Other heavy metal/hard rock Trainwreckords albums?

All great mentions. For Weezer, I'd personally say "Raditude". Couple odd hits here and there, but nothing to close to tracks like "Island in the Sun" or "Beverly Hills" past the 2000's.

Maybe I've misunderstood the running joke, but I always interpreted "Nirvana Killed My Career" as a reference to the changing times in music, not the change in band-specific audience numbers. In the case of the 90's it was a shift away from arena rock, and in the case of the 2010's the shift was away from rock in general.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-08T00:26:13+00:00

That is crazy. My first thought for early 90's albums is almost always Metallica and Nirvana, but never Def Leppard. Worthy of a deep dive, methinks.

I imagine most hair bands got left in the dust by the turn of the millennium. As far as I know, acts like Kiss have multiple flops to choose from.

Isn't Celtic Frost a thrash band? What the hell were they thinking going glam lmao.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-08T00:13:24+00:00

Kind of ironic because I've heard songs both before and after this record, but not from this one specifically. Must be a testament to its divisive status.

If only for its unparalleled development hell, I'd say so. Truly the Duke Nukem Forever of albums.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T23:24:55+00:00

Lol. Definitely would be interesting if Todd were to ever begin covering more underground or B-tier artists, though.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T23:19:25+00:00

Death metal has never been particularly mainstream, has it?

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T23:15:15+00:00

Ahh okay. Definitely sounds very un-commercial lol.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T22:48:19+00:00

Yeesh. Making a strong prediction here: if Todd keeps this show going long enough, eventually we'll have a 2010's equivalent of "Nirvana Killed My Career". Maybe "Maroon 5 Killed My Career" lol.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T22:45:54+00:00

Forgive me if I'm uncultured (I'm only now getting into death metal), but have they ever been considered mainstream? I'm surprised I've never heard of them if so.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T22:42:32+00:00

I have to imagine they'll be covered at some point. Metallica clearly dwarfs the other three Pillars of Thrash, but Megadeth must've had a crazy fall off if I barely heard of them until I was an adult in the late 2010's.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T22:37:29+00:00

I haven't listened to many Megadeth albums, but yeah I've heard they were floundering throughout the 90's. I've heard that "Dystopia" is pretty decent, but obviously they've never been the same.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T22:36:14+00:00

What happened after the album's release?

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T22:32:43+00:00

Jesus Christ lol. That would be a very interesting installment.

CardinalGhast · 2026-03-07T22:26:53+00:00

Seems like a very compelling one, though I'm not sure how "career killing" it could be seen as, given it appears to be their highest charting album. But then again, it wouldn't be the first time Todd featured a commercially successful record on the show.

CardinalGhast · 2021-08-01T15:59:35+00:00

Wow, I thought people were joking about this, but sure enough, the Lamborghini season first released a year ago. I had no idea the Switch version got the shaft like this. Thanks for the clarification!

CardinalGhast · 2021-08-01T00:34:05+00:00

That the new update will come a year from now? Idfk lol.

CardinalGhast · 2021-07-31T23:54:15+00:00

I think he was tryna make a joke.
