This is the audio-only version for the old school soldiers. The Cacophony Sessions Podcast returns to dive deep into our favourite records of 2024! Featuring Dan Whitell's returning ragtag band of cohorts Jim, Martyn and Tom this year, please enjoy this year's definitive channel list from a year that some were more enthusiastic about than others. All albums were scored out of ten to one decimal point, and naturally the scores presented are the collective scores from all of us combined. ...

S4E07 - Album of the Year 2023
Late as ever (it's still February... just) following a technological catastrophe The Cacophony Sessions presents the season four finale, and the closing episode of the regular podcast.
Join Dan Whitell and his regular band of bastards Alex, Martyn, Tom and Jim as we finally deliver our top ten albums of 2023!
Featuring the biggest Does It Slap ever, a lovely story about corner shops and a heavy dose of swearing; the final regular episode is one of our strongest. We will continue the chaos on the YouTube channel, as old favourite episodes like The Cacophony Sessions Goes Pop will be shortened and sharpened to deliver more regular content.
AOTY will be back for 2024 but in the mean time please follow us on social media, keep your eyes on www.cacophonysessions.com for the latest video drops and consider subscribing to the Patreon!

S4E06 - Shredder's Revenge, or: Just Axin' Questions
#music #podcast #guitarsolo
The Cacophony Sessions are back with their thoughts on greatest guitar solos of all time. Joining Dan Whitell on this episode are Alex, Tom and Martyn; each with two pics for a discussion on what makes a guitar solo work - and what doesn't. The playlist containing all of our picks (including Dan B's and Jim's in spite of their absence from this episode) can be found on Apple Music and Spotify:
https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/shredders-revenge-or-just-axin-questions/pl.u-xlyNBoltkJxKX8 (https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/shredders-revenge-or-just-axin-questions/pl.u-xlyNBoltkJxKX8)
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Vg5tA1SbXXB6HWNImQL7L (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Vg5tA1SbXXB6HWNImQL7L)
In this episode we spend a good thirty minutes or so going through some of the comments we've had on the subject as well, meaning that we cover a lot of different songs in this one. Also discover the two reasons Tom hates guitar solos (feat. science), Alex's latest band name, Baphomet's penchant for gran turismo, carnival metal and one of us channels our inner Dennis Reynolds.
From this point on, all of our episodes will be available for free in full on both audio platforms and the YouTube channel. If you are interested in supporting our Patreon we will now be making monthly Q&A videos so sign up to have your questions answered by a member of the Cacophony Sessions team! As always, make sure you follow us on social media, and please like and subscribe to keep this Cac train rolling.
Thanks for watching, see you in December for our overrated episode!
