@@pyrerock buddy I have $250 bass boosting headphones, and am a bassist who knows how to recognize bass frequencies better than the "average" person, and I can barely hear any audible bass, even with a bass boosting EQ as well. This isn't a meme, its an objective fact that even the band and Jason himself recognize. Edit** also, you wouldn't want a better stereo, that would just make everything but bass frequencies louder. You should probably be saying get better subs, as they boost the, guess what, sub frequencies🤯

Ever since I first heard AJFA, I've always wished somehow that Metallica could've continued in that style. What you've done here, has taken the greatest instrumental from puppets, and added the agro of AJFA into it. For the life of me IDK how you do it, I just LOVE THAT YOU DO IT! My mind has been blown once again, and I do believe I've found my new favorite! Thank you Merc for all that you do. Your content is relevant, and continues to be a gift that you share with all of us.

funny fact- when I grew up I didn't realise there was no hearable bass on ajfa- didn't have a clue cause of my ignorance.

But puppets has some heavy ass songs too: Leper Messiah, Thingy, Disposable heroes (old song, IMO overshadows the fast ride songs because of the military mass death and dark manipulation themes), Damage inc, hell it’s all awesome but it ventures into the mellow side of things that Justice doesn’t really do except for One.
