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)
