  • "15" by Buckcherry, or Discovering Josh Todd

    October 5, 2026 · 1 hr 54 min

    Is Buckcherry nu-metal? No. Are they even nu-metal-adjacent? Not really. Lead singer Josh Todd was really close to being in Velvet Revolver and that's a lot of what this album feels like: slightly elevated "bar band" music that got popular…

  • Papa Roach's "Lovehatetragedy", or An Album Too Soon

    September 4, 2026 · 2 hr 7 min

    Papa Roach make it very clear that they were not interested in riding the nu-metal wave after the massive success that was their previous album, "Infest". Unfortunately for them, it was only 2002. Nu-metal wasn't completely dead yet, and…

  • Eminem's "The Slim Shady LP", or Hip-Hop's Most Nu-Metal Album

    August 6, 2026 · 2 hr 20 min

    Yes, there were more bald-faced attempts made by hip-hop artists to join the nu-metal wave, whether it was on the soundtrack that arguably started nu-metal (Judgment Night), whether it was guesting on a track with a nu-metal artist (Ice…

  • TRUSTcompany's "The Lonely Position of Neutral", or the Softest Album We've Covered (complimentary) (also derogatory)

    July 11, 2026 · 1 hr 46 min

    John finally snares his white whale as he promised not to listen to this full album despite loving "Downfall" for two decades until it won a Poll. It won a Poll, and surprise surprise, he loves it. Bryan, however, does not. Ultimately we…

  • Limp Bizkit's "Results May Vary", or Fred's Worst

    June 5, 2026 · 1 hr 52 min

    How do you follow up selling roughly 16m copies of each of your last two records while dealing with your guitarist leaving the band and nu-metal collapsing? You release whatever this is, Limp Bizkit's 4th studio album and easily their…

  • Creed's "My Own Prison", or Album Title Directly Explains Feelings of Podcasters During Episode

    May 5, 2026 · 2 hr 4 min

    Is Creed nu-metal? Probably not. But it didn't stop them from putting out what is either a post-grunge album three years too late or a buttrock album about five years too early. Yes, this album somehow came out in 1997 (a fact so…

  • Korn's "Issues", or Following Follow the Leader

    April 7, 2026 · 2 hr 18 min

    We've covered four of Korn's "Big Five" album run from 1994-2002, and only one remained, the one that might arguably be their best: "Issues". Jonathan Davis gets sober and decides that Korn should be the new Led Zeppelin, and by that he…

  • Uncle Kracker's "Double Wide", or Kid Rock's Rib

    March 5, 2026 · 2 hr 1 min

    We think the story goes thusly: Kid Rock has some success in circles he did not expect (like Adult Pop radio) with "Only God Knows Why". He also has a lot of success with more nu-metal offerings like "Bawitdaba" and "Cowboy". He knows he…

  • Fear Factory's "Obsolete", or Getting the Story Straight

    February 5, 2026 · 1 hr 57 min

    We dive into Fear Factory for the first time ever on the pod, and this is a concept album: just ask the band members. Or maybe only ask one of them, because if you compare all of their answers, no one is *really* sure what this album is…

  • Spineshank's "Strictly Diesel", or Searching for a Single

    January 6, 2026 · 2 hr 6 min

    After literal years of trying, one of Bryan's most beloved nu-metal albums, "Strictly Diesel", gets the P.O.D. Kast treatment, and it's probably no surprise that he still loves it...but John loves it too. A true testament of the era, it…

  • The Prodigy's "The Fat of the Land", or Light Shoulders, Light Pelvis

    December 4, 2025 · 2 hr 12 min

    Bryan goes all the way back to 1997 and relives a lot of his friends and himself grappling with the fact that this dance music was hitting very hard but at the end of the day, was still dance music. John, on the other hand, only knew The…

  • Hoobastank's "The Reason", or When We Learned Hoobastank Might Be Canadian

    November 6, 2025 · 1 hr 54 min

    Last time we covered a Hoobastank album, we learned of the conspiracy theory that they might be the feds. This time, we're wondering if they're Canadian because they seem like very nice, normal, well-adjusted guys, and the lead singer's…

More than just the music, the podcast really digs into the vibes of the time from two guys who lived it, and never stopped thinking nu-metal was good. Probably because it really, really is.
