if you want a view of the group as a whole, i'd say start with Radical, even though they didn't produce beats on them (it's essentially a mixtape), you really get the feel of them as a group on alot of the tracks.
Bastard and EARL are definitely recommended too, though i'd say after Radical and maybe The Odd Future Tape.
if you really like those and want to see how the rest of the group's stuff is, i'd suggest MellowHype's YelloWhite and Hodgy Beats' The Dena Tape is pretty good too. Frank Ocean's Nostalgia/Ultra is one of my favorites from OF, but it's pretty far in style from what the rest of Odd Future is known for (it's an R&B album, love songs and sh*t), but it's really good if you dig that type of music.
the rest of the group isn't too bad and can be pretty enjoyable if you're the completionist type. if you find yourself wanting more after the albums mentioned, then i'd say dive right in and get it all.
