2 Twins & An Album

Episode 56 - Creed 'My Own Prison'

Nubs leads the discussion and review of Creed’s 1997 album 'My Own Prison' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

 

Hey guyyys -- let's get serious here.  Really, really, really serious.  As we dive into the pain and agony of late 90’s Florida rock ‘n roll.  And, in between making fun of this pain and agony a bit, we strive to answer the following:  Why did the fellas take a week off?  Who does the better Scott Stapp impression?  Is Toph still salty at Nubs about last week’s episode?  What’s hotter, a girl who likes Creed or a girl who likes Rush…even though the latter doesn’t exist?  Did J.J. Fad have any good album cuts?  What is really in Heinz 57 sauce?  And, beyond those questions, we recount the rare moment where Nubs escorted Topper to a concert and all he wanted to do is leave.  Let’s try and take each other Higher.  Join us.

And two, two, two for our (weird) family...

And three, three, three for our heartache (or is it a toothache, hard to tell)...

And four, four, four for our headaches (Nubs always gives people headaches we understand)...

And five, five, five for our loneliness (actually no way being alone rules)...

And six, six, six for our sorrow (just kidding we are mostly happy guys)...

And seven, seven for n--, n--, n--, no tomorrow (pumped for tomorrow, it's Saturday)...

And eight, eight (crap) WE FORGOT WHAT EIGHT WAS FOR!...

But nine, nine, nine for the lost gods (ooh spooky)...

Ten, Ten, Ten, Ten...for EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING!

Tune in as Nubs compares this album to a big budget film HINT: 80's overpriced, overproduced western...Toph compares this album to a medium budget film HINT: Indiana basketball and tons of drum machines...and, the gents both marvel that this decade, and its triumphant final track, are three decades old.
