They've got a ton of albums, what are people's favorites?

I like ‘em all, but I think they started to really hit their stride around Sound In Time. I know that doesn’t really narrow it down much, but Love Is Love is as good an example of their “mature” sound as any of them, so you’re off to a good start.

version sound wrote:I liked the first two records back in the day. My friend actually had a tape of what would become Walking Songs that we would listen to a lot as we drove around aimlessly on a weekend night. That was around the time that I pretty much abandoned hardcore/punk, though, so I didn’t go any further into their discography at that point. I went back and delved into their discography maybe 10 years ago and found that everything up to Pass and Stow has a pretty similar sound. Starting with SIT, they moved in a more groove-y hypnotic direction that really clicked with me. There are great songs on those early records, like “Nothing is Easy” and “Creation Story,” but overall, I prefer the later stuff.

Just play the song "Creation Story" from that album on repeat and the rest of the album you can prolly omit from the deep dive. Thank me later.
Both of you.

“Creation Story” is probably the best song from their early period, and it sounds a heck of a lot like their late period.

Side note...my buddy Joe worked with Alec MacKaye's wife at Nightline for a bunch of years. He attended their wedding. Lungfish played the cocktail hour, Lol.

If you like those two, yeah, just keep going in order. As I noted before, there was a pretty noticeable change circa Sound in Time, so their sound is a bit of a “before and after.” They got more hypnotic and meditative. If you like the more straightforward punk(ish) stuff, you have about 2 more albums of it left. I almost feel like their first few records were a continuation of Reptile House, and SIT marked the full evolution into Lungfish.

Pass and Stow
Indivisible
Love is Love
Feral Hymns
ACR 1999
I just ordered Sound in Time.
Kicking myself for not ordering Unanimous Hour when they repressed it.

It’ll be easy enough to tell when you get it. The OG has a matte textured cover, the reissue doesn’t.
If it’s the one from March 8, looks like an OG.
