Revolutionaut posted:Low. I already have Drums and Guns and The Great Destroyer, so I guess this is more of a "Where do I go from here?" They have a pretty daunting discography. To be perfectly honest, if you started with those two albums then you might have a hard time getting into their earlier stuff, as The Great Destroyer kind of marked a huge shift in sound for the band. That being said, Things We Lost in the Fire is probably their best and most diverse album of their Slowcore era, and Songs for a Dead Pilot, being an EP, is also a great primer to see if you like their old sound. Trust could transition you from one Low to the other, but it's not that strong of an album, in my opinion.

Radio du Cambodge posted:Destroyer? I enjoyed the latest release, Trouble in Dreams. Production-wise, the closest thing to Trouble in Dreams is Destroyer's Rubies. It's also his most accessible, but in my opinion it is his worst post-Streethawk album. I would definitely start with Streethawk: A Seduction and move forward from there, and then if you get ridiculously obsessed like I did, work backwards. His earlier albums are a LOT more hit-and-miss, but they're all worth picking up for one reason or another.

Well I don't think Silversun Pickups are THAT shoegazey (okay so they use a lot of guitar overdubs, but other than that...) and shoegaze has become sort of a catch-all signifier used to describe anything that has a gauzy sound or a lot of reverb. That being said, shoegaze is awesome. The three 'defining' albums of the first wave of shoegaze in the late eighties and early nineties are My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Ride - Nowhere Slowdive - Souvlaki However, if you like the Silversun Pickups then you might like more stuff where people wed the guitar effects of shoegaze to big hooks, so you might want to check out Kitchens of Distinction - Love Is Hell and Lush - Split as well as Gish by the Smashing Pumpkins if you haven't yet...
