Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

• Episode 242: Torche

  This week we're discussing every album by Torche. This is Alex's final discography with Every Album Ever, so we wanted to go out with a bang and discuss one of the most criminally underrated metal bands ever. Combining sludge and stoner metal with bright riffs and lightning speed, Torche is a band that perfected a style unlike anyone else. Every album rules and you should listen to them immediately.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Torche 16:27 In Return 22:01 Meanderthal 26:26 Songs for Singles 36:13 Harmonicraft 42:49 Restarter 49:41 Admission 1:00:37 Outro 1:12:19   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike's Picks: Meanderthal (2008) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Admission (2019) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Restarter (2015) -- Best Album Harmonicraft (2012) -- Personal Favorite Songs for Singles (2010) -- Worst Record, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

• Episode 241: Jawbox

  This week we're discussing every album by post-hardcore band Jawbox. Formed in Washington DC and opening up for bands like Fugazi, Jawbox--along with Shudder to Think--were one of the Dischord bands signed to a major label in the early 90s. Going back to all of their records today, it's safe to say Jawbox is one of the more criminally underrated bands of the 90s.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Grippe 13:43 Novelty 21:37 For Your Own Special Sweetheart 32:01 Self-titled 47:41 Outro 57:36   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike's Picks: Novelty (1992) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Grippe (1991) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Jawbox (1996) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Grippe (1991) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

• Episode 240: The Damned (Pt. 2)

  This week we're discussing every album by the Damned from 1995 to 2023. This era of the the Damned, while less talked about, features the departure of longtime drummer and founding member Rat Scabies. Without beating around the bush, there are some rough albums here. But it's not unsalvageable!   Intro/Where We Left Off 00:00 Not of This Earth 8:32 Grave Disorder 22:51 So, Who's Paranoid? 35:48 Evil Spirits 44:41 Darkadelic 55:14 Outro 1:01:44   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Grave Disorder (2001) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Not of This Earth (1995) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Grave Disorder (2001) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Evil Spirits (2018) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

• Episode 239: Turbonegro

  This week we're discussing every album by Turbonegro. Formed in the late 80s in Norway, Turbonegro has carved out their own unique and silly niche in punk. Raunchy lyrics, makeup, sailor hats, and an endless supply of denim are their most consistent themes. Not to mention having made a name for themselves by being featured in various Jackass related shows (Jackass Number 2, Wildboyz, Viva La Bam). However, despite the band's fun aesthetics, we're not fans of their music. Thus, we have incited the wrath of the Turbojugend.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Hot Cars and Spent Contraceptives 20:24 Never Is Forever 33:07 Ass Cobra 41:03 Apocalypse Dudes 51:15 Scandinavian Leather 1:05:37 Party Animals 1:14:03 Retox 1:25:52 Sexual Harassment 1:33:48 RockNRoll Machine 1:39:53 Outro 1:48:29   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike's Picks: Apocalypse Dudes (1998) -- Best Album Hot Cars and Spent Contraceptives (1992) -- Personal Favorite RockNRoll Machine (2018) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Ass Cobra (1996) -- Best Album Hot Cars and Spent Contraceptives (1992) -- Personal Favorite Party Animals (2005) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

• Episode 238: Blind Idiot God

  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.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 S/T 15:24 Undertow 33:30 Cyclotron 48:49 Before Ever After 1:08:08 Outro 1:24:01   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Before Ever After (2015) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Blind Idiot God (1987) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Undertow (1988) -- Best Album Before Ever After (2015) -- Worst Album, Personal Favorite Cyclotron (1992) -- Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...
