It's the first time that Bryan & John have been forced to tackle a band that isn't a nu-metal band, but greatly influenced a vast majority of the bands we've covered on this show. Named the Most Influential Album of All-Time by Kerrang! in 2003 (a list we investigate...it has some holes), it's easy to see how many bands of the nu-metal era were inspired by this record, even if they really didn't want to be seen as the progenitors of the genre. We get into the weirdness of Mike Patton, some of the more bizarre musical elements, and Bryan is blown away by the covers on the record. And just to ease a lot of listeners' concerns...we didn't hate it.
If you want some more stuff you won't hate, donate to the show at patreon.com/thepodkast, where $4/month gets you THREE bonuses every month. You'll get two mini-reviews of nu-metal singles and one full-length bonus episode, including last month's bonus episode where HolidayKirk joined us to discuss French nu-metal stalwarts Pleymo. And of course you can't get access to our famous Zoom live shows without being a patron, and our next one is coming up March 21st, as we are gonna review a series of anime music videos with the Art & Labor podcast. So don't delay!
