One Last Breath: An Autopsy of Awful Albums

• Sex and Violins - Rednex

  In today’s episode of One Last Breath, your will be covering the debut album “Sex and Violins” by Swedish techno country group Rednex. The debut for the group contains their only claim to fame; the inescapable Cotton Eye Joe. The song was sensation and is perhaps the most enduring hit from the 90’s or even of all time. One you get past that track however, there’s an entire album of lazy dance inspired country to sink into. The album itself was widely panned by critics and was so forgettable that most people would be surprised to learn that Rednex still performs and sometimes releases new music to this day. Did Rednex deserve to be a one hit wonder? Did they actually write some overlooked gems? Tune in this week to find out!

• California - Blink 182

  In this weeks episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the album “California” by pop punk OG’s Blink-182. After founding vocalist/guitarist Tom DeLonge had left the band, Blink-182 found themselves with the hard decision of replacing him. They decided on Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio to lead the band into a new era. The whole situation was met with tons of differing opinions from Blink’s fan base. Some were optimistic of the prospect of Alkaline Trio’s style combing with Blink’s. Some just simply couldn’t imagine Blink without DeLonge in the forefront. The first product of the Skiba era was California, which for the most part was a straight forward summertime pop-punk album. It was met with mostly positive reviews from critics, with some finding annoyance with the over production and formulaic songwriting. The fans however were more critical, and just didn’t consider that this Skiba era was the real Blink-182. After another album “Nine” with Skiba, DeLonge rejoined the band and released the comeback album “One More Time.” making the Skiba era just a minor detour in the bands long history. Is California far more hated than it deserves to be? Or is it rightfully looked at as misstep in the legendary Blink-182’s career? Tune in to find out!

• Results May Vary - Limp Bizkit

  In the 25th episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the 4th album by everyone’s favorite nu-metal band: Limp Bizkit. The album in question is “Results May Vary,” a release that found the band without long time guitarist Wes Borland. The problem is, Borland’s guitar playing is considered a key component for the Limp Bizkit formula, so the absence of him was felt by many. Results May Vary is a very apt title, as many critics and fans alike noted the overbloated track listing, which contains too many meandering tracks and weak songwriting. Also within the album is their cover of “Behind Blue Eyes” by the Who; which was a commercially successful single, but is a point of contention among fans. Is Results May Vary really Bizkits weakest effort? Are there perhaps some hidden gems to be found under the surface? Tune in this week to find out!

• Smart Kids - Mcgruff the Crime Dog

  n the 23rd episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss children’s novelty album “Smart Kids” by McGruff the Crime Dog. McGruff was an icon of the 1980’s “Just Say No” campaign, quickly becoming one of the most recognizable pop culture figures of the era appearing in countless ad campaigns. Inevitably, an album was made to further expose McGruff to the masses. Smart Kids made a resurgence on TikTok a while back, with everyone poking fun at the sheer absurdity of hearing an anthropomorphic dog sing about crack cocaine to an 80’s pop tune. Tune in this week to hear your hosts dig deeper into this surprisingly competent and insanely catchy moment of American pop culture.

• Volume 8: The Threat Is Real - Anthrax

  On the 23rd episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the 8th album by Thrash Metal big four member Anthrax titled “Volume 8: The Threat Is Real.” Anthrax, while being the least popular of the big four, carved out a very influential and noteworthy career for themselves. After putting out classic albums such as “Spreading the Disease” and “Among the Living,” Anthrax found themselves at a crossroads when lead singer Joey Belladonna was fired from the band in 1992. They hired singer John Bush of Armored Saint and tried their hand at a more grunge oriented style. A couple of albums later Anthrax found themselves at the critical low of their career in 1998 with Volume 8. Most point out the uninspired and generic song writing, and the lack of success the band has in adapting to the changing metal scene. Is this the weakest moment of Anthrax’s career? Is it actually an underrated mid career thrash gem? Tune in this week to find out!
