i've heard a fair amount of blonde redhead and loved all of it. i don't know which albums are which at all, and needless to say i don't own any. it's time to buy some blonde redhead, but i don't know where to start. can anyone point me in the right direction? do their different albums have different qualities? is there any one that's hailed as supreme?
thanks!
thanks!

In my humble opinion "In an expression of the inexpressible" is their quintessential album. "Mia Vita Violenta" is also great, and a bit more raw. The new one is heart rendering and mellower, but also a new fave...

The first Blonde Redhead album I bought (and made me fall head-over-heels for them) was "Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons." I went on to hear the rest of them and though they all have their merits, this one and the new "Misery Is A Butterfly" are to me the most fully-formed and distinct works of art by this band. Either one would be an excellent first purchase--"Melody" is dryer and darker and more musically spare, while "Misery" engages in more traditional songforms and exquisitely dense sonics (it is on 4AD after all).

very nicely worded, lil'. "melody" was also my first bh buy. i was pleasantly pleased & impressed when "misery" was released tho it is a bit more mainstream-sounding than older stuff.
america's fave - if you want to find bh cd's that have the songs you know you like, i'd suggest grabbing a handful of their cd's and playing them at a listening booth @ ameoba .. (i can easily spend hours previewing cd's @ amoeba .. it's great!) -
