Every Album Ever w/ Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we’re discussing every album by D’Angelo. Don’t let his over the top sensual music video for “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” turn you off (or on), D’Angelo is the R&B artist to convert any skeptics. Jazz, hip hop, soul, funk, and brilliant collabs with Questlove and J Dilla. A truly fantastic songwriter and performer. I hope you all have spare underwear ready.Closing track: “1000 Deaths” from Black Messiah (2014)Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike’s EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @everyalbumalexTom @tomosmansoundsHistory Tom’s stuff:Music on Spotify, ApplePodcast on Spotify, YouTubeSubstackWebsiteMike’s Picks:Black Messiah (2014) — Best AlbumBrown Sugar (1995) — Personal FavoriteVoodoo (2005) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex’s Picks:Voodoo (2000) — Best AlbumBlack Messiah (2014) — Personal FavoriteBrown Sugar (1995) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…Brown Sugar (1995)Voodoo (2000)Black Messiah (2014)

This week we’re discussing “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD,” the latest album by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. For those familiar with the band, this album (and its lengthy and political title) will not surprise you. However, that is far from a bad thing. “NO TITLE…” shows the band as heartbreaking, beautiful, and dynamic as ever. Godspeed rarely disappoints, and this album is no different.Closing track: “GREY RUBBLE — GREEN SHOOTS”Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike’s EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @everyalbumalexTom @tomosmansoundsHistory Tom’s stuff:Music on Spotify, ApplePodcast on Spotify, YouTube, AppleSubstackWebsite

This week we’re discussing every album by alternative rock band Soul Asylum. Most people know them because of the Grammy-winning “Runaway Train.” But they actually started out as a wild Minneapolis punk band alongside The Replacements and Hüsker Dü. However, they quickly became a very straightforward rock band. Fans of the band beware, this is a brutal episode.Closing track: “Another World, Another Day” from Made to Be Broken (1986)Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike’s EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @everyalbumalexTom @tomosmansoundsHistory Tom’s stuff:Music on Spotify, ApplePodcast on Spotify, YouTubeSubstackWebsiteMike’s Picks:Say What You Will… (1984) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteLet Your Dim Light Shine (1995) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex’s Picks:Made to Be Broken (1986) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteThe Silver Lining (2006) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…Say What You Will… (1984)Made to Be Broken (1986)While You Were Out (1986)Hang Time (1988)And the Horse They Rode in On (1990)Grave Dancers Union (1992)Let Your Dim Light Shine (1995)Candy from a Stranger (1998)The Silver Lining (2006)Delayed Reaction (2012)Change of Fortune (2016)Hurry Up and Wait (2020)Slowly but Shirley (2024)

This week we’re tying up some loose ends by discussing Merciless, the latest album by Body Count. Led by the legendary Ice-T and high school friend Ernie C, Body Count is back with another intensely brutal thrash album. After winning a Grammy for 2020’s Carnivore, Merciless shows the band as heavy and charming as ever. Plus we got some guests on here, including Cannibal Corpse’s Corpsegrinder, Max Cavalera, and believe or not, David Gilmour. Check out our previous episodes on Carnivore and Body Count’s full discography (episode 9).Closing track: “Psychopath”Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike’s EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @everyalbumalexTom @tomosmansoundsHistory Tom’s stuff:Music on Spotify, ApplePodcast on Spotify, YouTube, AppleSubstackWebsite
