Episode 35: Coal Chamber's "Coal Chamber", or the Silliness of Nu-Metal Realized

BIG TRUCK! BIG TRUCK! After literal years of trying to get this album to win a Poll, Bryan's dream finally comes true and the boys cover Coal Chamber's debut, self-titled album and it does not disappoint. Perhaps the first nu-metal band to recognize the inherent silliness of the genre, from the lyrics to the interviews, we also recognize that this record absolutely kicks ass. It's clearly inspired by Korn's first record in all the right ways, with gritty production, chunky riffs, and a great rhythm section holding it all down. Bryan talks about loving this album as a kid and John loves it now, and it's got one of the genre's best album covers too. Just a real "great job, gang!" situation all around.   If you want to be part of a great gang, you can head on over to our Patreon at patreon.com/thepodkast, where $4/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month.
