I own five of the mentioned albums:
Arrested Development - Three Years...
Belly - Star
Radiohead - Pablo Honey
Breeders - Last Splash
R.E.M. - Monster
Arrested D. really only had a few decent songs on there; some were really crappy. Revolution was my favorite song of theirs, and I don't think it's even on the Three Years album.
I still bust out Belly and listen to it. I was interested that the review recommended one of their other albums instead. Perhaps I'll check it out, as I really like Star for the most part.
Pablo Honey is worth it for Creep and Blow Out alone. Not their best work by a million miles, but I still enjoy listening to it.
The reviewer seemed to really actually like Last Splash, and so did I. I don't listen to it so much, though, because I have it on tape instead of CD. Good album, though.
I was appalled by Monster when I first bought it and pretty much gave up on purchasing R.E.M. albums after UP, but Strange Currencies makes this album worth it for me, thus my copy will not be showing up in any used CD bins any time soon.
