Episode 21: Flyleaf's "Flyleaf", or Searching for Jesus in a World of Broken Bands

It's the first time we've ever chosen an album because of our bonus singles episodes, as we put up 4 bands in our monthly poll whose singles we loved and much to Bryan's chagrin, Flyleaf won out. A band that seemed to take their nu-metal cues from Linkin Park more than Korn, this 2005 release comes right at the very tail end of nu-metal, bridging the gap between that genre and screamo in a way that John likes but Bryan decidedly does not. The disagreement aside, we talk about our first concerts, the song Bryan lost his virginity to, the production choices on the album, and we learn an awful lot about how much this band loved Jesus.   If you want to do some worship of a different kind, you can donate to our Patreon at patreon.com/thepodkast, where $4/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every month. Last month, we covered a truly bizarre MTV documentary about the making of a Korn video, and this month, we have an interview with the Korn fan who won the contest to direct that video AND we review the Freddy v. Jason soundtrack. Plus we review singles and we take donations from you to tell us what to listen to! It's all there, so check it out.
