If I pull the trigger then I would have 5 SY albums 4.5d plus Daydream Nation at a 5, that would probably make them my GOAT band

I mean these guys are as solid a choice for goat band as any other. If I were to try and formulate it, they'd easily be in my Top 10, quite possibly Top 5.

This is firmly in 6th for me and I'm still thinking about bumping it god this band is good

First album I have listened to from this band. Really dense and strange but something about it is really intriguing. Where is a good place to go next?

Weird but kinda cool place to start - I'd go to Goo next since that's the other major peak of their largely accessible 90s sound. Maybe Sonic Nurse if you want a indiejam wind down to follow this with

Yeah looking for something a little accessible to ease into them. I listen to bizarre stuff from time to time but this is a new avenue for me

Obligatory DAYDREAM NATION recommendation but as Johnny said, GOO is also a good place to go from here, as is SISTER imo.

probably the strangest starting place in the history of starting places, what an absolute maverick.



…and no, I haven’t even heard this despite starting with the band yonks ago (not made it further than Goo yet).

Haha I searched up a couple records and saw a 20 minute track on this one...figured I'd dive into my prog side a little heavy but something very weird came out of it all

Yeah I am impressed with nearly all of this album. I'm excited to work through the discog over the next few months, seems like a very rewarding way to spend my evenings

this album surely has the tallest floor/ceiling gap of any SY (and this is almost entirely to Thurston's fault/credit)
