Metallica: Some Kind of Monster Retrospective - Renegade Jukebox #46

July 08, 2024 by Michael Kaye in Music, Renegade Jukebox

Another Why We Love This Band episode? You know Nick and Mike wouldn't put something like this together for no reason. No, today, July 8th is the 20th anniversary of Metallica's documentary Some Kind Of Monster. And since they're talking about the biggest metal band of all time, they figured why not talk about their back catalog, the subject of this notorious documentary, St. Anger, and what happened afterwards.

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my co-host, the Super Saiyan Death Metal God! There are going to be a lot of important 20th anniversary milestones worth celebrating in 2024, in film, television, and music. This was one that Nick and I, two huge Metallica fans, couldn’t ignore! So without further ado, please tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion.



That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us!

You are absolutely WRONG about Silence In The Snow. Tonight, Nick and Mike cover what might just be the most contentious Trivium album. One mired by circumstance, member changes, and a changing metal scene from the New Wave of American heavy Metal, to the Octane Metalcore and pre-TikTok influencers telling you not to like this album. But actually how is the music on display? Well, listen and hear Nick & Mike defend this gem.

Jukebox returns with the next episode in The Trivium Retrospective, Vengeance Falls. Nick & Mike confessed in the last episode that it had been a long time since either of them actively jammed the album. So how does it hold up? Sit back, relax and get ready to Ooh ah ah ah as Trivium collaborate with David Draiman. (The results fair considerably better than Disturbed last two albums.)

New decade. New rules. New Trivium, figuratively and literally. In Waves is a huge turning point in the band's catalog, one the band insisted was a necessary step to them continuing. Is the album a shower or a grower? Or would we not see what they were going for on later albums? Listen and find out.
