Ray and Steve are back with a brand-new episode! This time they’re stepping outside the traditional Queensrÿche catalog to dive headfirst into Todd La Torre’s bone-crushing 2021 solo debut LP, Rejoice in the Suffering. Packed with relentless riffs, blistering vocals, and zero compromises, this album shows a whole different side of Todd. With a major assist from lifelong friend Craig Blackwell, the big question is: Does it hit as hard as it promises?

The guys go track-by-track through Rejoice in the Suffering, ranking their favorite (and least favorite) songs and breaking down just how heavy things get. Along the way, they compare it to Todd’s work in Queensrÿche, the influences heard throughout, and explore where this album fits in the broader metal landscape. What follows is a high-energy, opinion-filled discussion with plenty of strong takes, maybe even a few disagreements, and a discussion of why Craig Blackwell is not a household name in the world of metal guitarists! They also spend time digging into listener feedback from recent episodes.
