ALBUMMER! 18: Fieldy's Dreams (featuring Jess O'Brien)

This week on Albummer! we're joined by Giant Bomb's own Jess O'Brien (aka Voidburger) to talk about Korn bassist Fieldy's first solo album, Rock'n Roll Gangster. Apparently, he regrets making it almost as much as we regretted listening to it. The dream is collapsing.

The crew behind Two Minutes to Late Night are here to re-review some of the most critically reviled albums out there!

It's amazing that this is somehow WORSE than Head's solo christian metal album.

This show has grown on me a lot. Not enough to bring myself to listen along with the albums, but still.

Re: actually Cheech or not, let's not forget he appeared on the bonus track on Korn's Follow the Leader to help them cover his own song from one of the C&C movies. I assume that was totally him on Fieldy's album.

I was a Korn fan for like a year in 4th grade and wanted to play bass like Fieldy.

Fieldy came in to the whole foods I work at the first week we opened.

I pretended I didnt, but clearly did, recognize him

I've never heard this album, despite hearing so much about it.

I can say that once after a Korn concert, we saw Head show up at Denny's. So that was neat.

I listened to this album today and didn’t mind it, although I admittedly had it on in the background and wasn’t paying too much attention to the lyrics. It’s not good by any stretch of the imagination, but there’s a level of crappiness to it that I found endearing.

Loving the GB crew as guests, Jeff B and Jess have both been great. Now you need to get Gerstmann on here.

I don’t understand the appeal of Korn, but I do understand the appeal of this show! It was cool seeing Jess on too. Keep the GB guests coming.

With Jess on this, I am inclined to give Albummer another shot. I hope it leaves a better impression.

Disappointed that Jeff G. wasn’t a guest on this one!

He has been using Fieldys Dreams as a punchline on the bombast since it started.

The one album I did listen to was "2 Legit for the Pit" because I was already somewhat familiar with it (That Throwdown cover, baybee!), but I am glad you are all subjecting yourself to some absolute horrors for our amusement, because you'd need to pay me a sizeable sum to listen to anything Green Day past Shenanigans at this point.

EDIT: Oh, also, casual misogyny, in an album around 2000!? Color me shocked!

Since both Kenny Omega and Megalovania came up in this episode I feel the need to remind everyone of that time Kenny Briefly broke Reddit by coming out to Megalovania dressed as Sans.

Good episode, as usual.

I listened to a lot of Korn around the time this came out, but for some reason i never got around listening to it. Turns out, i would have been okay not listening to it for another 20years ;)

Don't you need to get Jeff G. in on this as a Fieldy's Dreams apologist?

If we could get a regular podcast with Katie and Jess that would be great. They could talk about anything and I would listen but but I think Katie teaching Jess about wrestling would be gold

Jeremy's Aalon "married to Grimes" joke was delightful, the fact no one seemed to notice made it even funnier to me.

Was really hoping that they were going to address that the reason why the Korn R is backwards is because they all worked for Toys'R'Us

This was such a fun episode. There was a serious lack of pregnant Goku though, and his absence was definitely noticed. Also, shout-out to Jeremy's sitting corner he was recording from, it looks very nice for sitting

Show good!!! We need to get these guys to do a guest quick look of a music game. Perhaps the new Kid A Mnesia Radiohead thing released on Epic, but either way I'm loving the content!

While I think this was much better than the debut, it's still not my cup of tea. This time I got far enough to hear them dunk on the songs and not just tear the artist apart for their poor reputation. By reciting some truly terrible lyrics and criticizing the performance, it made the roasting feel more meaningful to me. It sounds like everyone is having a good time and as long as other people enjoy it, I got no problem with this.

I admire Jess's ability to match the energy with seemingly any show she's on. I also don't listen to a lot of music outside game soundtracks, but she was on point with the conversation and I was glad everyone recognized how well she blended in.

I might be down to listen to another episode if Jan or Jeff was on. Or if they cover game related music, like the Mortal Kombat album, but I'm sure that's been suggested before.

Im honestly kinda upset Gerstmann wasnt on this episode(not to discredit Voidburger! Jess did great!), if only because he was my introduction to Fieldy's Dreams and i will never ever forgive him for that. I cant remember which one of the drives he listened to that album on but i've never been able to erase the thought of Fieldy's Dreams from my mind.
