I absolutely love them, but cannot recommend any of the records. They're just not very good. In fact, that's a spectacular understatement. They're oftentimes too boring to tolerate. I've fallen asleep during the non-"Start Wearing Purple" parts of their albums. SEE THEM LIVE, though, and it will all become clear. They are clearly one of the greatest bands in the universe, and they will destroy all your notions of what it means to be brutally perfect, and they will rape and pillage your world, once your see them live.
