EP. 60- The DEMONDICE Debacle (Strange Fiction Review)
We're back to our most controversial topic, with Aurie selecting a DEMONDICE album for the group to listen to. We read the comments, we hear you, and Aurie is here to educate the masses. It's our favorite demon, will Jordy finally be swayed? We know Tyler is already lost to the cause. See if Aurie can defend one of their favorite artists in this episode, with a lot of deep delves into the lyrics and overall themes of DEMONDICE.

Classic Compilation Albums Review: Big Shiny Tunes 4 - 1999

The Metal Debate is back with another amazing metal album review... the new one from Celestial Wizard, “Regenesis" (Scarlet Records, 2025).

QUOTES
“I do truly get hint of aspects of their sound and style that could be fleshed out into something truly groundbreaking...  But for now I’m pretty damn happy with this new batch of music from Celestial Wizard and will give Regenesis an 8 out of 10 rating.  One of the stronger releases I’ve heard in 2025 and certainly in competition to make my best albums list for the year."

Metal Debate Album Review - Rubidium (Visitant)

Episode 254: Peter Pan Syndrome!!!

- R.I.P. to Malcolm Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan
- Coldplay concert cheaters
- Rick Ross vs. 85 South Show
- Keith Lee addresses gay-baiting rumours
- Off First Listen: DON’T TAP THE GLASS
- 30 Sec Review: Alfredo 2

What is Peter Pan Syndrome and why do most of us millennials have it? So they say of course, but there’s an argument to be made that the generations before us were made to grow up too fast. And what’s up with folks cheating at Coldplay concerts? Did we miss something? :joy:

Tyler, the Creator’s return to form in ‘DON’T TAP THE GLASS’ as well as a 30-sec review of Alfredo 2 bookends this episode, following a breakdown of Keith Lee’s response to the conments made by queer folks on his weight loss journey and the weird & disrespectful way Rick Ross handled his appearance on the 85 South Show. 

Condolences to the families and loved ones of Malcolm Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan.

Metal Debate Album Review - Closure (Eldercall)

Styx was one of the very first rock bands that I had ever started listening to. They introduced me into the world of now classic rock, and this album, "Circling From Above" gave me a glimpse of what these classic rockers view as future rock! With this, their 18th studio album!

"Circling From Above" - Styx  2025 album review DIAGNOSIS

This month on The Sonic Collective, things got a little louder and a lot more divided. Our newest and youngest member, Owen Pearson, brought us Machine Gun Kelly’s 2020 album Tickets to My Downfall—a bold departure from the classic rock and older albums we often cover. Owen loved this album when it dropped, and he wanted to challenge the crew to revisit it and see if it holds up as a modern “classic.”

The results? Well, let’s just say sparks flew. Some of us heard a lot of Blink-182 in the mix (no surprise with Travis Barker behind the production), while others felt the whole thing leaned too polished and pop-driven to really be called punk. Still, a few of the old guard gave MGK credit for picking up guitars and drums over laptops and synths, steering closer to rock than much of today’s mainstream sound.

Love it or hate it, Tickets to My Downfall opened up a fresh conversation about what makes an album influential in today’s world. Is it raw energy? Is it radio appeal? Or is it simply connecting with a new generation of listeners? One thing’s for sure—Owen’s pick shook up the Collective, and we walked away with a better understanding of why MGK has such a passionate following.

So plug in, crank it up, and join us as we debate whether MGK’s pop-punk pivot deserves a spot in the canon of influential albums—or if it’s destined to be more pop than punk.
