Dope has titled this album "Felons and Revolutionaries" because they really want you to be invested in the idea they sold drugs to fund the making of it. And I guess because they think they have revolutionary ideas about politics, most of which boil down to "America is bad" and "society is bad and/or crazy". Whether or not they actually sold drugs is up for debate, but we dig into their debut that borrows a lot from Marilyn Manson and would ride the wave of industrial-tinged nu-metal that bands like Static-X, Powerman 5000 and Fear Factory would also surf on. The album isn't bad but the lyrics certainly are as we try to make sense of where they fit then and where they fit now in the overall history of nu-metal. Plus, John finally sees Korn for the first time as Bryan preps to take his co-host of Guys, Chris, to do the same.

If you want to donate to the show for the first time, it's very easy! Just head on over to patreon.com/thepodkast and for just $4/month, you'll get access to THREE BRAND NEW bonus episodes every month, plus our entire back catalogue, PLUS access to our Discord, PLUS merch discounts. How neat! Last month, Bryan and John rode solo as we covered Bring Me the Horizon for the first time and we both enjoyed it. Don't miss it!
