What Mountain Goats Album? (1 Viewer)

What Mountain Goats album should I get to make me fall in love with them?

 

[jonah]

My favourite is 'Get Lonely'.

Oh and 'The Sunset Tree'. 'Love Love Love' is such a great song.

The Sunset Tree is what I would recommend. Its a gigantic tower of a record that made me fall in love with them when I really wasn't expecting it.

depends on your appetite for wheel-grind and tape hiss. the 4ad albums are all well-produced, studio-recorded and feature an increasingly stable line-up - john wurster on drums, peter hughes on bass, now perry wright on 2nd guitar.

of the pre-4ad albums, zopilote machine (1994), full force galesburg (1997) and all hail west texas (2001) are my faves. ahwtx was the last hurrah of the panasonic dx4500 tape deck.

subject matter becomes more personal from we shall all be healed (2003) onwards.

tread carefully with jonah's get lonely suggestion - its a really quiet album and probably not the best place to start.

seek out 'come, come to the sunset tree', a vinyl-only album of sunset tree demos with a couple of extra tracks. originals are hens teeth-rare, but the files are around

Nice one! Cheers for the recommendation. The Sunset Tree is one of my favourite albums.

Get Lonely is a great album but is really depressing so unless you feel in a bit of a wrist-slitty kinda mood you might want to go with The Sunset Tree, at least you can dance to the depressing stuff on that album.

Tallahassee.

Zopilote Machine or Beautiful Rat Sunset.

BEGIN THE BEGIN.

I have to agree with the above comments on 'Get Lonely' despite my recommendation. Still my favourite though
