[BONUS] Talking Sophomore Slump
🕑 Added 2024-01-12 20:30:02 +0000 UTCWe're joined by Maxton Waller as the group talks about Butthole Ricochet's album Sophomore Slump! We talk about the writing, rehearsal, and recording process. We're also including the original demos for songs (including an unused demo!) attached to this post!
Beth's inspiration/references playlist for the album can be found here!
(Note: This recording started late and ran late, so Anthony had to dip out part way through)

My favorite AC/DC song is no longer Dirty D and the Thunder Chief:/
RavenRush
As an avid metal listener, Potato goes SOOOOOOO hard!!! Catch me in the pit with that one!
Hazel the Dog
If we can’t get Beth performing this live, could we get Maxton performing “Alright” or “On My Way?” 🙏🏼
Jamie Prest
Freddie and Maxton should legit start a band
Jelly_Wizzard
physical release please :$
Milo Edelman
i would unironically buy a vinyl with this album on it and play it
Ethan Trehus
So when are you gonna press this into vinyl?

I don't know if they were directly referencing this article or came to the same concept separately, but for anyone who's interested in the "pop punk accent" thing, this article is great: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/i-made-a-linguistics-professor-listen-to-a-blink-182-song-and-analyze-the-accent

Would love to hear Maxton on a one shot with the rest of the group - he has a great vibe and fits right in
jamie
sorry to ruin matts theory but i don't like potatoes
Tegan
Literally loved this album so much I’ve been opening the Files app like a psychopath every day just to listen again, if Beth has no fans I’m dead
Juliet
It was wonderful ^_^
Erick Contreras
I'm DYING to get a Dead and Gone guitar solo tutorial from Freddie
Maxine Bailey
Don't worry Will I like Rocks Rock more
Malory McVicker
The Beth version of Rogues Gallery isn't in the Demo file. Could you include it please?
Gilles Volluz
Definitely a great album, very Frank Turner, with a hint of Shane McGowan in the voice, and a ton of Scary in the feelings. Impressive.
Kuko Creations
I think a lot of the musical influences that Scary would've been inspired by would've been considered "classic rock" by the time she was born, so it makes sense that her influences would be all over the spectrum of rock music.

This whole album goes so hard - major pop punk fan and still an emo at heart, and this hits all the right spots!
AliceAliceAlice
welp. not me bawling openly at work after listening to this demo lol
Gabriela Cortes Canchola
As Avenged Sevenfold fans, me and my partner’s were head banging to the metal song
Gail
Absolutely loving the demos, oh man. I keep listening to the no vocals demo of Potato (thanks for that, I love listening to instrumentals and being able to appreciate things I wouldn't otherwise notice!) and I realized that there's some bits in it that remind me of the dungeon theme in the very first Legend of Zelda from the NES. It's probably unintentional but a fun continuation of what could be a tradition started by the Gerudo Valley bit in Cummingtonite hahaha!

Doing a love song for Hermie as a goof and releasing it after his death is honestly very on brand for him 😬🥲
Amanda Kissel
Date T.Swift and you’re gonna get a song about you. Be in a Scary song and you’re gonna die.
Amanda Kissel
The second I heard it, I was like, “Totally modern Annie. I love this.”
Abby W
The metal song is fantastic (from an avenged sevenfold fan)
Sand2Stone
Alternate timeline where Beth commits to Scary going full Dear Hermie Hansen after his death
Zach
The fact that the drummer off sets his kicks is beyond insanity and I play heavy drums 🤯🤯🤯 mad props
Chantelle Black
Okay but please release the demos as Taylor's Version
Jacuzzi Jesus
Obsessed with Dead Mom being on the inspo Playlist
Stephen Belsky
This was AMAZING and helped me appreciate the songs even more! Also thanks for telling us about the cool indestructable anti-social-media-addiction CAT flip phone, Will!
Jaden J
Not calling this talking butthole was a missed opprotunity! Hahaha Also the whole like finding yourself in a varied sonically album reminds me of Olivia rodrigo and her genre shifting! It's totally a thing!
james carter
Beth. Its illegal to be this talented at everything.
Matt
This really is becoming a dads podcast
Matt
*gasp* “Does it do email?” “Oh yeah it’ll do email in a pinch”

Unfortunately CAT is a target of the BDS campaign as they have a long history of providing equipment to Israel to use for home demolitions and building of illegal settlements. It was a CAT bulldozer that killed Rachel Corrie in 2003. Although it is a divestment target rather than a consumer boycott target, I imagine that’s because most individual consumers don’t purchase from CAT. To anyone looking to buy a new phone, I would highly recommend looking at alternatives! https://www.instagram.com/p/C1wm2RWM2BS/?igsh=MXZ3aGRkdXFtZzdieQ== https://investigate.afsc.org/company/caterpillar
Brynnah
AW! Maxton we fans also love you!
Brynnah
Yes! So glad that Beth said it was Annie inspired cuz I was like nooo, that can’t be it
DanDeLion
The issue with this album is that when ever I listen to a different album I'm like "hmm I could be getting my slump on in a sophomore way right now"
SpecDad
so next ep the 16th?
hal
there was a talking rocks bonus if you mean that https://www.patreon.com/posts/40279608
Masha Beletsky
PLEASE do establish this as a pattern 🙏🏻 I live for these EPs ❤️
Creekie05
This might be a dumb question but did rocks rock get this treatment too?
Zack Houser
Hot take: Will plays sax. The season 3 album should be ska.
Zachary Rico
Why dose Maxton sound just like Arnie Niekamp from “Hello from the magic tavern” or is it just me?
Lazaretto
PLEASE release the unused demo of Secret Admirer that Freddy did omfg its SO GOOD
Paeden Did Nothing Wrong
Seriously started looking at how to get one in Europe after hearing them talking about it
Invader Jimm
As a lifelong metal head, that riff is stankface approved 🤘
Austin Sharp
Freddy if you post sheets of the guitar solo I will learn it on a marimba

I love Beth instantly getting competitive with Will about coming up with episode titles and creating an album. We just need Will to say he’s gonna solve world peace and Beth will simply do it.
