The one album
Kyros:
The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I
- Self explanatory. This will probably always be my favorite album of all time. It shows off the D-Plan at their most manic and crazy on songs like "8.5 Minutes" or "What Do you Want me to Say?" and offered glimpses of what was to come a few years later on Change with songs like "The City" or "Spider in the Snow."
The Thermals - More Parts Per Million
- If you claim to be a fan of any of the myriad forms of "punk" or "lo-fi" but have never heard the Thermals' magnificent debut then you should stop reading this RIGHT NOW and get on that.
Silkworm - Italian Platinum
- Many would say it's a travesty not to list Firewater as SKWM's ONE Album, but I'll always prefer this over it. I think maybe the drinking motif of Firewater drags on a bit too long.

No, because I'm willing to bet most people would say 'who the fuck are they?'

Except that I didn't even like Aeroplane the first few times I listened to it (in fact, I hated it) but the first time I heard "Song Against Sex" I was all ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Also I don't know how lyrics about a girl getting wet are obtuse.

This is very true.

Depends on your perspective, I guess. I just threw that in there because I thought both albums were pretty... honest, for lack of a better word.

I think a lot of NMH fans are in denial about how creepy some of Jeff's lyrics are.
