I admire this band more than I like listening to their albums. I've listened to them all many times, trying to get into them more, thinking that I'm missing out on this generation's Sonic Youth or something, and I just can't get there. All their albums strike me as somewhat the same. So whatever grade I give them, it would be the same for all. I admit that I don't like the vocalist's voice. Also, I think electric rock "duos" are always ultimately a little thin. I even think trios, where there is only a drummer, bassist and guitar player, fall short (yes, this includes Nirvana). Anyway, for searching purposes, the grade applies to:
Weirdo Rippers
Nouns
Everything in Between
An Object
Snares Like a Haircut
I own all of these in physical, other than Snares Like a Haircut, which is when I realized that they are just not for me. Weirdo Rippers I would sell, but am keeping only because it is their first and has The Smell on the cover, which I went to when I lived in Silver Lake, a couple years before this came out. An Object I would definitely sell, except I already have it, and people with better taste than mine like it.
