Probot – Probot (2004)

May 10, 2024

I remember this coming out like it was yesterday, which in hindsight makes me feel real fucking old! Looking at this now, at this insane cast of characters – this fucking STACKED release filled with incredible guest spots – it makes me realise I didn’t have a fucking clue what I was talking about when it came to metal in 2004. I thought I was the bees knees but I didn’t know shit, clearly.

Anyway, this fucking rules. The production is fantastic. Proper solid stuff. Fucking shout out to Dave Grohl for playing every single instrument on this thing. I’m not the biggest fan of his bands but props are due where props are due. I could go track by track on this thing but honestly every song slaps. I’m not too fussed on the King Diamond track, the Jack Black track or the Mike Dean track but otherwise every other collab is incredible.

A fantastic album.
