THUNDER ARE BACK WITH A DOUBLE ALBUM
Thunder is if nothing else consistent. They are a band that should have been much bigger around the world. Akin to what they are in the UK, headlining arenas, festivals, and the such. You can argue that they came along too late, broke up too soon, or for a million other reasons. But to their fans, they’ve been delivering the goods for 35 years.
Dopamine is a double album. It is full of twists and turns, peaks and valleys, and takes you on a musical journey. It reminds me of albums I listened to growing up. Albums that didn’t just have one single, or where a single, a B, C, and D version of that single. When you think you knew all of the answers to Dopamine, Thunder changes the questions. No two songs sound similar.
Sure it sounds like Thunder, they didn’t all of a sudden become a boy band. But they mix all types of hard rock throughout the album to continue to show why they’re one of Britain’s best-kept secrets.
If you’ve never heard the band before, Dopamine may be a good introduction to Thunder. If you’re a long-time fan, you’re checking this album out because they’ve hardly if ever let you down in the past.
Here is Thunder with the track "The Western Sky" off of their latest album Dopamine.

TUESDAYS ON SIGNALS FROM MARS
Signals From Mars Trivia Tuesday on Twitch is a new show where, as you might suspect, I throw out a bunch of hard rock and metal trivia questions to the audience.
Last week’s game came down to the very last question, with the winner taking away a $5 discount from the Mars Attacks Podcast Merch store. Will tonight bring a new champ?
Not only do you need to know the correct answer, but you also need to be the quickest to answer correctly. The faster you answer, the more points you obtain. But answer wrong, and you’ll lose points.
What to join in on the action, or watch and hang out in the chat? Go here to do so.
