Off The Flipside

One of the most well known modern heavy metal acts, Slipknot, released their most personal, darkest, and heaviest record of their career when the nu metal genre was on it's last legs with "IOWA." Today, fellow musician from Tampa, David Rumford, joins me as we chat about the record track by track!

In this episode, I tackle one of the most well known records of the nineties from British rock band, Blur! "PARKLIFE" showcases the group at their finest but considering the album is more than two decades old, how well does it hold up?

It's no secret that the eponymous quartet of Led Zeppelin's earlier records are some of the finest works in rock history, but the third has always been labeled as the experimental underdog. Receiving lukewarm reception upon release, "LED ZEPPELIN III" has always been labeled as a cult classic. On this episode, I take a look back on the album and it's tracks to see why fans (including myself) remember it in such a unique way!

Over the dreadnought of a year that was 2020, fans of virtual band, Gorillaz were blessed with one of the band's greatest albums in a decade with the start of an ongoing series known as "SONG MACHINE." On this episode, recurring guest Jacob Mohler joins me in a track by track analysis of the newly released first installment of this critically acclaimed series!

Today on the show, my good friend, Jasmyne Siss introduces me to a incredibly diverse album that even got it's own Netflix anime film that's known as "SOUND AND FURY" by Sturgill Simpson! Tune in to hear our track by track discussion!

Not too long after the start of the new millennium, the nu metal genre was fading out of popularity. One of the genre's most well known acts, Korn, pulled out all of their punches on 2002's "UNTOUCHABLES." Today, I bring special guest David Sinsabaugh along to reflect on one of the band's most critically acclaimed records.

Many music fans despise change and it's no secret that sometimes bands turn to the worst once they change up their formula. However, Supertramp's massively successful 1979 effort, "BREAKFAST IN AMERICA" only challenged that theory as the band headed into a more poppy direction compared to their progressive roots. In this episode, I look back on the impact that this record had on both the mainstream and the band's previous audience.

Happy Halloween 2020! This is the first day I've ever uploaded two episodes in the same day and I the perfect way to close out the day is with a Halloween special featuring returning guest, artist Ashley Olsen! today, we're tackling one of the heaviest albums of the nineties by one of the most popular metal bands of the decade, that of being Pantera with 1996's "THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL!"

In a time where thrash and heavy metal bands were targeting different styles, Slayer kept things safe on 1994's "DIVINE INTERVENTION." These days, it's often passed aside compared to some of Slayer's earlier works. Could the album not escape the confusing rabbit hole of the nineties or was it playing too safe?

Only a band as strange as Primus can describe themselves through their own genre and today, I bring along special guest and fellow musician, Miguel Torres to check out and look back on one of the band's greatest achievements with "SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE!"
