    I downloaded a few Pedro albums years ago but I can't honestly say I've ever actually gotten into any of them. Will listen to Control in a few minutes.

    Winners Never Quit and Achilles Heel deserve so much more love. They each get better with every listen.

    took me forever to even listen to control because everything else was so good. glad i finally did though.

    Achilles' Heel is my favorite. Control is amazing, but it's almost too bleak for me to listen to a lot, haha. It's incredibly cynical in a way the rest of Bazan's discography following it isn't.
     
  6. Achilles' Heel is sooooo underrated

    if you haven't already, listen to this ep. was actually the album that intro'd me to bazan. incredible and FUCKING RELEVANT


    Calling all rednecks to put down their sluggers
    And turn their attention from beating the buggers
    To pick up machine guns and kill camel fuckers
    Backwoods nation

    Calling the doctors of spin and the smoke screen
    To whip the new hate-triots into a frenzy
    Of good versus evil ignoring the history of the
    Backwoods nation

    Ain’t it a shame
    When due process
    Stands in the way
    Of swift justice

    Calling all frat boys to trade in their hazing
    Their keggers and cocaine
    And casual date raping
    For cabinet appointments
    And rose garden tapings
    Backwoods, backwoods, backwoods, nation

    It seems I'm in the minority here, but I really don't like the direction the Monthly/Blanco stuff went. At all. Love PTL, love Bazan, kinda can't stand this.

    I agree. For me this is pretty easily the album of his I enjoy the least.

    Strange Negotions would probably be my least favorite, but even that has some great songs.

    I never heard it as it was released monthly. Just as the album. And it's easily my favourite thing he's done.

    Excited for that, I'll listen to the song later but he's def one of my favorite songwriters so I'm confident in this
