Episode 32: Mushroomhead's "XIII", or A Collection of Anthems

We finally get to talking about the band responsible for the best artist biography in the business, Mushroomhead. Covering their most popular album, "XIII", we take a read of the infamous bio as well as the "News" portion of their site, which we find is just as fluffily written as the biography is and purports their albums to be "a collection of anthems". The album is...ok. We discuss the songs and how they try to find nu-metal's middle, as we find out that turntablist Stitch is a haunted house aficionado, and gives the longest interview answer of all-time. Plus, John becomes a Crocs guy, the band just can't help continuing to compare themselves to Slipknot even though they insist there's no bad blood, and Bryan comes up with his latest hot take just one day before the Machine Gun Kelly debacle: there is no such thing as a bad cover.   If you want to hear us talk on a lot of covers (and other fun stuff), you can head on over to patreon.com/thepodkast and support the show. In exchange for your donation, you'll get THREE bonus episodes every single month, where we review nu-metal singles and albums suggested by you, the listener. You can donate to decide on what you want us to cover on those episodes over on the Patreon, and you can also hear last month's main bonus show, where we watched Anime Music Videos with OK Fox of the Art and Labor podcast. It was a good time! We also have a Discord, you get a listening list every month before we record the episodes, and more goodies. So check it out.
