Title: Archers of Loaf
Post by: Indifferent Clox on 03 Feb 2008, 14:16

Haven't really gotten into these guys. I saw them with weezer when I was a kid, but wasn't really musically mature enough yet to dig them.  What albums/ songs will really get me into them?


[edit: smoking pot in the hot city is nice]

It's all gold, really. Each album is worth owning, even the live "Seconds Before The Accident" and the "Speed of Cattle" collection. The Vs. EP is basically the best EP put out by anybody ever.
Everybody has a different favourite, but if you're not allowed to count the live album, I think it's gotta be Vee Vee.

Here's a live video for "Fashion Bleeds" from their final album.

Having said that, the EP between the two records is pretty cool too.

'pretty cool'? It's more consistent than both those albums! Anybody who wants to get into the archers and doesn't hear the EP is doing it wrong!
And get White Trash Heroes!

But it also has 'Lowest Part is Free', 'All Hail the Black Market' and 'Freezing Point', the former two being two of the best Archers songs from that period. Feel free to say what you will about 'Audiowhore' and 'Revenge', but personally, I enjoy every second of that EP and never feel the need to skip any of it.
