from the fuzzed out valleyhaze proto-David Lowery of "Orange Rhyming Dictionary" to what? a bunch of stupid, "sweet" ballads and pretty anthems? no mang, that don't do any ting for me or mine. example of the last album that made me want to demand my money back: Jets to Brazil, "Four Cornered Night". I was glad that someone had given me a burned copy, 'cuz that's not the kind of music I'd be happy to pay $$$ for.

for sure Yoshimi is studio bliss, I'm just not into that kind of stuff. Yo jack it's called personal taste, eh? I feel the same way about those "essential" Beach Boys albums like "Pet Sounds" and "Smiley Smile" which both sound to me like oh, I don't know, a bunch of fey twee Peters Pan. I understand Yoshimi in 5.1 surround sounds great, but i'm not about to buy another copy. Going in the other direction, try some Cobra Verde. It and Yoshimi are currently probably in my top 20 albums of all time.įey? Twee? Whatever, dude, it's sublime. There are great tracks on Zaireeka, clouds and transmisions, but there's no question the lips really hit stride with The Soft Bulletin. Most of the old stuff doesn't do much for me:D) (this is where I quit going backwards, I downloaded a few of their older tracks.and well.I think they've come a long way.

The Soft Bulletin (if you like Yoshimi and the Soft Bulletin there are several other discs worth of other music they made during this time frame, The Soft Bulletin Companion Discs, Yoshimi wins, the AOL sessions, Okie Noodling, X-mas on Mars tracks, Spongebob, Late Night Tales White Stripes cover etc.)

I think the more recent the work the more accessible it is. I think working backwards chronologically is probably the best way to start.
