Max: Yeah, if this truly is the number 1 hit… There is a whole album under the same name, here it is.
Zhang: A whole album full of cowbell?
A close-up of the “Facial Blasting” album cover, showing what looks like an explosion hazard triangle sign, but then with the explosion emanating from a stylized face.
Zhang: Hmm, this does ring a bell…
Max: Yes, a cowbell.
Zhang: No, that's not what I mean.
Zhang: Somehow I get flash-backs to our Faceworld adventure.
Max: It did feature some blasting” of faces. But, doesn't that seem a bit far-fetched?
Zhang: Well, I guess it makes little sense indeed. There definitely was no cowbell involved.
