Episode 83: TRUSTcompany's "The Lonely Position of Neutral", or the Softest Album We've Covered (complimentary) (also derogatory)

John finally snares his white whale as he promised not to listen to this full album despite loving "Downfall" for two decades until it won a Poll. It won a Poll, and surprise surprise, he loves it. Bryan, however, does not. Ultimately we settle somewhere in the middle overall, as the album is extremely competent but came out at a time where all the heavy stuff was flattened a bit, and it may be to the album's detriment. We also discover through interviews that these guys didn't have a ton to say, which probably informs some of the lyrics, which also don't say a lot. All that is to say, nu-metal was in a weird place in 2002 and this episode covers an awful lot of it. You know where else we cover an awful lot of nu-metal? Our Patreon! We do three brand-new bonus episodes every single month including last month when Branson Reese joined the show for the first time to discuss Liquid Gang's "Sunshine"! It was a blast. You'll also get access to our entire back catalogue of bonus episodes that totals over 200, you'll get access to our Discord, and MORE! Check it out today at patreon.com/thepodkast.
