I started with Oh, Inverted World so I'd recommend that. More lo-fi too, if that's what you want.

I dig Chutes Too Narrow but the first song sometimes makes me cringe a little...the really high/loud vocal part. Eeks. I imagine it being alarming to noobs. It's still a good song, mind you. Some of my favs on there are 'Mine's Not a High Horse', 'Saint Simon', and 'Gone for Good'. And I LOVE those songs, I don't just like them.

I have a real emotional connection with all of their albums.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
