Asylum: Tales from the Devereaux Diaries: Recent Episodes
The Less Desirables Podcast Network
The Kousins and Roadie Ray each pick a KISS album. All four Kousins pick one song each to "Rip It Out" in two categories: a) a song from that album that without it would make it worse and b) a song from that album that without it would make it better. It's a varied collection of songs and a good conversation. All give their "now listening." Pick an album and take our test. What would you take out that would help and what would make it worse?

The Kousins and Roadie Ray review the film Detroit Rock City (1999) starring Edward Furlong, Giuseppe Andrews, Sam Huntington, James DeBello, KISS, and other various actors. Was it great? Absolutely not. Did it suck? That's the debate. Roadie Ray and Kousin Gary go off on a certain podcast host. All give their "now listening." A call from Eugene B. Sims from Wheeler's Dog Podcast. What do you think of this "film?" Let us know by calling the TLDNetwork (KUZZ Army) hotline and leaving a message for the Kousins at 336-422-NUMB (6862). You can also see it on our YouTube channel.

The Kousins and Roadie Ray listen to the fifth album from Accept, Balls to the Wall (1983). Accept opened for KISS on the Lick It Up tour. It was the first metal show that Roadie Ray saw. Spoiler: He loves this album. How did the Kousins feel about it? Well, you have to listen, duh. Have you heard it? Did you like it?

The Kousins and Roadie Ray watched the Penelope Spheeris documentary, Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years. They debate whether or not it held up, the state of the music biz in LA in 1987/1988, the reality that hit the musicians not long after the film, the good, the bad, and the (very) ugly. Have you seen it? What are your thoughts on the documentary as a whole? Let us know by calling the TLDNetwork (KUZZ Army) hotline and leaving a message for the Kousins at 336-422-NUMB (6862).

The Kousins and Roadie Ray hold another Asylum Album Throwdown. Kousin Gary assigned the Kousins to take two non-makeup, ten-song albums, Lick It Up from 1983 and Asylum from 1985, and pit them against each other. The Kousins went track-by-track; #1 vs #1, #2 vs #2, etc. It was a fun exercise and The Kousins had their first tie, which will be decided by the Twitterverse. How would your showdown look track-by-track? Let us know by calling the TLDNetwork (KUZZ Army) hotline and leaving a message for the Kousins at 336-422-NUMB (6862).

The Kousins and Roadie Ray hold the first Asylum Album Throwdown. Kousin Tim assigned the Kousins to take two post-Ace Frehley, nine-song, two-plus different guitarist albums, Creatures of the Night from 1982 and Animalize from 1984, and pit them against each other. The Kousins went track-by-track; #1 vs #1, #2 vs #2, etc. It was a fun exercise and Uncle/Kousin Stevie "broke the ties" even though there were no ties to break. We don't know how seriously he took the assignment, really. How would your showdown look track-by-track?

The Kousins (minus Kousin Marvin) and Roadie Ray welcome Eugene B. Sims from Wheeler's Dog Podcast in to talk about one of his favorite albums from one of his favorite bands, Cheap Trick's "One on One" from 1982. Eugene offers stories, trivia, and a guided tour through the album itself. Not all of the Kousins liked it, though. Any guesses as to which one(s)?

The Kousins and Roadie Ray talk about the 45th anniversary (June 30) of the sixth studio album, Love Gun. Also, Ray gives us his KISS album ranking from #32 to #1. All four Kousins dig this record.

The Kousins and Roadie Ray do their next "Album Draft." The rules, each Kousin ("Honorary" or real) gets to pick one song from each album from Lick It Up through Monster, so the non-makeup and reapplied makeup years. Once that song is picked, no one else can pick it. Whatever you pick, neutralizes that album for you. Then, once all ten songs were selected per Kousin, they put their albums in track order. That will be posted on Twitter. What would be your one song from each of these albums?

The Kousins and Roadie Ray talk about Scorpions' magnus opus, "Love At First Sting" (1984). It was quintessential "early- to mid-80s heavy metal." The tones, the songs, the bass lines, the whisperingly-powerful voice of Klaus Meine, the MTV rotation. All of it. Did you like it in 1984? Have you listened to it in a while? Does it still hold up?

The Kousins and Roadie Ray rank all 24 Studio Albums' Track #2. From the self-titled debut through Monster, the second track of each is up for dissection and scrutiny. Nick calls in as does Uncle Steve. Some entries baffle the other Kousins. There were a couple that were agreed upon by at least two Kousins but the lists were diverse. There is debate and discourse. What's your favorite Track #2 on all the albums? How would you rank them? Let us know by calling the TLDNetwork (KUZZ Army) hotline and leaving a message for the Kousins at 336-422-NUMB (6862).

The Kousins and Roadie Ray welcome Uncle Steve from Uncle Steve's Iron Maiden Zone where we talk a little bit of Maiden, a whole lot of KISS and we give KISS's second album, Hotter Than Hell, the Listening Party Treatment. Production is shoddy for that album, but the Kousins and Uncle Steve are divided on whether that lends to the charm or not. Check out Uncle Steve's Iron Maiden Zone anywhere you listen to podcasts. How do you feel about Hotter Than Hell and how do you feel about Iron Maiden? Let us know by calling the TLDNetwork (KUZZ Army) hotline and leaving a message for the Kousins at 336-422-NUMB (6862).

The Kousins and Roadie Ray talk about Queensryche's fifth album, Promised Land. It was the first after the uber-successful Empire and was a bit different from their past, but still quite firmly planted in the band's history. Kousin Tim and Roadie Ray totally geek out on it and Kousin Gary shows his musical appreciation. Kousin Marvin hated it going in. How does he feel now? How do you feel about it? Do you like it?

The Kousins and Roadie Ray talk about KISS before they were ever KISS. It's Wicked Lester time and it gets the "Listening Party" treatment. Wicked Lester is not everyone's cup of tea and it had to grow on Ray but the Kousins seemed to dig it. Have you heard it? What did you think?

The Kousins and Roadie Ray (he kept the position just reverted the name) do an Opening Act show, being the first podcast of the month (yes it's still March but the last day): "Whitesnake ('87)." It gets the "Listening Party" treatment and Kousin Gary gives you more info about John Sykes (the guitarist on the album) than you'd ever want to know. He crushed so hard we think John Corabi is getting jealous. Also, the Kousins+1 give what they've been listening to this week for your consideration. What do you think of the Whitesnake album?

The Kousins and Road Manager Ray talk about KISS' third studio album, the one that possibly set the band up to continue as it was the tour that led to Alive! which is the one that gave the world Rock and Roll All Nite. The album gets the "Listening Party" treatment. Kousin Tim has never been shy about his disdain for the album in general but loves a few songs. Have his tastes changed? Does he feel different about it? Also, the Kousins+1 give what they've been listening to this week for your consideration.

The Kousins surprise Road Manager Ray and ask him to be a permanent co-host on the show. Then there's the Destroyer album given the "Listening Party" treatment. We go through the album and give our opinions, facts, and figures on it. All the Kousins and RMR talk about their "now listening" tunes and why.

The Kousins bring a new monthly series to the Asylum: The Opening Act. KISS has had a lot of big-name acts open for them on their own road to stardom. We want to highlight some of those. The inaugural chapter of this is one of the first bands to open for KISS, on and off, 1974-1976. We dive into Rush's 1981 album, "Moving Pictures" which celebrated its 41st anniversary in February. We give it the "listening party" treatment and the only regret that we had was that Roadie Ray wasn't with us. Listen in for our critique. How does Rush's "Moving Pictures" rate with you?

The Kousins listen to the album that is the namesake of the podcast, 1985's Klassic, "Asylum." Of course, it features the Kousins' favorite KISS lineup (collectively) with Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr, has what Kousin Tim calls two of KISS' best songs, makeup era or non-makeup era, and we dive a little deeper checking out things we may not have known the first time we listened to it.

The Kousins are joined by Road Manager Ray (catchy new name, there) and revisit the 1989 Klassic(?) "Hot in the Shade." Kousin Tim ranked it pretty low on his list, Kousin Marvin and Kousin Gary rank it respectably and Road Manager Ray, really liked it. How did their feelings change after the initial rankings and how do they feel about the songs? Kousin Tim has a Kissfession. How do you feel about Hot in the Shade?

The Kousins listen to their own curated compilation of songs they think should have been released as singles but were not. Some would have been cool to have been singles but some are just plain shameful that they were not. The rule is it couldn't have been released as a single, but B-Sides are okay. Also, Roadie Ray news. What "deep-cut" KISS songs would you like to see released?

The Kousins listen to selected songs from the 2021 KISS Kruise X with Bruce Kulick's band doing all (well almost all) non-makeup KISS songs.

The Kousins talk about Bruce Kulick and John Corabi's project after both were kicked out of their big-name bands, Union. Specifically, we talk about the debut, self-titled album.

The Kousins talk about the first of the KISS Family Tree albums we'll get to, the Vinnie Vincent Invasion. We talk about "Invasion" and "All Systems Go."

The Kousins talk about the thirteenth KISS album and the one that gave us our name, "Asylum." A much maligned and dismissed album due to its glammy and glitzy album cover, colorful videos, and the fact that it was from 1985, the album is better than it's usually given credit for. One of the Kousins thinks that this album contains the best non-makeup song and the best guitar solo of ANY KISS song. Which one? Ping that "Radar For Love" and stop being "Secretly Cruel." Give a listen to hear which songs are worthy of being called "King of the Mountain." This is the last KISS album proper for the Kousins to review, although they have a lot more to talk about.

The Kousins talk about the one that started it all. The self-titled debut, "KISS." Eight of its seven songs were represented on "Alive!" Several are still concert staples. So much passion. So much hunger. The album kicks ass and doesn't even bother to take names. Is it a "Strutter?" A "Black Diamond" in the rough? Or does it make you need to have a few shots of "Cold Gin?" We finally get the reveal of what Marvin's number 1 KISS album is. Call the TLDNetwork hotline and leave a message for the Kousins at 336-422-NUMB (6862).

The Kousins talk about the symphonic KISS live album, "Symphony- Alive IV." It is the curtain call for Peter in the band, even though it was his third pass through. At times it is bombastic, subtle, cool. There are a few tunes that we hadn't gotten live either in a while or ever. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Melbourne Children's Choir helped fill the aural plane. A decent live album, but where did it rank with the Kousins?

The Kousins talk about the very first KISS live album, "Alive!" This could arguably be called KISS' most important album. Without the success of "Rock and Roll All Nite" and this album in general, Casablanca Records and most likely the band would have ceased to exist. It's powerful. It's bombastic.

The Kousins talk about the KISS's sixteenth studio album, "Revenge." It was produced by Bob Ezrin, who at this point wasn't coked out. KISS was righting the ship that had veered a bit, especially after the loss of their backbone, Eric Carr. It was heavy, a precursor of the album that would follow. It's "Unholy." Do you dig it?

The album is totally misunderstood and had it not been for a sneaky leak, it may never have seen the light of day. It's hard, very hard. It's heavy, like tons. Is it a KISS album in name only?

The Kousins talk about the sixth studio album from KISS, "Love Gun." And it's a long one. We talk about the songs, where they fall in our lists, how we feel, break down the instruments and geek out a little. We're just "Hooligans" and some will say we're "Almost Human."

The Kousins talk about KISS' fifteenth album, "Hot In The Shade." The Kousins had been out a week for vacation but are back and talking about what some may call a great album, some may call a throwaway, some may just say 'meh.' "HITS" has the first original lead vocal from Eric Carr, but it's also his last real album appearance before his death in 1991. So, for you, did the album "Rise To It?" Don't "Hide Your Heart."

The Kousins talk about KISS' ninth and most controversial studio album, "Music From 'The Elder'." The Kousins do a critique of Side B, song by song. What did they like? Who was playing what, where was the story going and what could have been left off, if anything. Eugene calls the TLD Network hotline. How did Tim do with Mr. Speed's Trivia? This album was certainly an "Odyssey" and if you don't like it, then it's "Only You."

The Kousins talk about the 1974 sophomore effort from the band, "Hotter Than Hell." They talk about the horrible production over what is otherwise a very solid track listing. What would they leave off, what would you leave off? Gary and Marvin throw hard questions at Tim in Mr. Speed's Trivia. Just what does that symbol on the cover mean? Why not "Mainline" this from your streaming service. We're "Watchin' You."

The Kousins talk about the 1977 bombastic "live" Klassic, "KISS Alive II." They talk track listing, the era that the album represents, the age-old live vs overdubbed debate and Gary and Marvin throw hard questions at Tim in Mr. Speed's Trivia. Plus... why not five more "live" tracks? Why not another studio album after "Alive II?" Sometimes, we guess you can't get it "Any Way You Want It."

On our almost inaugural podcast the gang discusses the 1987 release, "Crazy Nights."

While Tim answers who were the Dudes of Wraith? What did the Army think about this release? Was it your Reason to Live or were you screaming No, No, No?
