Each has their merits and drawbacks, YLAOM is really lo-fi and hard-edged, Green Mind simply doesn't represent their best work, and Farm is really ****ing long and could be cumbersome...

I started out with You're Living All Over Me and its remained my favorite by them ever since. I've heard all the stuff, and I would have to say it really depends on the other things the said person is into. As you said, each album may have drawbacks depending on the persons personally preference to music. Such as on
YLAOM I really enjoy that
lo-fi and
hard edged sound, but once more it probably just goes back to my personal preference. I would just see what the person liked in other music and try to make a basis off that. That's normally what I do when both giving and receiving music recommendations.
Certainly a fan of this band and I also really enjoy J Mascis's work in anything. (He drummed for two metal bands, Upsidedown Cross which maybe a little less known than his current band, Witch. Plus Deep Wound)
