Two Decades Too Late

What. Is. UP everybody?! After a medium-length absence, Josh and Brad are back and we've got a Jam Session to try to cram as many awesome albums into the end of the year as we can. This week we're taking a quick dive into It Dies Today, The Chariot, Monster Magnet, and Fear Before the March of Flames. There may even be a little bonus content at the end in the spirit of the giving holiday...

Picture yourself in California in 2004. The air is crisp, the weather is perfect, and your eyeliner is on point. If this sounds familiar, you may have been a fan of Eighteen Visions. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, we're listening to their 2004 album, Obsession. Tune in to find out if Brad and Josh are obsessed with this album or if it couldn't cut the mustard. 

Happy election week, gang. By shear cosmic providence we have a special episode for you. A bit of a departure from the norm, this week Brad and Josh are reviewing American Idiot by Green Day. This album came out in 2004. Twenty years ago ('cause that's our shtick). Let's see how the themes of the day apply to our current society. Have things gotten better? Have things gotten worse?...

Ship? Check. Lighthouse? Check. Waves? Check. Wolves? You betcha! This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are reviewing Reckoning Night from Sonata Arctica.

Has symphonic...

So hear us out...how much better would the movie The Birds be if the birds had bullets? If you agree with us that the answer is a LOT, then you're in luck!

Watch where you point your finger because on this week of the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are taking a trip to Hollywood. We've got the 2004 release from He is Legend, I Am Hollywood. It's a fairytale jaunt through dangerous woods, smooth bass lines, and nutty drum beats. This album was a favorite in 2004, let's see if it stands the test of time. Will Heather come ho...

Oli Herbert was the man at guitar. I know it, you know it, and on this week's episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are digging into just how true this is. This week, we've got This Darkened Heart from All That Remains. It was a monster album in 2004. Did it stand the test of time? Maybe. Was Oli Herbert good at guitar? Absolutely. 

This Jam Session, we're bringing the weirdness. On this special episode of the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are doing quick(ish) hits of Gwar, Kittie, Probot, and Through the Eyes of the Dead. It's a sweet mix of music. Tune in to find out who shines and whether or not anybody wishes it would rain!

The crazier the fists, the snowier the cap of the romance. And this week we have 36 of them bad boys. This week Brad and Josh are taking a listen to the Alaskan natives, 36 Crazyfists and their 2004 album, A Snow Capped Romance. We missed a real opportunity to post this at The End of August, but we've got our capsules ready to swallow in atonement. Come see what we have to say about this albu...

Orange you excited to be gobblin' up this episode. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are diving into the Orange Goblin episode, Thieving from the House of God. If you aren't super familiar with Orange Goblin, neither are we, so tune in and find out what all the fuss is about. 

Every escape needs a good soundtrack...and a key. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are finding out if this is the soundtrack for them, or if the soundtrack is what needs escaping. We've got In Flames' 2004 album, Soundtrack to Your Escape. There's definitely a lot to unpack with this one and one of us likes it more than the other. Tune in and find out exa...

This week, the TDTL podcast reviews the Gone Forever album by God Forbid. God Forbid we actually...something...probably...insert joke here? Maybe? Enjoy!

Boy, do we have a whale of an episode this week on Two Decades Too Late. Brad and Josh are finding their sea legs and diving into the depths of Mastodon's 2004 release, Leviathan. Stop by for all the aquatic mammal based humor your can stand, and let's see if this album stands the test of time or gets relegated to the briny deep. 

Yeah, why don't YOU go back and take a bath. This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are diving into the deep end of some good, old-fashioned, straight-forward, other-hyphenated, Death Metal. We've got Nightmares Made Flesh from Bloodbath. 

Somebody Told us that you all were feeling down. So we have a Killer episode for you this week!

BA. RRY. YOUR. F@*IN' DEAD! BE. RRY. YOUR. F@*IN' DEAD! BEAR. EAT. YOUR F@*IN' DEAD! None of that's right, but this week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast we've got the Cover Your Tracks album from Bury Your Dead. It's a non-stop hardcore beatdown with some serious snare and plenty of Tom Cruise to talk about. Check out what Brad and Josh have to say about this one....

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...

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!

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. 

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 an...

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...

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 pas...

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&apos...

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!

Well, suck my blood and call me Shirley! This week on the Two Decades Too Late podcast, Brad and Josh are reviewing The Curse from Atreyu. Tune in and find out if this one was actually a curse or a blessing.
