Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

Release Date: 06/10/2025

Episode 231: Killdozer show art Episode 231: Killdozer

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing every album by Killdozer. Made up of Michael Gerald, and Bill and Dan Hobson, Killdozer is without question one of the funniest sludge metal/noise rock bands in history. Satirical and over the top, but with no shortage of incredibly hard hitting riffs. Easily one of Touch & Go Records' most underrated bands that you should listen to immediately.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Intellectuals Are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite 11:49 Snakeboy 20:51 Burl EP 33:24 Little Baby Buntin' 35:08 Twelve Point Buck 42:53 Uncompromising War on Art Under the...

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're tying up some loose ends by discussing Let God Sort Em Out, the newest album by hip-hop duo Clipse. This is not a reunion we saw coming and to be completely honest, half of the reason we're even covering it is because of how much Mike hates Clipse. (We covered all of their albums on episode 56). However, this album completely surprised us.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon   Merch   Mike’s EP: Pander Monkey on , , ,   Mike on Instagram  Alex on Bluesky ...

Episode 230: Sonic Youth (Pt. 2) show art Episode 230: Sonic Youth (Pt. 2)

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing the remaining albums by Sonic Youth. This era covers everything from 1994 until their breakup in 2011. Aside from a couple of exceptions, not many of their most well known albums are in this era, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of worth here. Even though Sonic Youth isn't a band for everyone, they have a style that is unmistakable and continued to push themselves until the very end.   Intro/Era Overview 00:00 Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star 12:17 Washing Machine 28:39 A Thousand Leaves 39:32 NYC Ghosts & Flowers 51:26 Murray Street 1:03:30...

Episode 229: Placebo show art Episode 229: Placebo

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing every album by Placebo. While they can be considered a fairly niche band, Placebo has had massive widespread appeal and success since the mid 90s. However, we call BS on the legitimacy of their albums as the years go on. Needless to say, they're not exactly our band.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Placebo 21:28 Without You I'm Nothing 32:10 Black Market Music 44:31 Sleeping with Ghosts 1:03:15 Meds 1:11:01 Battle for the Sun 1:19:22 Loud Like Love 1:29:29 Never Let Me Go 1:39:50 Outro 1:49:39   ...

Episode 228: Daniel Striped Tiger show art Episode 228: Daniel Striped Tiger

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing every album by Daniel Striped Tiger. Named after the puppet from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, Daniel Striped Tiger is a ferocious post-hardcore band from Boston. This is the first time Mike and Alex have heard the band and let's just say they were delighted. We might be biased here on this podcast, but this band never went wrong throughout their entire career.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Reflecting on Brent Hinds's Death 4:26 More Band History 10:03 Condition 20:14 Capital Cities 36:41 Certain Stuff 49:51 No Difference 1:01:42 Outro 1:08:54   ...

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing every album by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282. Let's just get this out of the way now: you probably haven't heard of this band, but that needs to change today. TFUL 282 are one of the smartest and most creatively gifted bands in history. Noisy, silly, beautiful, and wildly technical at times. If you have even a passing interest in 90s rock then strap in for some of the wackiest and most incredible albums ever made.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Wormed by Leonard 26:41 Ranting About Ticketmaster 42:44 Tangle 49:19 Lovelyville 59:53 Mother of All Saints...

MAD! by Sparks | Album Review show art MAD! by Sparks | Album Review

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

Today we're discussing MAD!, the latest album by Sparks. We love Sparks and the simple fact that Ron and Russell Mael are still making records over 50 years into their career is amazing. While MAD! may not be our favorite Sparks record ever, it still has all the charm you'd hope to expect from one, not to mention their delightfully quirky lyrics.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon   Merch   Mike’s EP: Pander Monkey on , , ,   Mike on Instagram  Alex on Bluesky Tom on...

Episode 226: Wild Nothing show art Episode 226: Wild Nothing

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing every album by Wild Nothing. This band is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Jack Tatum, and if you're at all familiar with indie/synth wave/dream pop then you already have a pretty good idea how these albums sound. Unfortunately, Wild Nothing joins the ranks of bands we have no business talking about and that we never want to hear ever again.    Intro 00:00 Comments on Ozzy's Death 6:07 Band Overview 11:17 Gemini 21:32 Golden Haze EP 35:48 Nocturne 44:44 Empty Estate EP 59:42 Life of Pause 1:09:12 Indigo 1:25:08 Hold 1:39:14 Outro 2:07:18   ...

Motherfucker, I Am Both... by Shearling | Album Review show art Motherfucker, I Am Both... by Shearling | Album Review

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing Motherfucker, I Am Both: "Amen" and "Hallelujah"..., the debut album by experimental band Shearling. Let's not beat around the bush here; this album is absolutely insane. While the band is clearly influenced by post rock and noise rock, the result is something out of a nightmare and should approached with the utmost caution. Not only is this one of the most ambitious albums of the year, but also one of the most intense we've ever covered on the show.   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...

More by Pulp | Loose Ends show art More by Pulp | Loose Ends

Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're tying up some loose ends by discussing More, the reunion album by Pulp. It's been over five years since Mike and Alex covered every single album by Pulp (back on episode 44) so they definitely weren't expecting an album full of brand new material. Mike came out of that episode a fan while Alex did not. However, this album just shook things up and now they're flipped on the matter.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon   Merch   Mike’s EP: Pander Monkey on , , ,  ...

This week we're discussing Lucro Sucio, the latest album by The Mars Volta. It's been three years since the Volta surprised us with their self-titled reunion album in 2022, and now Lucro Sucio shows the band even less predictable than ever. This easily has some of their most deep and psychedelic production. However, we still have problems with the album as a whole.
