How the metal and punk albums timeline works
The cards are heavy records: metal, punk and the hard rock around them, each with the band printed under the album title. You order them by year of release. Play opens with one album on the timeline and its year shown, and you slot each new card into whichever gap seems right. Call it correctly and the year comes up; wrong ones still put the album where it belongs but cost one of your three lives.
It covers the full family tree, from the first doom riffs and the early punk bands to the thrash, groove, nu metal, sludge and post-metal waves that followed, plus some recent hardcore. A few bands appear more than once, so knowing their run of albums pays off. Revivals make it hard: some newer bands deliberately chase an older sound, and some older ones sounded well ahead of their time.
