Boredoms and Low,

--- Quote from: michaelicious on 14 Nov 2008, 14:43 ---I can't really get into The Great Destroyer as much because the songs seem so crowded. The production seems almost intrusive. Low's song always seemed to have so much space. I think their songs need the room to navigate that space instead of being cramped.

I can see what you mean. I'm not sure if Steve Albini produced the rest of their albums, but some of the production decisions are intrusive like you said. The drums sound absolutely awful on some songs, what with the shrill, piercing snare sound, but on others they are bone-crushingly huge.
KickThatBathProf:
The only Boredoms album I own is Vision Creation Newsun, but I would recommend it.
As for Low, I've always enjoyed Things We Lost in the Fire
Jackie Blue:
By far the most accessible (and arguably best) Boredoms album is Super AR. Get it NOW. It rocks.
For Low, I'd get Christmas and Songs For a Dead Pilot. Also, owL Remix Low is incredibly fun.
fangsanalsatan:
There's no reason to listen to anything by Low but I Could Live in Hope. Why? I'll tell you why. That album is so perfect, you will want to kill yourself after listening to it.
De_El:
I know exactly what you mean. I have trouble bringing myself to move after listening to that album straight through. It's like hitting a reset button on your emotional compass, but instead it's a slow and deliberate process of obliterating it and then remaking it like a blank slate.
