Everything from this band is great (with maybe the exception of "Soar", which was always my least favorite).  Clumsy is their best, in my unhumble opinion.  

 

Oh man that's a real shame- "Soar" is a great record! "Sky Flying By" is an indie classic! I love everything from this band through YAFMO. The S/T and "Billy" are kinda weak IMO but I listened to my taped copies of all of them a lot in high school and college.

 

I have the white Hopeless press of Astray- may pick up a black to see if it sounds better.

I need to explore their other work.  This album blew me away when it came out and nothing else I hear from them really stood up to it, but I haven't really given the rest of their stuff a chance since.  I'll jump on that tomorrow!

As a whole Astray surely stands out the most. I'm sure you would also enjoy You Are Freaking Me Out, because it shows was the beginning of them having a more melodic sound. Though my personal favourite (after Astray) is Trips. It sounds differently compared to what they've done before, but I totally love the kind of nostalgic undertone.
