Sorry for the annoying question, but is this a good place to start?

veks i'd say this, SATH, and mariner are their most accessible records so start with those.

I say, go chrono. Mariner is their most basic album, very lacking in the dynamics department. Julie's vocal performance is its only redeeming quality.



If you want crushing heaviness, first two should sort you out, especially Beyond. Fucking classic, that album.

This is one of CoL's finest moments definitely.

Worst CoL, agreed. Cygnus and SS Needle are hard snoozefests.

Pika's take on Mariner is mostly correct, he just exaggerates it's failings.

@Veks: this is a fine place to start, so is SATH, so is just going chrono (although The Beyond is better than the debut in every aspect, so you can maybe skip the t/t unless you get really into them). I know that's a 'non-committal' answer, but you can't really fail with these guys. One of the most consistent bands in the known universe.

well, 'new record' is what they said, but the clip they posted isn't from any existing CoL song so there's no way it's a live album or anything like that

I’m predicting something similar to the Vertikal II thing where it was some leftovers from prior sessions packaged into an EP
