Episodes
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, Volume One: From Fear Through the ...
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 underworld for Dark Funeral's ...
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 out.
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 studio release. Tune in and choke ...
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 boy is trainwreck an apt title. The...
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 see the error of his ways, or if t...
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 find out!
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. Tune in to this week's episode of...
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 (still sounds a lot like The Who). A...
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. Let's take this journey into ...
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!
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 holidays. We're feeling extra charita...
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? Let's listen to the music and ...
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. If you like symphonic metal, you're probably in for a good time. If you're not into symphonic metal, you might still be in for a good time. Tune in and find out how this one holds up after 20 years. Has symphonic metal gotten old? Probably not.
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! This week, Two Decades Too Late reviews the Lamb of God album Ashes of the Wake! Tune in and find out just how hard we are feeling the 2004 of this album.
