Ive been listening to this great band quite a bit recently.

Does anybody have any opinions on the band that was too loud and noisy for Lollapalooza?

ive only heard a little of this band but i liked what i heard. any tracks u recommend?

Deserter's Songs is one of their best records. Start with that.

"Goddess on a Hiway" and "Holes" their best songs. But Deserter's Songs is a great album, quality all the way through, so I second Moon Pix suggestion.

Plus I would add that if you like noisy, balls to the wall art rock give Yerself Is Steam a spin.

They never got noisier.

I remember hearing about them in the early 90s & never really bothered to check them out.Then when they released Deserters Songs I thought it was a work of genius.

Then I went out & bought Yerself Is Steam

Thats the only one i have, i got it from a really cheap second hand shop and took it home and listened to it and loved it. . i was worried it would sound like wet wet wet for some reason.

I have the album ALL IS DREAM and it's patchy but there are a couple of really great tracks on it. TIDES OF THE MOON is a particular standout. May well give DESERTER SONGS a listen as it seems to be liked.

All is Dream is pretty weak, I didn't like Deserter Songs, Yrself is Steam, or See You on the Other Side all that much either... but Boces... I love that ****in album.

I bought a ''Best Of'' double CD thing....I wasn't overly impressed tbh, I'm always open to giving them another listen though.
