controlthebleeding Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 the beginning it makes you appreciate their discography as a whole, rather than a certain point in their career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vittywatt Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 boooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the early stuff is NOT good IMO, the drummer is fucking soooo bad in the New Red Archives releases. i would suggest astray...start where it's fucking amazing then after 8 months of listening to the album over and over again mix in you are freaking me out & clumsy both records are pretty solid after 3 months of those three records finally listen to their most recent whatevers got you down...deal with the wierd guitar and sound of the album and learn to enjoy their records... sersiously though..astray is hit after hit...LISTEN to that fucking record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyregret Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Definitely start with Astray, if you can't get into that then you probably won't get into Samiam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letskissthesky Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 start with billy or clumsy. astray is my personal favorite as well but it'd be best to start at the beginning so you can appreciate it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstrike Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Figures that I now want to listen to Samiam, after packing up all my CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I think I could listen to every single song on Astray for 24 hours on repeat and never get tired of listening to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I can't believe that so many people think that Astray is their best work. It's probably my second least favorite album by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controlthebleeding Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm personally a big fan of "Soar" but that album holds alot of memories for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
