Hype is a dangerous thing in metal. Sometimes you’re excited for a release that ends up falling flat, and sometimes you’re already nervous about an album—only to be proven right. In this episode, Collin and Tom take on six albums that left them disappointed, frustrated, or just scratching their heads. And yes, there are some hot takes that will get people talking.
From Sleep Token’s Even in Arcadia leaving Tom unsatisfied, to an underwhelmed Collin with A View from the Top of the World, an overhyped Evolution of Disturbed and a controversial take on Slipknot’s We Are Not Your Kind, these are releases that promised more than they gave.
At the end of the day, this episode isn’t just about disappointment—it’s about how fans process hype, expectation, and letdown. Whether you agree or disagree with Collin and Tom, one thing is clear: the only opinion that really matters is your own.
Think we’re right? Think we’re insane? Either way, hit play—this one’s guaranteed to get metalheads talking.
