Lol KEXP is usually really good for all bands, but Stu actually mixes all of the KGLW KEXP session audio. You can see his name credited at the end of the KEXP videos

So I wanna give u some insight on the story behind the lyrics of this album because this is one of these albums where it really adds to the experience. It's best to think of this record in 2 suites. The first is planet b => superbug. I think of this suite as the exposition to the main story. The planet is trashed, superbugs are raging due to overuse of antibiotics, rich people have abandoned ship and moved to mars, and the people left on earth are in chaos (organ farming and what not) because there is no planet b. Suite 2: is a narrative that moves in chronological order. One event leads to another. This song Venusian 1 is named after a ship called "venusian 1" which all the poor folk left on earth built to move to Venus in hope of a better life. Venus is a hellhole of course. I won't spoil the rest but I encourage you to check the lyrics out at some point, doesn't have to be a reaction.

If you want to see arguably one of Joey’s best solos, check out the live version of Work This Time from Bonnaroo ‘22 I doubt you’ll get to the Oddments album for a long time yet, so you might as well do this track early!

[@itmenobody]

I was in the front row for that show, directly in front of Joey. That performance of Work This Time was life changing.

[@RandyMoonihoawa]

This album is so sick. Venusian 2 is my personal favorite. One thing I like about PDA compared to Rats' Nest is it uses Joey and Ambrose as actual vocalists instead of backing vocals. Joey and Ambrose have great metal voices. I'm hoping they both get songs with lead vocals on their next metal project.

This is the song I always forget about, which is weird because it's really good. This also starts the story part of the album. The first 4 tracks are kind of exposition, rich people fled to mars, poor people on Earth are getting their organs farmed and there's superbug viruses going around. In this track, a group of people make some sort of spaceship and send it towards Venus. Next up is one of my favorite tracks, Perihelion. I prefer the studio version, but it's up to you which one you do on the channel really.

Hope you snagged tickets for tour next year! Definitely recommend if you can to go to more than one show. Seeing them in the flesh is truly special, especially since they feed off of the crowds energy and of course the jams!

[@Moss-Fella]

For the next song, perihelion, I suggest listening to the album version. I honestly think the sound of the album version is better than the live version, but the KEXP version still kicks ass!

[@VicM5_]

Here to second this!

[@maidentallica]

The back half of this album is where it shines for me, V1 > Perihelion > V2 is a quality run of tunes!

[@insideoutghost]

Cavs is double kicking but Eric, the other drummer, just uses a single kick i'm p sure

[@tillzillz]

only when he had his kick drum privileges

[@Amontbeck]

They took his kick drum privileges and then he gave up all drum privileges

[@acmoises]

Great thumbnail for a great video!

[@HollisLopez26]

FYI - theres' a really dope fan-shot live video right when rats nest dropped, in Seoul. This one has Perihelion and Venusian 2. It's super raw. The audio quality is from a phone but it's actually pretty decent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoLckqqXjNSphrM

[@HollisLopez26]

or here's the full concert, where they play all of Rats Nest kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWasoKhmgMdsm9k

commenting for the algorithm because I enjoy your videos 👍

Stu likes to eat the mic and yell into it to drown it out. Makes a cool effect.

[@mysterioushiggs]

I'm one of the people who always says listen to the record first, and even *I* say listen to KEXP when you can. :P lol, they're great. I've never thought you were trashing this album. I think Petro is a step above too. But that isn't saying anything bad about this album, just pointing out how good Petro is.

[@shawnlilly5934]

The next one is my favorite. It feels very king gizz and unique. I think it has a lot of Petro in there. It just needs and Ambrose verse

[@ShineOnBenevolentSun]

The mic that Stu's eating is their own, and its oollldddd. I'd say having their own gear in that studio is one reason they reproduce an album sound so well; it's hard to duplicate the way that vintage gear resonates. But KEXP studio sessions are great for most bands I've seen - they really took care to consult some of the world's best musicians when creating this space and the Sky Church in the Experience Music Project.

[@zeyperson39]

predator x has a callback to the next song perhelion

[@Mellow_Mike_Sup]

@Rockdariff, I think Stu does some mastering to the recorded audio.

[@jasonuzzardo6508]

Stu does the mix at the KEXP sessions!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shadowking6425]

I'm feeling the same about both albums. Love em both. PDA is special though. Another small live venue with EXCELLENT KZbin sessions is 'The SugarShack Sessions' A lot of Reggae bands play there, suggest you check out Iya Terra, Fortunate Youth, and Little Stranger if you dig that sound.
