Also if you haven't seen the Breadcrumb Trail documentary I'd recommend that. Gives a history of the band, the Lousiville scene in the 80s, and some fun stories
LTIY is getting there

>very different, no way near as good but still worth a listen as a fairly experimental noise rock album
>don, aman is my favourite
>the lyrics, production and performances create a uniquely sinister and creepy atmosphere
>june of 44, a minor forest, bastro, rodan all have a similar sound, even fugazi and unwound toyed with it. Shipping news and big ups too if you're looking for something more contemporary
I think when they did Tweez they were still experimenting and trying to find their sound. It's a good album that was key to achieve the masterpiece that is Spiderland. That said, Carol is one of their best and most powerful songs. It amazes me that they are able to convey that much raw emotion with just three lines.
