Asylum, but there are at least other 3 strong contenders.

I voted The Golden Age though Crushed Velvet Apocalypse would be close behind. I was a huuuge fan of these guys, stopped caring, and it's time I went back and re-listened.

everything since around 1996 hasn't been as good as I wanted it to be (although with occasional flashes of brilliance on every release, of course). Still worth hearing, but not quite at the dizzying heights of the 80's and early 90's. Major exception: The Chemical Playschool 10/11/12 box set, which is really excellent.
that said, Your Children Placate You... is my favorite release of theirs in many years, and the new one is quite good as well.

amazes me there isn't more love on ILM.
also in that last post I meant the CP 11/12/13 box, CP10 is a single CD from maybe 1999-2000 which is also worth seeking out.

"evolution" on the maria dimension sounds like "shine on you crazy diamond" outtakes

disappointing turn out. i can't really blame anyone; i didn't vote, mostly because i've only heard a tiny portion of this stuff.

Ok, so I walked by a used bookstore here in town that had a sidewalk sale with a shitload of CDs for sale for 99 cents each. It was a really, really terrible selection. Bad enough that when I came across a bargain bin staple like Monster I was like, "hmm, that's decent". Anyway, what two gems do I find in the mess? Asylum and Dinosaur Jr jayloumurph.

Great record, if you haven't heard it before you are in for a treat.

I haven't! These guys have been on my long list of artists to check out for awhile now, glad this will be my entry point.
