Episode 238: Blind Idiot God
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing every album by Blind Idiot God. Led by guitarist and main songwriter Andy Hawkins, Blind Idiot God is an instrumental prog, noise rock, metal, hard rock, dub reggae band. Yes, you read that correctly. These guys are out of their freakin' minds and there is absolutely no other band in the world that sounds anything like them.

Episode 237: Nine Inch Nails
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing every album by Nine Inch Nails. Made up solely of Trent Reznor (and later on Atticus Ross), NIN is a band that we've all heard and most likely already enjoy quite a bit. Whether we're loudly screaming the lyrics to "Closer" at family gatherings or just rolling around in mud in our free time, Nine Inch Nails is a band that no one isn't familiar with. However, we haven't heard all of their albums until now. Intro 00:00 Show Announcement 13:25 Band Overview 16:32 Pretty Hate Machine 18:23 Broken EP 37:42 The Downward Spiral 45:25 The Fragile 1:00:58 With Teeth...

private music by Deftones | Album Review
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing private music, the latest album by Deftones. This band needs no introduction and has rarely disappointed over the course of their career since the late 90s. People are raving about this new album, but Mike and Alex are split on it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patreon Merch Mike’s EP: Pander Monkey on , , , Mike on Instagram Alex on Bluesky Tom on Instagram History Tom’s stuff: Music on , Podcast on ...

Episode 236: The Damned (Pt. 1)
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing every album by The Damned from 1977 to 1986. Pioneers of punk (and goth to a degree), The Damned are a band more talented and even more insane than most others. They defined the chaos of first generation punk in the late 70s, yet still managed to put out some of the most legendary albums of the era. Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies, and Brian James, before his departure, left a legacy filled with speed, booze, and countless memorable riffs.

Episode 235: Women
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing every album by Women. From Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Women are a right-down-the-middle-split between indie garage rock and noisy prog rock, with almost nothing in the middle. Made up of Patrick Flegel (guitar, vocals), Matt Flegel (bass, vocals), Mike Wallace (drums), and Christopher Reimer (guitar). The band struggled in their existence, despite their acclaimed second album, Public Strain and broke up due to an onstage fight. Reimer tragically died unexpectedly two years later.

Episode 234: Magazine
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing every album by Magazine. Led by vocalist Howard Devoto and guitarist John McGeoch (before he left to join Siouxsie and the Banshees), Magazine is one of the most underrated punk bands to come out of England in the late 70s. Their style, which was in large part characterized by prominent synths, was unlike any other band at the time. Best of all, the songs still hold up today. Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Real Life 7:22 Secondhand Daylight 20:13 The Correct Use of Soap 33:40 Books and Movie Adaption Talk 41:42 John McGeoch's Departure 45:40 Magic, Murder and the...

Episode 233: ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing every album by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Led by core members Conrad Keely and Jason Reece (who both trade off between drums, guitars and vocals), Trail of Dead is one of the most fun and ambitious post-hardcore bands around. And although they have a trademark sound, they've continued to evolve and expand their sound in countless ways. Dig it. Intro 00:00 (The Episodes Are Back Up Now) 13:31 Band Overview 17:46 ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead 25:16 Madonna 38:21 Source Tags & Codes 49:24 Worlds Apart 1:03:47 So Divided...

Episode 232: Cardiacs
Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
This week we're discussing every album by the completely insane Cardiacs. If you aren't familiar with this band, then you're going to need to take a seat and prepare yourself. Led by the late Tim Smith and his brother Jim, Cardiacs are a prog band like no other in existence. You just have to hear them. Their final album, LSD, was just released after almost 20 years of painstaking writing, recording, and devastating health problems. This is one of our most requested bands and one that will stay with us for years to come. Intro/Band Overview 00:00 The Seaside 20:57 Songs for Ships and...

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...

Let God Sort Em Out by Clipse | Loose Ends
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 ...
info_outlineThis 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.
