I find Boxer to be very agreeable- and entirely non comparable to Alligator, as its much calmer save for Apartment story and Mistaken for Strangers.

The album is a lot more accessible too, for first glance.

My favourite of the two albums alternates frequently.

I own all of their albums.

Sad Songs and 'the national' - their debut- aren't really that worth bothering with, as although tehre are some cracking tunes on both, they just aren't even close to the standard of their latter two albums.

Sad Songs for Dirty lovers is like a reasonable album by a MOR band- that said, my dad much prefers sad songs over Alligator.

My advise is not to bother until you've heard Boxer and Alligator.

The Cherry Tree EP is acceptable though, as 'About Today' is one of their deepest songs, in my opinion, and a standout track.

I had two rather interesting albums fall into my lap over the weekend, Hot Chip's Made In The Dark which is decent in places but reaffirms my view they're a singles band rather than an album's band, and Alone by Rivers Cuomo which is an awful vanity project that I wouldn't recommend to anyone bar Weezer completists.

I like the Cuomo album but Weezer are one of my favourite bands and I like all of their albums so it's not surprising. I dunno why I like it cause Joel is right, it is pretty much a vanity project and shoddy at that. But I like it anyway.

The mp3s didn't have wedding bells or the album version didn't? Because mine does- well at the beginning there is anyway.

The first three mini-albums Pleasuredeath, Nurse and summat else are all good, almost industrial, used to be hard to get hold of but in these days of t'Internet they might not be too hard. Troublegum is the kinda accepted 'best album' although I prefer Infernal Love meself, it's just a work of absolute wonderment. Full marks for the fabulous, sinister Huskers cover as well. The album that came after, Semi-detached is well worth a look as well, but everything afterwards is pretty much just going over old ground. They're still wicked live though, it's just four fat, snarling Irishmen, f*cked out of their heads on a cocktail of Christ knows what, bombarding you with noise, and the crowds are always f*cking mad as well................
