In a first for the Kousins, two completely KISS-free albums are being thrown into the ring for an "Album Gladiator Showdown."



This time, it is Judas Priest vs. Judas Priest. Screaming for Vengeance (1982) vs. Defenders of the Faith (1984).



Kousin Marvin defends Vengeance, while Kousin Ray defends Defenders.



To reiterate the rules: After a coin flip, the winner can either go first or defer their pick. The first picker chooses their "gladiator" or song for battle. After a short listen, the opposing picker chooses the song (or gladiator) to battle the round's opening song. The other two Kousins then vote for the winner. The two pickers can change their vote if they choose to, as well. Whichever song has the most votes... wins. If there's a tie, it goes to Twitter (or "X" as it's known now) for tiebreaker votes. If that doesn't make sense, just give a listen and it will become as clear as mud.



All four Kousins gave their "Now Listenings." Kousin Marvin gave the "Let Me Know."



A call from Jem From Alabama and a "new" caller, Jim From Irwin (that's in Pennsylvania, by the way). And, Carlos sent in a text to the KUZZ Army Hotline.



Would you pick Screaming for Vengeance or Defenders of the Faith?
