B.O.N.U.S. Kast #20: "Waste of Skin" by Spike 1000 (Patreon)

It's our 20th bonus episode and it's got a few different things going for it: one, we are reviewing a regular album. Listener Holiday Kirk is extremely passionate about this release from 2001, a one-off from a band that broke up less than 2 years after its release, and he knew it would never make a poll, so he suggested we review it. And so two, we did, and in our sort of usual format for an album review: no guest, just us, chopping it up on the Spike 1000 album that poses the question, "what if a band probably really should have made it big in the nu-metal era, but didn't?"

We don't hear a ton about near-misses in nu-metal simply because the genre didn't last long enough to have them. But Spike 1000's "Waste of Skin"--released on September 11, 2001--is as close as we have to a nu-metal "what if?" and we break it all down here.
