I only have their self titled album

. It is a good album though.

I liked TNT a lot, my least favorite album they did was that collaboration with The Ex for In the Fish Tank, I didn't think the two bands meshed well together.

TNT, the self titled and Millions Now Living are all awesome, and the rest ain't half bad either. Great to chill out and relax to.

They honestly make me want to go listen to Slint (who I missed seeing play Spiderland live for very dumb reasons) but Millions Now Living Will Never die is a really badass album. I have some sort weird attraction to the album art for it too.

This is the first time ive ever heard of them, so just gave them a little listen, and i wasnt particularly impressed or anything

I went to go see them do a live show to a screening of Nosferatu but I got there and the theater was full. That was a bitch, but I'll probably see them eventually.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die is probably my favorite album with "Taut and Tame" being my favorite of their songs.

TNT then standards.

cardboard adolescent - you will NOT regret seeing this band live (actually no one in this thread will). i caught a show a few years ago and it was nuts. they're so different from most other bands i've seen it was a real treat to see them pull it off live. so much percussion on stage hehehe it was great.
