Which Joan of Arc album to buy?

<< < (2/2)

Sox:
Tommydski will say "start at the beginning" and "eventually all at once wasn't very good" so what does he know?
Live in Chicago is a pretty difficult album. It contains some of the best JoA songs ever written, but it has a lot of pap on there. Do not start with Live in Chicago 1999, The Gap, or In Rape Fantasy And Terror Sex We Trust. The rest are all pretty safe bets, but they changed a whole lot from album to album.

If you want consistency, pick So Much Staying Alive And Lovelessness.

Sox:
Kai, you dick, you were mean to say So Much Staying Alive And Lovelessness!

Edit: And This Town Needs Guns are pretty terrible. They don't sound anything remotely like Owls, they just twiddle around a lot and have a nice guitar tone. I am basically certain that Victor Villareal didn't teach Tim Collins guitar.

Kai:
They are both exceptional albums but DICK CHENEY has a completely ridiculous Clear Channel Chanting Song. This gives it a unique (hilarious) edge.

ShreddingMyNotes:
Yes, Owls is killer.  So is Ghosts & Vodka.  Projects involving Victor tend to be the raddest.

I don't know what everyone is talking about, but Eventually, All At Once is pretty damn accessible as Joan Of Arc albums go.  I'm also a big fan of In Rape Fantasy And Terror Sex We Trust, but I'm not going to make that my first recommendation.  A Portable Model Of... is probably a good way to go.

Of Course by Make Believe is also a good bet.  I have a strange preference for it, even though all the Make Believe stuff is equally rad.
