Anon was right, this is better than any Pavement album. This is the best punk-ish album since 1978. Bleak, absurdist, witty, melancholy lyrics. Awesome production, the drums sound awesome and the guitars sound sonically different than any band i've heard. There is great intertwining guitars, but the coolest thing is, it sounds like they worked several month perfecting these songs, and then on the recording date they got fucked up as shit, so everyone's playing is "off", not in a Beefheart way. but like everyone is sad, angry, stoned, and drunk.
IMO these songs are all 8.5 to 10.

I sure hope /mu/ starts giving Arxhers of Loaf the praise they deserve. One of the absolute best original slacker bands.
vs. the Greatest of All Time is better and it's just an EP.
nothing beats seeing them play Audiowhore and Lowest Part is Free live.

you don't want that. remember what happened when fishmans got the praise they deserve? now they are apparently a band for teenagers and plebs with no artistic merit
>>69118514
Did you hear their other shit? Vs. The Greatest Of All Time and Icky Mettler are both superior to Vee Vee as far as I'm concerned.
Their later shit is pretty underrated as well, almost nobody ever talks about their post-Vee Vee albums.

And yeah, Archers Of Loaf were vastly superior to Pavement as well as most other 90s indie rock bands.

As far as I'm concerned (not OP) as a huge Archers fan. I say Vee Vee is their masterpiece.
Barry Black is also the best solo project an indie musician has put out concurrently with their main project (Archers).

I know I've heard that Animals Are For Eating melody somewhere before. I know that song in my bones, it it so fuckin familar, what is it?
>>69118514
I think Vs Greatest EP and Vee Vee are Archers best.
>>69118514
best indie band of the 90s, pretty much totally forgotten now, aside from muh first album
I really like All The Nation's Airports.
Good band.

Chumming The Ocean is prime. The songs are good to great but I hate the production on that album, I think that is the worst live drum sound ever.
