I was probably, you know, so those three records were real kind of within a few years of each other.

It's called Can't Stop Rockin'.

You know, 'cause they come in with Tejas, and El Loco, and then Eliminator.
Ray KoobHOST
And, uh, the next one, Afterburner, was still solid.
Ray KoobHOST
Still solid.
Ray KoobHOST
And even, I mean, they jokingly called the next one Recycler, you know, after a three-year break.
Ray KoobHOST
They took off five years between Afterburner and Recycler, so that's three albums in nine years.
Ray KoobHOST
Who the fuck they think they are, Tool?
Marcus GoldmanHOST
[laughs] They're actually more productive than Tool.
Ray KoobHOST
But they went on a real tear, though, you know, because they come in with Degueyo and El Loco and then Eliminator.
Ray KoobHOST
And the next one, Afterburner, was still solid, still solid.
Ray KoobHOST
And even, I mean, they jokingly called the next one Recycler, you know, after a three-year break.

They took off five years between Afterburner and Recycler.
