Now that our full Metallica studio album discography block has concluded, it's time for our second bonus one-off-album episode. Our co-host Alex has chosen one of his top three albums of all time, the 1999 album "Ignorance is Bliss" by So-Cal punk rockers Face to Face, to bring to the table. Can he convince the rest of the group on the greatness of this slept-on, controversial album in Face to Face's catalog? A departure from the normal punk rock/skate-punk style of Face to Face, the band decided to take a chance with "Ignorance is Bliss" to break from the norm and make a dark, layered, atmospheric and orchestrated rock record that diversified the fanbase at the time. Some fans recognize the absolute genius of this record and consider it a masterpiece while others...? Not so much.
