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.

MAD! by Sparks | Album Review
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 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

Every Album Ever | Episode 226: Wild Nothing
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.

Motherfucker, I Am Both... by Shearling | Album Review
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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

More by Pulp | Loose Ends
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 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
