Early Machine Head fans didn't take kindly to this album but it did introduce a whole new group of people to the band so we use this as a launching pad to talk about the vested interests that come into play when your band becomes a business. Whilst there is some background on how that Message in a Bottle cover made it to the album, the inclusion of that song makes it a hard album to defend but ultimately Machine Head have stood the test of time and their fans are still buying tickets to see them live.
Scour the entire Earth and try and find another podcast that is going to draw the oft-forgotten parallels between cricket and nu-metal.
For those of you that keep asking, yes, there is a bunch of Kerry King and Sum 41 chat is on this episode. Gotta keep the fans happy.
