Two Decades Too Late

Baaaabbbyyyyyy, ya got me all wrong...... Wait, sorry, wrong thing. On this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast we're taking a listen to a different The New Black. This is the 2006 album from Canadian band, Strapping Young Lad. It's an album that has a lot going on. Is that a good thing? Was it a good thing then? Join Brad and Josh on their journey to find out. 

Well, well, well. What is this? Our first repeat guest? On this week's menu is 2006's The Fall of Ideals from All That Remains. Brad and Josh reviewed their previous album (check it out), This Darkened Heart. Does this album still cut the mustard? Is it time for a reappraisal? Tune in and find out. 

Brad and Josh are back at it! This week's episode is all about finding out where or what exactly that fire was inside of. We're taking a listen to DECEMBERUNDERGROUND from AFI. In 2006, it was probably impossible to not have heard at least one song from this album, whether you wanted to or not. What about the rest of the album? And did it stand the test of time? Tune in and find out. 

Sometimes you just have to turn that music up loud. Loud enough that you just might...Wake The Dead. And that's what Brad and Josh have for you on this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast. The 2005 album from Comeback Kid. The title track on this bad boy is iconic and still can bring a group of millennials running from miles away. Did you love it in 2005? Is there any reas...

A monument of dicks and ribs is what we have for you all this week! Brad and Josh are listening to the 2005 album Kezia from Protest the Hero on this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast. If you were into this in 2005, there's a really good chance you're still listening to it today. We certainly are. Tune in and see if you can discover something new about the album you...

You may have been Mezmerized by our last episode, but now it's time to be Hypnotize(d). That's right, we've got the  second  release from System of a Down on this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast. Brad and Josh had relatively good things to say about the first album. Does the second hold up?

Don't forget to Bring Your Own Bomb. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are taking a listen to the first of two releases from System of a Down in 2005. We've got Mesmerize in the old compact disc player this week. You might recognize it if you were a fan. Twenty years later, is it still the smash hit it was? Tune in to find out!

That's right, gang. It's time for another jam session! Brad and Josh are taking on four albums in blazing fashion. Or, as close to it as we can manage with half a dozen pop culture references and inside jokes. On this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast we've got albums from Light This City, A Dozen Furies, The Knife Trade, and Beneath the Massacre. Tune is for s...

On this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh listen to blast beats, and lots of them. Too many? Who's to say? Regardless, we're taking on the 2005 album, I, Monarch from Hate Eternal. It's a rad as hell band name with some rad as hell dudes. Is the album rad as hell twenty years later? We'll give you our take if you tune in. 

You ever just look in the mirror and ask yourself, "Are you dead yet?" No? Well, it happened to the singer of this week's band. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we're soul-searching the 2005 album, Are You Dead Yet? from Children of Bodom. Bodom was a big deal in Brad and Josh's early years. Does this album hit the spot? Tune in and find out. 

This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we have the 2005 album, Ascendancy from Trivium. This is a phenomenal, pivotal album from the early 2000's, right? Or is it? Some people certainly think so. Do Brad and Josh agree? Tune in to find out if this album has stood the test of time. Or, if it was ever actually good to begin with!

This week, things are getting a little...progressive. No, not that way. We're talking prog rock/metal. And as such, I was genuinely concerned I would not be able to fit the entire album title in the episode name. Anyone ever heard of character limits?! This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are tackling the Coheed and Cambria album, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV,...

Oral hygiene is the key to longevity and vitality. Your dentist knows it, you know it, hell, even demons know it. That's obvious from the cover art on this week's album. And that album would be Attera Totus Sanctus, or "destroy all the holy," to you laity. That's right, on this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are taking a trip to the...

This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are diving into what may be a lesser known album. It's Terminate Damnation, the debut album from Becoming The Archetype. Landing solidly in the Christian metal scene, this was definitely an album that was within the gravitational pull of music we were listening to in 2005. How does it stack up twenty years later? Tune in and find ou...

This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we got a JAAAAAM session. Brad and Josh are dipping a toe into four albums that we want to do a brief overview on. And those albums are? Animal Alpha - Pheromones, Origin - Echoes of Decimation, Sunn O))) - Black One, Kreator - Enemy of God. There is a LOT going on here, so tune in and check it out. 

Somebody once said, "I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell." Well, no cowbell here, but possibly an equal or greater amount of spprrrrrrat ta ting ting, sppprrrrrrat ta ting ting. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we've got Bloodlust from Through the Eyes of the Dead. We've talked about TTEOTD before and now it's time to dive into their full...

Do you ever just wake up to white walls and endless halls? With an emptiness that echoes through it all? Well if so, just sit back in your bed with your mind medicated. That's the state of things midway through this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast. Brad and Josh are on the journey with The Patient in the 2005 release, Trainwreck, from Canadian band Boys Night Out. And...

On this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we're listening not once, not twice, but Thrice! That's right, we've got the 2005 album Vheissu. If you were into Thrice in 2005, you probably know the deal. Coming off the heals of SOTY, there were lots of comparisons made. Let's dive in and see what there is to love about this thing. 

We've got it! And we're determined to bring it to you! A story so good, you might say....enough of that. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we're taking a listen to In the Wake of Determination from Story of the Year. A microcosm of life in 2005 for Brad and Josh. Will it stand the test of time? Drop the tailgate and let's find out. 

Clients. Am I right? I've got them, you've got them, and we're all somebody else's client. That, among other things, is what this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast is all about. The Clients album from The Red Chord is a brutal and punishing album. Brad's always had a soft spot for this album. Josh? Not so much. Tune in and find out if Josh is going to...

This week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast is about another podcast that looks exactly like ours! Not really, but it is in fact, Doppelganger from Washington state band, The Fall of Troy. This one played ad nauseum for Josh and Brad in 2005. Does this tangled mess stand the test of time? Or will you find this album floating down by the docks, just on top of the rocks? Tune in and...

Meet us behind Ye Ole' Slaughterhouse for this one. This week, Brad and Josh are taking a listen to The Archaic Abattoir from Aborted. If there's two things I love from Belgium, honestly it's probably chocolate and waffles. But Aborted is definitely up there! And this album is a heavy hitter. There's a plethora of words to look up, and some strong opinions on vocal panning. Tun...

Are you ready to put the "R" in fun? This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we have The Bravery....by...The Bravery! You might be saying to yourself, "the who?!" No, that's a different band. These guys were huge in the UK in 2005 (yeah, that's The Who). Find out what Brad and Josh think about what's going on in this album. Lots of keys and lots of synth (...

Ooooooooooooooooooh no. There goes Tokyo. Just kidding. This episode has little to nothing to do with Tokyo. In fact, this week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we have Gojira (from France) and their 2005 album From Mars to Sirius. An album that lived in relative obscurity for Brad and Josh. Let's see if this review sheds some light on why that might be and whether or not we missed a gem....

We're back! And kicking off our 2005 albums, we've got Thrill Seeker from August Burns Red. We dive into what made this album so special at the time and talk about the lasting impacts August Burns Red has had on the genre ever since. What a way to start a year!
