That first Fall album is wonderful, but I gotta say Hex Education is something else.

The debut albums by Ted Nugent, Robin Trower, and UK.

Soul Coughing's Ruby Vroom was the edgiest, funkiest, and most inventive work ever to come from the band.

Animal Collective's first album is their best album; not by a huge margin considering Campfire Songs and Sung Tongs exists, but it still is. Not to mention they haven't even come close in nearly 10 years because MPP through Painting With is garbage for a band that such a high quality early output.

No I'm counting the first three albums as part of their discography as well, despite going under different names.

okay interesting. I've actually never listened to any of those - would you still recommend for someone who thinks feels and mpp are their best albums, and didn't like here comes the indian at all?

Depends on what you liked and didn't like about each of those albums. Spirit They've Gone Spirit They've Vanished is this mix of hypnotic electronics (but not MPP type electronics), pop, and noise music. It's abrasive and sometimes even harsh, but it's my favorite by them. The melodies are great and the experimentations make it feel like two kids ****ing around trying to make something weird and cool, somehow they managed to do it imo. Danse is their most abrasive by far; it's noise pop, but with an emphasis on noise. The best wayI could describe it would be like a more poppy here comes the the indian. Campfire Songs is just forty minutes of three of them playing acoustic guitars with the harmonies they're so well known for, personally I think it's underrated.
