    Elliott Smith for sure. The Ringer review said the record is equally indebted to Harvest-era Neil Young and Oneohtrix Point Never, which I thought was a great comparison.

    I have still never listened to a full Alex G record. is this a good place to start?

  5. I'd say so. I started with his previous record, Rocket, and I'd say this is pretty similar.

    alright rad. ive been real intimidated for a while cause this guys got so many albums and so many of them are so long. maybe just work backwards then?

    His albums all hover between 30-40 mins actually! I’d say start with Rocket or this and if you enjoy it work backwards. Of the six I’m familiar with (Rules through House of Sugar) there’s nothing less than great

    I started with DSU. Never listened to Beach Music. Both this and Rocket are really good

    DSU is soooo good but definitely a different vibe than this and Rocket. I never got into Beach Music, I should go back to it.

    I'd start at dsu, I think that's his most accessible but you can't really go wrong anywhere since there's not a bad record in the bunch

    Kick and Snot are two of his best songs! I do find it less consistent than the rest but it’s good as hell

    Brick is probably my favorite just because how left field it is. Totally flexing his Pavement side messing around with genres.

    I feel like that’s when a lot of people got into him, so it’s probably great! It also happened to come out when I was listening to less stuff like this and was just never something I went back to rediscover. Probably should though considering how incredible everything else is.

    oh word, for whatever reason I was under the impression they’re all like an hour plus haha. this is such a relief
    see I trust yr opinion too...maybe I’ll try this and dsu and work through that way

    not a bad idea, you get a good representation of his older stuff and where his heads been at post-Beach Music that way

    there is not a bad alex g record to start with. you could start with one of his unreleased albums (monsterhead is amazing) and you would still be instantly hooked

    he honestly has one of the most prolific back catalogues of unreleased songs ive ever heard. i think my itunes is like 250 songs and 90% is pure gold

    Project 2, and onward is real special. In My Arms has some nice guitar
