Introduce me to Hella

Bandaid · 10-28-2005, 02:46 AM

I recently heard the song "Hello great architects of the universe" and it caught my fancy. What Hella album should i get first?

Get the Acoustic Tour EP

You could probably get The Devil Isn't Red album.

If you're in it for Zach Hill's drumming, it also pays to check out Zach Hill & The Holy Smokes, and Crime In Choir.

I have The Devil Isn't Red. I don't much like it though.

Yeah, I don't like the albums that much either really. I think Zach Hill is an incredible drummer but as far as actual songwriting goes I don't think Hella are particularly good. That's why I recommened Zach Hill & The Holy Smokes, and Crime In Choir, I find they are just as awesome in terms of drumming and a bit nicer sounding.

I think Hold Your Horse Is is their best album.

^ For sure, I saw them live in Sydney a little while ago, his beats live were awesome and he had a great solo spot as well.

i only have "Hold your Horse Is".

is their other stuff more than just showing off odd time sigs and fast playing? if so, i'm interested. if not, i find no reason to listen to them.

Zach is an very gifted drummer. His double bass work is amazing.
