    Sleep Token, “Take Me Back To Eden” - 2 Minutes to Review | Epic Footnote Productions

    Sleep Token have become quite a cult sensation - causing a stir with their mix of tech metal and alternative R&B while remaining entirely anonymous. But does the masked and cloak-wearing outfit led by the mysterious "Vessel" live up to all the hype with their third album "Take Me Back To Eden"?

    Bamboozle’s Failed Return - Am I Missing Something? | Epic Footnote Productions

    Bamboozle’s Failed Return - Am I Missing Something? | Epic Footnote Productions

    Bamboozle Fest ended up getting canceled one week before it was set to take place in Atlantic City. And believe it or not, even more controversy surrounding the New Jersey festival’s return arose since we premiered our initial episode (stream here: https://youtu.be/TMl3iFfEb6s) - from Bamboozle running promotions that on the surface seemed to undercut fans who purchased pre-sale tickets at extraordinary costs, to festival organizer John D’Esposito going after critics via his own podcast, and much more (oh, and don’t forget about the festival never getting final permits!) …
     
    Hear Matt and Zach try to recap it all in this follow-up episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.

    Mötley Crüe's Legal Battle with Mick Mars - Am I Missing Something? | Epic Footnote Productions

    Mötley Crüe's Legal Battle with Mick Mars - Am I Missing Something? | Epic Footnote Productions

    To say that the legal battle between Mötley Crüe and former guitarist Mick Mars escalated extremely fast is an understatement - with both sides making harsh claims about each other in the public eye. So how did we end up here? Is either side truly in "the right"? Should we even be surprised that Mötley Crüe is responsible for what promises to become one of the ugliest legal battles in rock?
     
    That’s what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.

    Metallica, “72 Seasons” - 2 Minutes to Review | Epic Footnote Productions

    Metallica, “72 Seasons” - 2 Minutes to Review | Epic Footnote Productions

    It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: a new Metallica album! Does “72 Seasons” show that the metal legends still have plenty of gas left in the tank, or that they’re well past their creative peak? Where does their latest studio album rank within its storied catalog? And can you believe that albums like “Kill ‘Em All,” “... And Justice For All,” “St. Anger” and “Death Magnetic” are celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2023?!
     
    Find out what Matt and Zach think in Epic Footnote Productions’ “2 Minutes to Review,” a podcast that’s part album review and part competition. In each episode, both hosts are given two minutes each to review a newly released album or a classic record they’re revisiting. Whoever gives the longest review in under two minutes wins.
     
    Also listen to a TON of our past episodes where Metallica gets heavily discussed:

If You’re A Music Geek Like I Am...

...then give these guys a listen! The shows are fun, engaging, and as a listener you feel like you’re a part of the conversation, not being lectured too. I personally dig the “2 Minute Review” competition segments, as that offers a refreshing spin on album reviews, and you’re getting two points of view at once! Hope to do a crossover episode with you guys one day!

Oh pokey 1210 ,

Love the debate

I have to say, this is great to hear two different takes on albums (creating the area for debate, ultimately bringing it together into a cohesive list)... Very informative, and I’ve come away learning stuff that I never knew before...keep up the great work.
