Ep3. Joey Jordison Tribute and Art Album Debate

Ep 3 w/Robert Rabel. Recorded August 13th, 2021.

 

00:00 Intro

02:20 Joey Jordison Tribute  

41:00 Art Album Debate 

 

Robert and I discuss Joey Jordison's impact, influence, and untouchable legacy.  I believe he should be considered the Tony Williams or Stewart Copeland of metal drumming. Truly one of the greats that will be remembered for decades to come. 

 

What is an "Art Album" ? 

Robert and I unpack this and propose several different candidates.  I feel an art album has several possible features 

- It is a pivot from the artist's previous work

- it is often polarizing for the fanbase

- If it's a commercial success it is often seen as a "sellout"

- If their career survives then they can do whatever they want
