This week on the Roach Koach podcast we’re just happy to be here, as we listen to Staind’s 2011 self-titled album. Helping out Lorin and Matt is JD from the How I Got Tinnitus podcast. JD explains his own history with Staind and helps guide Lorin and Matt through an album some have called “A timeless masterpiece.” Topics this episode include:

-Reassessing “Mudshovel”

-Bands as a business

-The Making of documentary

-Does the fanbase want rippers?

-Staind during the apocalypse

-The Chainsing of all Chainsings

-Definition of a rim job

-And Canon Talk, where Lorin, Matt, and JD decide if Staind deserve a place in the Nu-Metal Canon. Take a listen!
