" video?

[@CrashThompson]

If there's enough interest in something like that, I certainly wouldn't be against it.

[@Gixwing]

Yeah, unless he goes into why it is

[@lamestudiosinc418]

Some suggestions Sgt. Pepper's by The Beatles Funeral by Arcade Fire LYSFLATH by GY!BE Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart Faust by Faust Suicide by Suicide ITCOTCK by King Crimson Kind of Blue by Miles Davis The Velvet Underground and Nico by The Velvet Underground and Nico

[@ZoanBlade90]

2:28 (One Google Search Later) One star for their album. It's about what I figured this was worth. If I were a Patreon supporter of Rocked Reviews, I would ask Luke to review this album, if only for us to learn just how terrible their "hit" really is.

[@KevinLuper99]

What does the really fast text around the All My Friends Are Dead part say?

[@franniemcintyre120]

It reads "No. I have no idea if I'm pronouncing that right. If I fucked it up feel free to tear me a new one in the comments."

[@brianlose4952]

love your videos crash. only thing I can say in complaint though is that your face is just a little out of focus in several of your latest videos. Keep up the great work though!

[@CrashThompson]

Thanks! And yeah, I'm not 100% sure what's causing that. Hopefully, I'll have that figured out by the next vid.

[@brianlose4952]

+The Rock Critic also can't believe you didn't use the joke "brass to mouth" haha

I honestly hope these videos help Swamp Dogg gain more recognition. He's got his own KZbin channel, if you want to check him out.

[@PinkDevilFish]

What's the song playing at 3:20. It sounds so familiar but I can't figure it out. Save my sanity almighty Rock Critic.

[@CrashThompson]

It's Kevin MacLeod's "Kool Kats".

[@kjtheguitarist3922]

The covers on the previous episode are pretty suck, but wow... You cracked me up.

um... am I the only one who noticed a single frame with a bunch of text on it around the 7:30 mark?

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qF6pno18adFggNk 0:23 "WARRIOR music is straight-ahead rock *with lyrics designed to help people.* Their sound progressed from the mid-ninties and progressed to today's rock and punk similar to *Nickleback, Good Charlotte, The All-American Rejects, etc.* WARRIOR music is a combination (great English, band from Texas)of hard-rock, alternative punk, *progressive melodic rock,* (AHHHHHAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) and crossover pop hits like "I Want A Walmart Girl" while still maintaining a *distinctive signature sound recognized by fans, on radio airplay, and on the internet as WARRIOR music.*" This had to come from the band. This blurb is to delusionally positive to have come from anyone but the band. Not even their mothers' would have written this because, spoiler alert, Warrior kinda suck...and are probably a Christian band.

Why do those guys looked bored to all fuck on every picture? :/ They look like people in cosplay at a sci-fi convention because their girlfriends talked them into it...

[@drpibisback7680]

helios5868 The impression I got from "I want a Wal-Mart girl" was The Ramones trying to play Iron Maiden. And failing spectacularly.

That Jesus pic was scarring and discriminating. Your overall work is great, but it's good be careful about how your reference religious figures. Religion is just as sensitive s subject as race and sexuality.

[@Jayfive276]

No it wasn't, no he shouldn't, no it isn't. Stop it.

[@PaladinCecil]

If you think there's nothing wrong with it and that I have a problem, then you must also think it's okay for him to refer to black people as 6-letter n words or gays as 6-letter f words. There's nothing good about discriminating people who tend to get brutally killed just for religious beliefs and even if that didn't happen, it wouldn't be bigotry any less.

[@Jayfive276]

PaladinCecil And now you're making up things that havent happened to get offended about. There's no discrimination here. Be quiet and step away.
