In today’s episode of One Last Breath, your will be covering the debut album “Sex and Violins” by Swedish techno country group Rednex. The debut for the group contains their only claim to fame; the inescapable Cotton Eye Joe. The song was sensation and is perhaps the most enduring hit from the 90’s or even of all time. One you get past that track however, there’s an entire album of lazy dance inspired country to sink into. The album itself was widely panned by critics and was so forgettable that most people would be surprised to learn that Rednex still performs and sometimes releases new music to this day. Did Rednex deserve to be a one hit wonder? Did they actually write some overlooked gems? Tune in this week to find out!

In this weeks episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the album “California” by pop punk OG’s Blink-182. After founding vocalist/guitarist Tom DeLonge had left the band, Blink-182 found themselves with the hard decision of replacing him. They decided on Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio to lead the band into a new era. The whole situation was met with tons of differing opinions from Blink’s fan base. Some were optimistic of the prospect of Alkaline Trio’s style combing with Blink’s. Some just simply couldn’t imagine Blink without DeLonge in the forefront. The first product of the Skiba era was California, which for the most part was a straight forward summertime pop-punk album. It was met with mostly positive reviews from critics, with some finding annoyance with the over production and formulaic songwriting. The fans however were more critical, and just didn’t consider that this Skiba era was the real Blink-182. After another album “Nine” with Skiba, DeLonge rejoined the band and released the comeback album “One More Time.” making the Skiba era just a minor detour in the bands long history. Is California far more hated than it deserves to be? Or is it rightfully looked at as misstep in the legendary Blink-182’s career? Tune in to find out!

In the 25th episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the 4th album by everyone’s favorite nu-metal band: Limp Bizkit. The album in question is “Results May Vary,” a release that found the band without long time guitarist Wes Borland. The problem is, Borland’s guitar playing is considered a key component for the Limp Bizkit formula, so the absence of him was felt by many. Results May Vary is a very apt title, as many critics and fans alike noted the overbloated track listing, which contains too many meandering tracks and weak songwriting. Also within the album is their cover of “Behind Blue Eyes” by the Who; which was a commercially successful single, but is a point of contention among fans. Is Results May Vary really Bizkits weakest effort? Are there perhaps some hidden gems to be found under the surface? Tune in this week to find out!

n the 23rd episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss children’s novelty album “Smart Kids” by McGruff the Crime Dog. McGruff was an icon of the 1980’s “Just Say No” campaign, quickly becoming one of the most recognizable pop culture figures of the era appearing in countless ad campaigns. Inevitably, an album was made to further expose McGruff to the masses. Smart Kids made a resurgence on TikTok a while back, with everyone poking fun at the sheer absurdity of hearing an anthropomorphic dog sing about crack cocaine to an 80’s pop tune. Tune in this week to hear your hosts dig deeper into this surprisingly competent and insanely catchy moment of American pop culture.

On the 23rd episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the 8th album by Thrash Metal big four member Anthrax titled “Volume 8: The Threat Is Real.” Anthrax, while being the least popular of the big four, carved out a very influential and noteworthy career for themselves. After putting out classic albums such as “Spreading the Disease” and “Among the Living,” Anthrax found themselves at a crossroads when lead singer Joey Belladonna was fired from the band in 1992. They hired singer John Bush of Armored Saint and tried their hand at a more grunge oriented style. A couple of albums later Anthrax found themselves at the critical low of their career in 1998 with Volume 8. Most point out the uninspired and generic song writing, and the lack of success the band has in adapting to the changing metal scene. Is this the weakest moment of Anthrax’s career? Is it actually an underrated mid career thrash gem? Tune in this week to find out!

In the 22nd episode of One Last Breath, your hosts will be discussing “Bad Reputation,” the most recent album from country/ hip-hop/ rock musician Kid Rock. Kid Rock has never been stranger to controversy, with too many divisive comments and feuds to count. However, at one point of his career he was at least a successful and mostly well received musician. Such is not the case with this most recent effort. From the very moment lead single “Don’t Tell Me How To Live” was released with an accompanying music video, the internet took no mercy on Kid Rock and completely shredded apart the song. The main criticisms for that lead single reign true for the majority of the album which include: very cringe worthy and pandering overly political lyrics, uninspired and derivative music and Kid Rocks complete lack of self awareness. Is “Bad Reputation” the complete dumpster fire everyone says it is? Does Kid Rock actually come through with some redeeming qualities? Tune in this week to find out!

In the 21st episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the landmark album “Trout Mask Replica” by experimental rock group Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band. Touching many genres such as garage rock, R&B, free jazz and avant- garde; the album is even wilder and unexpected than you could imagine. There’s much at play throughout the album including polyrhythms,multi-octave vocals and many unconventional instruments. Trout Mask Replica is truly an album one must experience to fully understand. It stands as one of the most important yet challenging recordings ever released, even going so far as to be added to the Library of Congress. Tune in this week to hear how your hosts perceive this mammoth of music history.

In the 20th episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the eighth album “Diabolus in Musica” by American thrash metal band Slayer. This release by the band came at a time in the late 90’s when almost every veteran metal band was struggling to find their identity among a changing musical landscape. Many critics and fans point to this as the “nu metal” Slayer album, with most pointing out the obvious alternative metal and groove metal influences. This all makes for the most poorly received album by the most consistently received band of thrash metal’s big 4. Diabolus in Musica was a quick experimentation from the band, as for the rest of their career they would course correct to the sounds explored in their 80s and early 90s catalogue.

In todays episode of One Last Breath, your hosts will be discussing the one and only album “Philosophy of the World” by garage rock/outsider music band The Shaggs. Forced to perform and write music by their father Austin Wiggin, sisters Helen, Betty and Dorothy “Dot” Wiggin released their only effort in 1969. The sisters had no knowledge of how to play their instruments, causing them to play out of key and out of tune. It received little attention upon release, meanwhile Austin passed away and the sisters went on to live normal lives. However, the album gained some underground buzz, causing members of the band NRBQ to reissue the album on their label. Upon reissue, it was considered by many critics as an important, intriguing and haunting piece of outsider music. Frank Zappa called the Shaggs better than the Beatles. Kurt Cobain listed the album as his fifth favorite of all time. Does it live up to these praises? Tune in this week to find out!

In todays episode of One Last Breath, your hosts will be discussing the eighth studio album “Thank You” by new wave band Duran Duran. After early career success in early 80’s, Duran Duran experienced struggles with their identity and sound over the late 80s and early 90’s. Troubles navigating the changing musical landscape, as well as two founding members of the band leaving led to a few less than favorably received albums. Duran Duran made a comeback with a self titled effort in 1993, but then followed it up with by far their most poorly received work to date with Thank You. Thank You is a cover album that sees the band covering a wide variety of artists from Led Zeppelin to The Tempations to Public Enemy. Criticism was directed to the awkward reworkings of classic songs that critics said ranged from boring to downright offensive. Thank You was even declared the worst album of all time by Q magazine. Does Duran Duran actually butcher these classic tracks? Are there actually some interesting ideas and redeeming factors to be found? Tune in to this weeks episode to find out!

In todays episode your hosts will be discussing the 3rd album “Streets in the Sky” by British indie rockers The Enemy. After releasing two albums to mixed to positive reviews and some chart success, The Enemy released “Streets in the Sky” to absolutely overwhelmingly negative reviews. So low in fact that it’s aggregate critic score on website “AnyDecentMusic?” is a pathetic 2.9/10 making it the fifth lowest ranked album on the website. Main criticisms for the album include it containing no originality, no progression of the bands sound, and overall lack of personality and passion. All of which had been knocks for some on The Enemy’s first two efforts. So why does this album constantly pop up on many worst of lists? Tune in this week to find out if “Streets in the Sky” is really as bad as everyone says, or if it’s a passable run of the mill 2010’s indie album.

In today’s episode of One Last Breath, your hosts will be covering the first and only album by British novelty act Fast Food Rockers with “It’s Never Easy Being Cheesy.” Known for their big hit, simply titled “Fast Food Song”, this song is the furthest the group took their name and shtick. Their one and only album is a run of the mill Euro Pop album, but is pretty much universally considered to be an awful one. Join us this week to learn about a very awkward release in a very awkward time and genre. Oh and by the way, it really is easy being that cheesy.

The year is 2006. Hips Don’t Lie and Bad Day are at the top of the charts. MySpace, Facebook and YouTube are in their infancy and taking over the free time of teens and young adults everywhere. The Britney’s Spears husband, Kevin Federline, does the unexpected and drops a full length rap album. Kevin Federline was public enemy number one in the media at the time, due to breaking off his engagement with Shar Jackson with whom he had two children, and almost immediately starting to date Britney Spears. K Fed fed off of this infamy and released “Playing With Fire” to the disdain of critics and the general public. It is considered one of the worst albums of all time, and even holds the worst score on review aggregator Metacritic. Is “Playing With Fire” the absolute train wreck that everyone claims it to be? Or is it actually a passable album? Or even…. a good album? Tune in this weeks episode to find out and to hear more than you ever wanted to about irrelevant celebrity beef from 17 years ago.

In today’s episode of One Last Breath, your hosts will be covering Super Collider by thrash metal giants Megadeth. Super Collider finds a band 14 albums into their career, right of the heels of a recent critical resurgence; after their late 90’s and early 00’s downfall. Super Collider was received very poorly by critics and fans of the band, with tired songwriting, cringey lyrics, and the overall hard rock sound of the album in contrast to the bands usual speedy thrash style. Is this the worst album in the storied career of Megadeth? Could it even be the worst album in thrash metal history? Tune in this week to find out!

In todays episode of One Last Breath your hosts will be discussing debut album “The Big Day” by Chicago rapper Chance the Rapper. Chance was on top of the rap game in 2016. He had 3 critically acclaimed mixtapes under his belt and had arguably one of the greatest feature verses not just of the year, but of all time on Kanye West’s track “Ultralight Beam”. Chance had built up so much momentum, surely his next project would be the icing on the cake, right? Well, Chance’s bar “I met Kanye West I’m never going to fail” aged like milk in a hot car because his fall from grace is perhaps one of the quickest ever to happen in music. “The Big Day” was a massive failure in many aspects. Sure it had decent to positive critical reception, but Chance’s fan ads completely turned on him, as the album was seen as a downgrade in every single aspect of what made his music special in the first place. Was this massive fall off justified, or was the public perhaps blowing it out of proportion?

In todays episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the soundtrack “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Released in 1978, alongside the movie of the same title; the film and soundtrack boasted a star studded cast including The BeeGees, Peter Frampton, Alice Cooper, Steve Martin, Aerosmith and a bunch of less noteworthy people. Both the film and soundtrack were critical and commercial failures. Being released right in the heart of the disco craze of the late 70s, the soundtrack consists of 70s style covers of popular Beatles tracks; including most of the Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road albums. The very weird directions most of these covers went and the overall poor quality of the performances caused basically everyone who heard the album to be completely baffled (it was the first album to “return platinum” with over 4 million copies being returned to distributors).
Is the soundtrack rightfully looked at as a huge misstep by everyone involved, or is there actually more merit to it than critics or fans were willing to give it at the time? Tune in to find out!

In this weeks episode your hosts will be discussing the children’s novelty album “Songs in the Key of E” by Chuck E. Cheese. Of course the lineup feature none other than Chuck himself on guitar and vocals, Helen Henny on vocals, Mr. Munch on keybord, Jasper T. Jowls on bass, and Pasqually on drums. The classic animatronic lineup itself. The album is suprisingly versatile, crossing many genres of music and incorporating a unique quirkiness to the blend. How does “Songs in the Key of E” stack up against other novelty albums? Is it even better than the immortal Hulk Rules? Tune in to find out the answers to those questions, and more than you’d ever want to know about Chuck E Cheese

In the 10th episode of One Last Breath, your hosts cover the debut album “Swan Songs” by Rap-Metal/ Post-Hardcore group Hollywood Undead. Similar to the subject of last weeks episode, Hollywood Undead first made a splash on MySpace, becoming one of the many artists to sign to a record label after establishing themselves on the website. Although Swan Songs was a success commercially and with the scene kid crowd; it received mixed to negative reviews from most critics. Many pointed out the juvenile lyrics and uneven tone; with the album going from arrogant and hyper-sexual frat rap on one track, to dark and overly emotional post-hardcore on the next. Does Swan Songs hold up as a gem of the late 2000’s scene kid catalogue? Is it an embarrassing product of its time? Tune in this week to find out!

The 9th episode of One Last Breath has your hosts discussing the debut album of Atlanta overnight sensation rapper Soulja Boy. Garnering instant success with his first single released on MySpace in 2007 “Crank That”, Soulja Boy later released the album “Souljaboytellem.com” later the same year to negative reviews. Most critics pointed out the repetitive nature of the songs and the lack of any real lyricism. Soulja boy had some more success in the following years, but quickly turned into a relic of the bygone MySpace rap era. Tune in to see if “Souljaboytellem.com” is better than you remember or if critics were right and the album holds no place in the post MySpace era

The 8th episode of One Last Breath has your hosts discussing the first and only (so far) album by wrestling legend Hulk Hogan. In what can best be described as a kids novelty album, it really contains most facets of popular music from the 80’s/early 90’s. There’s some Glam Metal/Hard Rock songs, some rap tunes, some R&B/Pop songs, and even a country song. As expected the album is filled with over the top 80’s cheese and plenty of laugh out loud moments. Hulk Hogan also might have possibly lied about a fan dying so he could write a gospel ballad about him. Tune in this week to see if Hulk Rules converted your hosts to Hulkamaniacs, or if it’s almost as shameful as most of Hulk Hogans personal life. Hell yeah brothers!!
