The early stuff is my favourite, especially the track 'Upside Down'. They are an example of when noise can be blissful.
he was only with them for Psychocandy, then he went & did his own thing with the Scream. it's really always been just the Reid kids.

i can't even stand Psychocandy anymore (which is apparently a 'masterpiece' of the '80s), the production is terrible and it sounds grating after a while. Darklands and Honey's Dead are both superb albums though, much stronger songwriting too.
