Episode 59: N.E.R.D.'s "In Search Of..." or Finding Meaning in Horniness 2:00:33

3d ago2:00:33

2:00:33

An album that was seminal for John and one he had tried to get on the show forever, we take a long look at N.E.R.D.'s debut album "In Search Of...", an album that is as horny as it is confusing. The Neptunes were on an insane run in this time period, and so stepping away from that to make a nu-metal-adjacent rap-rock album with a high school friend…

Episode 58: System of a Down's "System of a Down", or SUGAHHHHHH, Doot Doo, Da Doo Doo, Doot Doot 1:49:52

1M ago1:49:52

1:49:52

It took over 4 years, but we are finally reviewing System of a Down again on this program and doing what a lot of people did after hearing "Toxicity": looking backwards at this odd album that follows SOAD's usual formula of a few clear hits and a lot of strange, strange songs. Toxicity having the success it did was strange, but this album going dou…

Episode 57: Trapt's "Trapt", or Feeling Trapt in a Glass Case of Soft Music 1:40:36

2M ago1:40:36

1:40:36

It was always going to come down to this. A band that got absolutely massive off of their early single "Headstrong" and has since begun a long, downward spiral into being a band that plays 100-cap venues in towns you've never heard of and exclusively advertises tours on Truth Social, Trapt is here on the POD Kast for the first time. We go over the …

Episode 56: Stone Sour's "Stone Sour", or How Corey Taylor Became the Omega Dog 2:04:30

3M ago2:04:30

2:04:30

It's one of our longest episodes ever, but we simply had to do it, as there's too much here to process, even with a 2-hour running time. A complicated departure from their work in Slipknot, Corey Taylor and Jim Root set out to have their own thing that doesn't sound all that different from Slipknot and we still aren't quite sure why it happened. Bu…

Episode 55: Soulfly's "Soulfly", or the Plastic "Oh No!" Band 1:46:11

4M ago1:46:11

1:46:11

After being in SEVEN Polls, Soulfly finally get their day in the sun, and not a moment too soon as we dig into their weird and wonderful history, with Max desperately trying to duck Yoko Ono allegations about his wife's involvement with Sepultura. It's an album that meant a lot to Bryan and we go over in detail what the split from Sepultura meant i…

Episode 54: Linkin Park's "Meteora", or How John Learned to Stop Worrying and Skipped School to Buy Linkin Park 1:40:41

5M ago1:40:41

1:40:41

It took exactly FIFTY episodes, but Linkin Park is back on the show and we are talking about their legendary, 16 million copy-selling, sophomore album "Meteora". It's an album that is the last effort of Linkin Park's that could be considered nu-metal and finds John and Bryan at two totally different places in their life upon its release: an album s…

Episode 53: Saliva's "Every Six Seconds", or How To Make the Perfect Album (For Us) 2:07:32

6M ago2:07:32

2:07:32

It's one of the longest episodes of the show ever, and how could it not be when we're discussing an album that so perfectly captures the strange gap period between nu-metal's brief dominance and butt rock's eventual takeover, Saliva's "Every Six Seconds". It's clear this was a band that was unashamedly shooting for the rafters of stadiums, going so…

Episode 52: Primus' "Frizzle Fry", or The Cult of Virtuosity 1:40:28

7M ago1:40:28

1:40:28

Who is a Primus Guy, exactly? We turn to Bryan's expertise on the subject (both Guys and Primus) to dig in on one of the 90s' most confounding top-selling bands, Primus. How is it that a band whose angular-yet-heavy take on rock music, centered on one man's virtuosic playing of the BASS (of all things) led to a multi-platinum-selling band? We try t…

Jools' Annual Hootenanny is a TV show in the UK that runs once a year, over the New Year countdown.

1:38:06

After a little detour and something a little different on our last episode, we are back to covering a regular album this month, and what a regular album it is, as we take a peek at Chevelle's major label debut "Wonder What's Next", an album with two MASSIVE singles and a whole swath of drama. You see, Chevelle at this point in time consists of 3 br…

In this episode, I talk about the time I purchased VIP tickets to see Trapt in London and checking with my brother, we are sure that we went to see Trapt in 2013.

Episode 50: Our Favorite Nu-Metal Songs w/ Raina Douris, Dan Ozzi, Ed Zitron, and Andy Anaya 2:30:51

9M ago2:30:51

2:30:51

We made it! Who knew that this podcast, birthed out of a random DM from John to Bryan after they effectively hijacked his episode of Blocked Party and made it the de facto first episode of POD Kast, would make it all the way to damn Episode 50! And we thought, what better way to celebrate than by bringing on some of our friends to talk about their …

Episode 49: Limp Bizkit's "Three Dollar Bill, Y'All$", or Some Days It's Wack 2:04:23

2:04:23

When Limp Bizkit gets in the studio, some days it's heavy, some days it's mellow, some days it's good, and some days...well, some days it is wack. Fred is honest with us and we are honest with Fred as we review Limp Bizkit's classic debut album, "Three Dollar Bill, Y'All$". Bryan remembers seeing Limp Bizkit very early on as we reminisce about some…

11M ago1:42:41

1:42:41

For just the second time in the show's history (and perhaps the last time), we are covering our namesake band, as we dive into the P.O.D. well once again to review their major-label debut, "The Fundamental Elements of Southtown". I'll say this: we like it a heck of a lot more than we did "Satellite". Doesn't stop us from finding lots to chew on her…

Episode 47: Metallica's "St. Anger", or My Pod Style Determines My Death Style 1:54:29

1y ago1:54:29

1:54:29

It was perhaps an inevitability that we got around to covering one of the most maligned albums in the "nu-metal" genre, when the biggest metal band of all-time dips their toe into the nu-metal waters about 3 years too late. It's Metallica's "St. Anger", the one that wrought the most cursed snare tone of all-time and the documentary "Some Kind of Mo…

Episode 46: Adema's "Adema", or a Nu-Metal Cinderella Story 1:49:37

1:49:37

After a Poll of bands we thought may never get a chance to win, Adema's "Adema" emerged as the clear victor and how could it not: an album we loved a single from, featuring Jonathan Davis' half-brother and a bunch of listeners telling us it's good. Well, folks...it's good. So good, in fact, that Bryan teases the P-word. Does it reach Perfecto statu…
