Tired Of Tomorrow Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

Can't find a decent price copy of Cherry Bomb but there is an endless amount of copies for $100+ on eBay.  I fucking hate RSD. 

bonus 7"? Was that advertised somewhere?

Long time Thou stan, personally I visit the Tyrant/Peasant era the least. I would say the Algiers comp covers a good range of years where they were really growing as a band. If you just want a quick  (ha!) Selection of songs I would say: New Orleans is a Hole, Skinwalker, Helen Hill, Voices in the Wilderness, and Bonnet Carre. 
If you dig that stuff then just go to the Heathen LP which is the culmination of everything that came before. If you dig that, then spin Magus, by then you should be off to the races. For a bonus, check out their blessings of the highest order comp which is all Nirvana covers and a good initiation to their sound with a familiar source.

Yeah, I'm no expert but I've found my listening of Thou really spread across all of their discography, where typically I'll zero in on 1 album from an artist and just play it to death.   
 
I think everything they put out is great and quality, but the 5 main-line albums still retain that "little extra" feeling and stand head and shoulders above the rest of the really strong discography. Tyrant, Peasant, Summit, Heathen, Magus are all great, and chrono or reverse-chrono are both fine orders. I tend to gravitate to Tyrant, Magus, and Peasant in that order -- but that's personal taste and preference will play a big part in that.
 
The biggest hurdle (for me, initially) in their discography is volume and not knowing the categories/context:
1. 5 main-line albums (Tyrant, Peasant, Summit, Heathen, Magus)
2. The  digital compilations of singles/covers over the years (Algiers, Rendon, Oakland)
3. The most recent two releases, 1 all Nirvana (Blessings of the Highest Order) and 1 a mix Shellac/Pearl Jam/Sabbath and more (A Primer of Holy Words)
4. The 3 EPs leading up to Magus - each is a different style, all full-length as far as playtime. Experimental/Drone (House Primordial), acoustic/clean vocals (Inconsolable), and more in-line with Magus' final style (Rhea Sylvia)
5. Everything else - Single tracks, splits, covers etc. Too many to go through everything - they are all quality but 1-4 is where I spend 98% of my listening. (Edit: Even in this "everything else" I'm positive there are gems I just haven't dusted off enough yet. The split albums with The Body are well regarded as far as I know, for example. I'm just not a The Body fan so haven't made my way through this quite yet.)

Rooks can probably speak a little better to this as a newer fan that deep-dived into their catalog just recently, but I think chronologically is a good choice.  Tyrant is a great debut and the string of albums that follow it really cement their sound before they experiment with the EPs and covers.

I got my blue/yellow pinwheel from pinhead last week, haven't gotten a chance to spin it yet but the color looked good

I remember when I was in like 9th or 10th grade I had a sky eats airplane shirt that was just a cloud eating an airplane and I wore it nearly every day, my MySpace page song was also a sky eats airplane song, high school was weird and I can't believe I was so into music like this 😆

"Made just for Record Store Day" and "available exclusively at Urban Outfitters" in the same sentence is the most contradictory sentence I've read in awhile. But I just finally watched Into The Spiderverse and was surprised that I actually really liked that Sunflower song lol I would buy it on a 7" for $5 

Just got an email confirming I will be getting the signed photo print and my order should arrive on release day. Glad I didn't hesitate to order!

That BV list is tight, and some stuff to check too.
After spending 45 min sifting through how this Hum thread veered to Paramore, and then trying to figure out what 'based' meant, had to sign in to +1 my post count haha.

Snagged with the quickness, thanks!

I think you're garbage and try-hard

Been waiting forever for this! SDF is the only band I'll continue to buy 7"s from

This seems like a flippers dream, less competition and a better excuse to mark the prices up even higher because of 'the risk factor' of having to go out and get them, and instead of one big crowd on one day, itll be three big crowds on three days. 

I was at the Red Rocks show this was recorded at! And I missed the colored variant! Doh! 

As someone who has been going to shows in Denver for the past 10 years a lot of singers have trouble with the high altitude and they have trouble with their voice sometimes, so if the recording is from a Denver show that's probably why his voice sounds rough, I wouldn't know though because I didn't sign up for this record and can't listen to it, but thought I would share my opinion on the topic because i am bored. Also I missed that show and regret it
