Considering this is a project that gets criticized for over-treading the same ground lyrically-- a worthwhile criticism-- tho the same crit that could be levelled at John Waters or any other artist who leaps out of the kennel into the garden of transgressive art and has to continue to wait for new modern prejudices to grow and blossom before shitting on them-- my ears find this band extremely diverse from a compositional and production perspective. I can't really pick a single album.

It is interesting to me that Fabulous Muscles and La Foret which disappointed me so much production-wise would be followed by The Air Force and Angel Guts which are two of the best-sounding albums I've ever heard

Nina is way underrated, Twin Peaks is impossible to overrate because it attempts the impossible and succeeds

Their take on Twin Peaks is impressive!
