#339 A TRILOGY OF PERFECT METAL ALBUMS

“That’s the buzz word: every time somebody says, ‘tipping point’, you must drink…”

Whether it’s measured by a string of commercially successful albums or one’s own personal preference, almost every metal band has (at a minimum) produced a TRILOGY of albums that represent a three-album run of back-to-back-to-back awesomeness.

“That’s the law, man…it’s gotta be three…rules is rules.”

Granted, we’re all very well aware that some bands have far exceeded such a phenomenal feat THRICE in a row. But to keep things fair, we limited our parameters to the perfect TRIFECTA of albums representing a band’s turkey, hat trick, or as we refer to it here at Bunkerpoon Palace, “the power threesome of perfection”.

“It’s a quadraplatic-ogy…”

When in doubt, remember that “y’all should be more like Paul” and keep in mind that you “can’t say that word!” because “all therapists are gonna be upset”.

Go ahead and fire up your “Grinder Tinder” account, discover the wonders of “self-service hibachi”, and get ready to “Ride the Puppets of Justice” when you JOIN US for A TRILOGY OF PERFECT METAL ALBUMS.
