Riffology: Iconic Rock Albums Podcast

Welcome to Riffology, where a GenX and a Millennial talk about the albums from their youth. Itโ€™s more fun than it soundsโ€ฆ

RIFF063 – Anthrax – Persistence of Time
byRiffology

We open with a supply-chain crisis of the highest order: no Coke Zero and no red-and-black Fruit Pastels (โ€œit was an absolute disasterโ€). Then we actually talk Anthraxโ€™s Persistence of Time: why it feels more grown-up and gnarlier, how โ€œIn My Worldโ€ and โ€œGot the Timeโ€ carried the weight, and why Joey Belladonna sounds even better under a harsher spotlight.

Detours include a burglary story where several PDAs and a relic Toshiba went missingโ€ฆ discovered days later (โ€œdid you have anything stolen?โ€ โ€œNoโ€ฆ actually Iโ€™ve lost like three PDAsโ€), and the glorious chaos of Marriedโ€ฆ with Children: My Dinner with Anthraxโ€”โ€œvery funnyโ€ฆ not very PC.โ€ We discuss our local tourist attraction the Barry Milner Bridge.

Come for the album, stay for the fruit pastilles drama and the unsolicited detours into life, the universe and everything.
