Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour

This week we're discussing every album by The Smalls. From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, The Smalls never got the recognition they deserved. This is likely due to the fact that they're almost impossible to categorize. Equal parts thrash, punk, and post-hardcore, but with a prominent country western influence. Underrated and incredibly unique.

Closing track: "Waste and Tragedy" from Waste and Tragedy (1995)

This week we're discussing Diner Coffee by Mamaleek. There is very little information about this band online, but they're made up of two anonymous brothers who are either from San Francisco, Beirut, or both. Black metal, jazz, and chaotic Jesus Lizard-esque noise rock. This album is insane and you've got to check it out.

Closing track: "Diner Coffee" from Diner Coffee (2022)

This week we're discussing every album by The Doors. Or, more accurately, all the albums with Jim Morrison. This band needs no introduction—Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek, and John Densmore completed the original lineup of one of the most famous bands of all time. Everyone knows the hits, but how well do their full albums hold up?

This week we're discussing our top 5 favorite movie soundtracks. Out of the gate, we already screwed up by not discussing what we meant by "soundtrack" with each other. Because of this, Alex strictly picked his 5 favorite soundtracks while Mike included his all-time favorite movie scores. There is indeed a distinction between the two. Either way, these are all incredible albums that you have to check out, regardless of whether or not you have any interest in their respective film.

Closing track: "Superfly" from Super Fly by Curtis Mayfield

This week we're discussing every album by Shiner. For those who don't know, Shiner started out in the mid 90s as a straightforward but solid post-hardcore band. However, over the course of 4 albums and a recent reunion, they've evolved their sound into all kinds of unpredictable territories. Maybe not for everyone, but any fans of 90s alt rock, post-hardcore, and noise rock should give them a shot ASAP.

This week we're tying up some loose ends by discussing The Mars Volta's new album. It's been 10 years since their last record, Noctourniquet, and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala are back with a vastly different sound than we're used to from them. We have some mixed feelings about it, but we remain optimistic. Be sure to check out our full episode on The Mars Volta, Episode 76.

Closing track: "The Requisition"

This week we're discussing every album by Television. Known primarily because of their debut album, Marquee Moon, Television is one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Seriously, Marquee Moon has perfect critical scores across the board. Go ahead and check. We do a deep, deep dive into their insane history, as well as all three of their albums.

This week we're discussing the new album by …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, XI: BLEED HERE NOW. This band has been around for a while, but this is Mike's first time actually hearing them. Alex, on the other hand, has been a fan for years but fell off at some point. BLEED HERE NOW is a huge album that was recorded in quadrophonic sound. So if your stereo has 4 speakers, crank this one up.

Closing track: "Taken by the Hand"

This week we're discussing every album by Gravediggaz. A short but incredible footnote in the RZA and Prince Paul's careers, Gravediggaz pioneered horrorcore, a horror-inspired sub-genre of hip hop. Accompanied by Frukwan and Too Poetic, Gravediggaz' debut album, 6 Feet Deep, is something you simply must hear. The rest… well, we discuss the rest.

Closing track: "Diary of a Madman" from 6 Feet Deep (1994)

This week we're discussing the new collab album between Danger Mouse and Black Thought (The Roots), Cheat Codes. Neither of these gentlemen need any introduction, and if you're a fan, you likely won't be disappointed with this record. Alex and Mike don't see eye-to-eye on this one, big shocker, but it's a solid album and worth a listen.
