Customer Reviews
Good
This podcast cured me of my elitism. When I began listening to this, I was so happy to hear people talking about music I love. I was however, pretty annoyingly elitist about other music and basically just picture a stereotypical tool fan, that’s me. After enough listening to Perran say he likes Carly Rae Jepsen and also that he likes Primordial, I began to realize there was no reason for me to hate other music, it’s just not for me. Thanks to these fine folks, I no longer say things like “YOUVE NEVER LISTENED TO UNDERGROUND BLACK METAL?!?! YOU DONT LISTEN TO GOOD MUSIC THEN” and instead I say “apologies, but this new Taylor Swift album is not for me, now excuse me while I clean my ears with a quick listen to some Bell Witch”.
Thanks TNM, I’m a better person because of you.
This is not satire
Best Metal pod there is
These lads really know their stuff, and they talk about new music and news with a very objective frame of mind. They’re not afraid to criticize music they don’t like, which makes it mean all that much more when they praise something (just wish they’d talk about American metalcore every once in a while). Consistent episodes every week keep me tuning in. Keep it up!
A refreshing take on modern music
Beez and Hill are the greatest! Love their honest (and often times hilarious) take on music.
