One of the best bands in the universe. Anyone else here dig 'em? I remember ObfuscateByWill mentioning that he liked God in Three Persons.

Animal Lover is fantastic. What other band is there that has released 2 amazing albums within 33 years of each other? Most bands jump the shark after about 8 years and NEVER return. Then again, I haven't heard Love And Theft, but I said 'band' and meant it.

What sort of a band are they?

Ha! That's an impossible question. Even when you're listening to them, you wonder "what the hell kind of music is this?"

I'm sure http://www.rzweb.net can give you an answer far superior to anything I could muster.

So I'm reading some reviews, and I see what you mean by the "what the hell kind of music is this". Which album do you suggest I begin with? A comp (like "Our Tired, Our Poor, Our Huddled Masses") or an actual album?

God In Three Persons.

Incredible. The only one of their albums to really grab me.

I still haven't heard God in Three Persons, so I can't back ObfusacateByWill's assertion up with a "yeah, that album is awesome!!!", but I do know that allmusic gave it 5 out of 5 stars and that is not a rating they give out generously.

Sir Rock, I'd start with downloading the song "six things to a cycle" of Fingerprince. the last 7 minutes of that song are incredible. If you like that, you should probably get Meet The Residents.

Third Reich'n Roll was absolutely daring and sounds quite ahead of time and space...

I tried to get into the Residents, but I never did. I've been told that the albums I've heard are some of their weaker ones, though, so that could have something to do with it.



I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied.
