Episodes

Clutch - Blast Tyrant

Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that Brad and Josh can review the 2004 release from Clutch on this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast. The name of the album is Blast Tyrant, or Blast Tyrant Atlas of the Invisible World with Illustrations of Strange Beasts and Phantoms. And, I think that's about all I have to say about that for you to have an idea of where this is heading. Tune in, space out, and rock on.

Zao - The Funeral of God

Bring out yer dead. Bring out yer dead. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, there aren't any Monty Python references. But what we do have, is a review of Zao's, The Funeral of God album. If you haven't heard of Zao, there's a lot here to dive into. We got a concept, we got music, we probably have dumb banter. Check it out and get ready to kiss your knees goodbye!

Jimmy Eat World - Futures

If someone can get past, can they also get...future? That's another show, I'm sure. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are taking a listen to Jimmy Eat World's Futures album. We were both surprised to find out that it didn't have The Middle OR Sweetness on it. Let's find out if it was a pleasant surprise.

Into Eternity - Buried in Oblivion

Where do you want to be buried? I'd say one of the last places is in Oblivion. Luckily, this week's artist has not, in fact, been Buried in Oblivion. It is, however, the name of the album we're reviewing on this week's episode of Two Decades Too Late. The artist is Into Eternity and their 2004 album is a solid showing. Let's dive on in and find out where it falls in the annals of metal offerings from back in the day.

Q2 Jam Session

Peanut butter?! Already did that. We've got another jam session for you! This time, it's Dead To Fall - Villainy & Virtue, Necrophagist - Epitaph, Sugarcult - Palm Trees and Power Lines, and Anterrabae - Shakedown Tonight. These are some great albums, important albums, very nice albums, albums you could bring home to your mother. Let's see what Brad and Josh have to say on this week's episode of Two Decades Too Late. If I'm honest, it's probably got something to do with American Dad!

The Haunted - rEVOLVEr

Somebody made us do it. This week, Brad and Josh are taking a dive into rEVOLVEr from The Haunted. These dudes wrote the book on pretty much everything we listened to in 2004 and even before that when most of them were in At The Gates. At the time, this was as good as it got for melodic death metal. Let's see if it's still scary good or if we'll be tormented by the ghosts of our pasts.

Senses Fail - Let It Enfold You

This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are letting things unfold. Letting themselves unfold? Letting the episode enfold us? Folds are happening because we're taking a listen to Let It Enfold You from Senses Fail. If you had a pulse in 2004, you've no doubt heard of these folks. Does the music stand the test of time? We'll use our failing senses (because we're old) to find out.

Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns

Duh. Duh duh. Dah. DUH! IYKYK. This week, Brad and Josh are reviewing Fate of Norns from Amon Amarth. If you're a fan of the band, you probably know this album. If you haven't heard this album, but you've heard another Amon Amarth album, you've heard this album. We're going back 20 years and dusting this off to see if it still holds sway. SKÅL!

Eagles of Death Metal - Peace Love Death Metal

Hoh. Huh! Hoo! Toot scoot on over to the Two Decades Too Late podcast where this week Brad and Josh are reviewing one of the albums that doesn't fall into the "mostly metal for whatever that's worth," category. It's Peace Love Death Metal from Eagles of Death Metal. In 2004, this one was a particular favorite of ours. Will it stand the test of time? Does it still give us wiggles? Will still make our rumps shake? Come find out.

Misery Signals - Of Malice and the Magnum Heart

This week, Brad and Josh explore the value of an ampersand and discuss its use in some situations versus others.

There's a lot to unpack here as Josh's nostalgia filter stands the test of time. Tune in and find out if this is a perfect album!

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine

What do an infamous bank robber and a female robot have in common? This album. And those two seemingly disparate things are actually more indicative of The Dillinger Escape Plan's, Miss Machine than you could readily image. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh try to dismantle this gargantuan piece of musical theatre. There's a lot to love here and we enjoy picking apart everything it has to offer.

Terror - One With the Underdogs

A band so angry they apparently had to tie up Uncle Fester? Sign. Us. Up. Time to throw on some camo shorts because TDTL dives in to the ever pummeling One With the Underdogs (or scum of the wonder frogs, to some) by Terror.

Alexisonfire - Watch Out!

Just to clear the air, it's pronounced Alexis on fire. I didn't know that until I started researching for this episode. Maybe all of you did. This week, we're learning about that, and the band as a whole while we review Watch Out!, on this week's episode of Two Decades Too Late.

Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Collision Course

If there's anything that screams 2004 more than Jay-Z and/or Linkin Park, it might be mash-ups. This week, Brad and Josh are reviewing Collision Course, the mash-up collaboration between two of the most well-known artists of the early 2000's. This has potential to go very badly. Tune in and find out if it does.
