Welcome back to another warm-and-toasty Wednesday inside Studio Two — aka the only studio we’ve got until further notice. Adam and Mike power through the heat, the shadows, and Mike’s missing hat to break down a fun topic:Albums that should’ve been absolutely massive… but weren’t.🎧 What We CoveredStudio One is down for the count until January, so the guys are officially “cooped.”Adam calls out Make Yourself by Incubus — an album caught between genres, ahead of its time, and overshadowed by the new-metal wave of ’99.Why “Drive,” “Pardon Me,” and “I Miss You” didn’t translate into a monster album despite radio dominance and grocery-store rotation.How branding, timing, and early-era scene politics stunted what could’ve been an all-timer.Mike goes deep on Silence by Blindside — a record with massive hooks, proggy ideas, pristine production, and the perfect 2002 moment… that somehow still flew under the radar.Linkin Park tours, POD cosigns, Elektra Records backing — they had every advantage. So what happened?Revisiting standout tracks like “Caught a Glimpse,” “Sleepwalking,” and “The Endings” that hold up shockingly well today.A full nostalgia dive into Madden soundtracks, 5-disc CD changers, and the rotation of Linkin Park, Puff Daddy, Korn, 311, Better Than Ezra, Collective Soul, and Incubus classics.The guys wrap with one album that secretly shaped a generation and one album that never got its flowers.All this and more on Episode 48 of How It’s Related.Want more deep dives, nostalgia trips, and questionable opinions from two cousins who should probably be supervised?Subscribe on YouTube, drop a comment with the album you think deserved more love, and share the episode with a friend who still owns a five-disc changer.New episodes every Wednesday.#MusicPodcast #HowItsRelated #AlbumTalk #Incubus #Blindside #90sRock #2000sRock #UnderratedAlbums #Podcast #Cousins
