We're branching out a bit this month with some new "scenes"...within the scene?! A little prog punk, a little post-hardcore, some emo, and The Flatliners' Cavalcade returning for another chance after landing in second place last month. Let's see what happens! 🤘🧐

This poll will be open through Saturday, November 22nd, and the winning album's episode will be posted on Monday, December 1st!

*Please remember that I'm only considering albums that contain songs I've previously covered on YouTube or Patreon. Requests have closed for this month, but will reopen on December 10th, 2025.

Drive Like Jehu full album reaction?!? That would be life-changing!

Chris J

I'm not invested enough in any of these albums to vote for any this month... but I want to see who's winning... guess I'll vote for saves the day then change my vote to whoever has the least votes. Edit: looks like no change needed, lol

ryan mcgrath

If they are Rx bandits album was the resignation it would have been very difficult for me to vote Flatliners.

prdinpdx

Tough one for me, but have a feeling it’ll come down to a fight between RX Bandits and The Flatliners, though that Rise Against record is beloved by very many. Hmm… decisions, decisions.

Mors Codefood

Wow, what a fantastic lineup this month! I've been waiting for RPM for a long time, but so many great choices as always

Ceej

Thank you for letting me not be the only one voting Saves the day. I know it’s got no chance of winning, but if I’m just going by albums, not bands, it’s my most desired reaction.

Kirk Souris

I want the bandits to win so bad. It's obviously gonna be a 2 horse race between the flats and rise against though. Flats it is, rise against is awful lol

Jay

No preference, looking forward to whatever wins. Mostly just waiting for Green Day "Dookie" and The Offspring "Smash" to come up for voting.

Ian

Stay What You Are is such an underrated bass album. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Alejandro Carrillo

I was going for Flatliners but then I saw RPM on the list. Not a fan of Rise Against these days but that album is so good.

Mac Thompson

Torn between the Flats and STD. Lots of nostalgia with STD but Flats are more my speed these days so going to have to go with Cavalcade. That’s the album that got me into them.

David Kostreba

let em hear the masterpiece that is Cavalcade already

Ceej
>>193758372

Really? Dookie over Kerplunk or Insomniac which are both better bass albums?

Aacc

Cavalcade is the one

Willtheworld

RX Bandits! Would love to see it but no chance it's happening

Ryan Balara

RPM and Stay What You Are are both in my top 10 punk/ pop punk albums of all time. I chose RPM, but only because I can't choose two.

Peter Del Villano

This is hard - I think Cavalcade deserves it, but I'm going splurge because it's my birthday and pick RPM because it's meant so much to me since I was 14.

judy

ok, these are all new to me, but i will say anything Mike D and Green Day do is golden with me, as is anything by Rancid(which i know has been covered here) or many others. always good to listen to new stuff.

Ceej
>>193766107

Stay what you are needs the love though. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just trying my hardest

Joe
>>193757562

Yeah unfortunately i don't think it has a chance in hell I'm happening unless we all buy an extra 20 ghost subs

Tim

I’ve lost interest in the sound direction Rise Against have gone but this album had everyone talking about them. Fast high energy riffs yet with catchy hooks through out. Their first 3 albums are all solid.

Jason Humphreys

Replace Rise Against with Born Against and I'll smash that poll

Joe

I moved my DLJ vote to The Flatliners to fend off Rise Against.

Andres

how is RX Bandits not winning?

PizzaTrav

Man there are so many good choices on this list. This one is really tough. Flats have the best all around record on here imo and cavalcade deserves to be listened to from front to back.

gcm85bcn

He obviously wants to do Cavalcade! It has my vote

Joseph Vitucci

Not to backpack off anyone else but yes: The Flatliners vs Rise Against is tough! I am sure Mark would enjoy both but I can see him gravitate more towards Cavalcade. There is no wrong answer between these two for me but I'm from Chicago and love 88 fingers louie and Rise Against's RPM is a classic. Somewhat biased. Gonna show my age here but remember Limewire, etc etc I downloaded the RPM demos, or bootlegs before I could get my hands on buying the release and knew right away this band was going places. Not to comment on - well I wish it was this album instead but, The Flatliners "The Great Awake" and RA's Sufferer and the witness would probably be even a harder choice. Either way I'm looking forward to this no matter who wins! But the Flatliners.....Just like that I still don't know!

Fuz Fuzlington

Simply because you can vote, doesn’t mean you’re alive - or Flats chance really lived. I really wanted to vote Flatliners this month… but RPM is goated.

Laurance

Rise against - revolutions per minute, is just an amazing album!

Andrew Rigney

It’s a shame there’s no Fugazi on here!

uncle patsy

Would love to see Drive Like Jehu, but looks to be a 2-way race, so may have to switch my vote to the Flatliners

uncle patsy
>>193786078

would be cool to see The Unraveling. Rise Against is one of those bands who had their best album right out the gate.

Heb

please for the love of everything holy lol do the flatliners. everyone, do the thing

prdinpdx

I’m going with “Cavalcade” because I like what Chris brings to HWM now, but admittedly I never got into Flatliners when they started getting talked about. Was way too buried in hardcore at the time, but I’ll give it a chance cause I know they don’t just do the ska-punk thing anymore. And yeah, just getting real, real bored of all the Fat Wreck coverage. Need a hefty break. I was going SDRE but it doesn’t stand a chance yet.

Poleon

YES my favorite Album of all time Rise Against RPM it has such a special place in my heart as it was the first album I ever fully listen to from track 1 to the last where I liked ALL of the songs and I don't find a single filler track and I wanted to show off this quote from this review from punknews of the album when it first came out "Hardcore without metal. Punk without pop. Emotion without the friggin' whining. While the band is clearly coming from a hardcore and punk background, it genuinely doesn't sound like anything I've heard. Many people have tried to blend punk and hardcore like this, but mostly we end up with the weakest bits of hardcore, and the weakest bits of punk, kind of mashed together. Instead, on "Revolutions..." we get an impressive sense of melody with a really visceral hardcore edge."

Card

And The Battle Begun is definitely the most interesting album here. An all time favorite.

Aacc

Love RPM ,but, cavalcade, I swear

Jean-Sébastien Cyr
>>193801138

100%. But agreee or disagree it’s way more « niche » and RPM will score way more nostalgia points, even for me. Can’t pick between the Bandits, RA or STD, so’ll I’ll vote for the runner-up to keep it close, so Flatliners at the moment

Cassidy

I’d love to see a full RxB album reaction, but right now Cavalcade needs to shine. C’mon yall. Let’s get in those votes for Cavalcade! It won album of the year ffs!

CM

I know that this community is biased for a certain type of music. I have that bias too. However, I just want to give a shout for Sunny's "Diary". It's not my style of music, but the album is musically very interesting. It was an incredibly influential album - vastly more than any other choice in this list. I'm still voting for Rise Against, but I just want Sunny to have some love as well.

Ryan Toohey

RPM is my favorite Rise Against record, but Calvacade is so much better and more interesting. Hope everyone comes through and votes for The Flatliners.

Ceej
>>193808115

Yes, I really hope Diary shows up on another poll soon.

Jean-Sébastien Cyr

Didn’t Mark say that if the second place lost by only a handful of votes he would have no choice but to do them both? Let’s keep it a tight race, people!

Rusty shackelford

Best rise against album and a classic skate punk album

Jeffrey Oja

Just do every Wilhelm Scream album and then we’ll get back to everything else 😜😂

Benjamin LEHRER

Rx Bandits is the most underrated band of all time!

D-Rock

Really wish Diary stood a chance. Such an amazing album by such a great band. Nate’s bass on that album is so good.

Gregory Etter

Make it a tie … let’s get both!! Everybody wins!!

CJ LoBaido

Another close one lol

Aacc

4 days. We can do this flat gang

Burns

Got my vote on the Bandits, planning on switching to the Flats if they need the vote. Tied at 33% as of this comment though! Maybe we'll get both Rise Against and Flatliners album reviews, AND I'll get to die on the hill that RXB is the best choice on the poll

Jonathon

Mark, I hope you don’t mind the unsolicited feedback, but after being a Patron for several months now I’ve noticed a trend with the polls for both song and full-album reactions, and I have an idea for how you can make potentially make them better: Would you consider experimenting with limiting the polls to a single genre instead of a collection of bands from several genres? The reason I think this could work better is because it’s clear that, on Patreon at least, your audience heavily favors the pop/melodic punk and ska genres, and bands that are either signed to or in the orbit of record labels like Epitaph and Fat Wreck Chords. And that’s totally ok—musical taste is subjective, and everyone can and should like what they like. But the result is that these bands *dominate* every poll they appear in. So when they’re pitted against bands from other genres, those other bands/genres just don’t stand a chance. But if you had polls separated by genre, other bands could win, and you could react to a more diverse range of genres. XTC is a good example: in your reaction you said that ‘Mayor of Simpleton’ had one of the best basslines you’ve ever heard. XTC have an immense catalog of great songs and albums you could react to that would blow your mind (and your audience’s) just as much or more than ‘Mayor’ did, but if they appeared in polls against even the least popular Epi/Fat band of all time, they wouldn’t stand a chance of winning. I mean, just look at the votes in this month’s poll as an example: there’s no way that Drive Like Jehu is going to win when they’re pitted against bands like The Flatliners or Rise Against. It’s so lopsided that it’s almost pointless to even include them in the poll at all. But if DLJ were in a poll with similar bands like Unwound, Slint, Big Black, and Jawbox, it’s anybody’s guess which band would win, but your audience would be the clear winners by having a real choice instead of the illusion of choice. Anyway, just my two cents. Curious what you think. Cheers!

Mitchell Hedden
>>194059872

He’s appealing to the patrons obviously. Why would he go out of his way to give us no choice for a band we actually like?

Ryan Toohey

I'm going to be ridiculously bummed if The Flatliners lose this. Calvacade was one of the defining albums of my college years.

Blake Barney
>>193800988

Jhc he’s done multiple Rise Against songs….there are SO many great punk bands. Why keep doing the same ones over and over???

Andrew Rosema

I think we need cavalcade and rpm album reviews this month ☠️

Jeff Harstead

Cavalcade on the rise! Time to switch over to the big 2! (Cavalcade, please)

The Metric Cowboy

But you're so close to how to clean everything. It's gonna confuse and blow your mind!
