Ranking the Best Albums of 2024

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

Release Date: 12/31/2024

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing every album by Eyehategod. From New Orleans, Eyehategod are one of the most quintessential sludge metal bands that exists. Led by vocalist Mike IX Williams and guitarist Jimmy Bower, this band has been through hell since their formation in 1988. But they're still going strong after being wrecked with drug abuse, incarceration, and death. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patreon Merch Mike’s EP: Pander Monkey on , , , Mike on Instagram Alex on...

Loose Ends | The World Is Still Here and So Are We by mclusky

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're tying up some loose ends by discussing the world is still here and so are we, the reunion album by mclusky. This is a reunion neither of us saw coming, but is shaping up to be one of the most memorable musical moments of the year. If you're a mclusky fan, chances are you won't be disappointed by this album. It's as fun, wild, and unpredictable as we've come to expect from these guys. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patreon Merch Mike’s EP: Pander Monkey on , , ,...

Episode 218: Green on Red

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing every album by Green on Red. Let's not beat around the bush here. We hated this band and if we had any idea what they sounded like before this episode, we wouldn't have agreed to do it. It's our fault, honestly. But we listened to every album thoroughly regardless. They're a country rock band led by Dan Stuart and that's about all you need to know. Enter with caution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patreon Merch Mike’s EP: Pander Monkey on , , , ...

Lonely People with Power by Deafheaven | Album Review

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing Lonely People with Power, the latest album by Deafheaven. We've been massive fans of Deafheaven for years, but 2021's Infinite Granite had us split down the middle. Lonely People with Power shows the band returning to black metal in a massive way, shattering any assumptions people may have had that they are now a full-blown shoegaze band. Once again Deafheaven proves they are more than capable songwriters and continue to experiment in innovative ways. Crank this one. ...

Loose Ends | Thunderball by Melvins 1983

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we’re discussing Thunderball, the latest album by Melvins. Technically, this was released as Melvins 1983, which has the band’s very first drummer, Mike Dillard, on drums instead of Dale Crover. Thunderball also features experimental musicians Void Manes and Ni Maitres lending electronic contributions. If you’re a fan of the early 90s sludge era of Melvins, then this is the album for you.

This week we’re ranking our favorite new albums of 2024. We say this every year, but this really was an incredible year for music and insanely difficult for us to narrow down our favorites.
