The Wet Bandits Podcast

Sure, it's only two weeks after the Season 1 Bandies--but this episode wraps up Season 2, and there's no better way to finish the season than to hand out awards to the albums we covered over the last 14 weeks before we move on to Season 3.  Enjoy!

We've finally made it through our countdown, and the final album we're covering for our best/worst sophomore albums needs no introduction.  Unless, maybe, you didn't realize it was a sophomore album.

Nirvana's Nevermind might be the cliche choice--but it's the correct one--and Mike and Sam love on this one as much as you'd expect them to.

We've been spending every episode working our way to the best sophomore album of the 90's--but we're going to make you wait one more week!  This week, Mike and Sam (somewhat drunkenly) host the first ever Bandie Awards!  Listen in to find out who are the big winners and losers!

We've finally done it: we've reached the worst sophomore album of the 90's.  Razorblade Suitcase is boring, poorly written unmelodic and, well, just listen to the episode.  Maybe you like it better than Mike and Sam.  If so, let us know!  If not, you know what to hashtag.  #thumbsdowntotheground

Mike and Sam finish their discussion on the Christianity(?) of Creed, and follow that by covering Live's landmark second album, "Throwing Copper".  Mike geeks out over pretty much the entire thing.  Sam humors him (but seemingly agrees that the album is good).  If you've forgotten how good this album is, let this episode be a reminder to you.

The title says it all.  In this ep, Mike and Sam take a drive to Louisville to see Tool.  EVERYTHING is against them.  Mike's adult ADD, traffic patterns in big cities, the Lord himself--and only Sam's rocket-boosters are here to save the day.  Listen in to see how everything pans out!

In this episode, Mike essentially declares war on Scott Stapp, but Sam sorta loves him.  The two discuss the few merits and the MANY downfalls of Creed's second studio album, Human Clay.

In this episode, Mike describes his first field sobriety test and his effuses his new love for live Weezer. Oh, yeah, and Sam and Mike cover "Dirt", the second full-length album from Mike's favorite band, Alice in Chains.

Marvel as Sam finds a way NOT to hit Mike while he plays his favorite intro over, and over, and over again...just because he likes it.

This time around, Mike and Sam start the episode by tacking on what was so heinously left off of the Freak Show (Silverchair) episode.  Then they get into Weezer's Pinkerton--and lots of gushing and swooning ensues...

For the first time, The Wet Bandits Podcast ventures outside of the 90's to look at one of the 90's most successful bands BEFORE they were the most legendary band in metal. This week Mike and Sam check out Ride The Lightning from 1984.

Also, Mike calls a record company on-air to try to get signed, and Sam has to change his underwear several times because he gets so excited talking about Metallica.
