In this week's episode, Matt and Ryan take a look at the 2001 album from System of a Down called Toxicity. This record was the big break for the group featuring singles "Chop Suey!", "Toxicity", and "Aerials". The group themselves are often held in high regard within the Numetal due their insturmental dynamism and the vocal range of Serj Tankian. Check out what the guys have to say about the album!

In this week's episode, Matt and Ryan take a look at the 1996 album from Toledo called Fishnets & Cigarettes. The band Toledo is fronted by choreographer-turned-vocalist Toledo Diamond. The group lays down a wall of bebop and sinister grooves that Toledo croones within. The album plays as acid jazz that has themes of cocktails, call girls and varied psychoses. Even if you aren't familiar with the group, check out what the guys have to say about the album!
