What is the best Brian Jonestown Massacre album?

I'm on a bit of a journey tomorrow, so any other albums you can suggest would be superb...



  • Methodrone

    Thank God For Mental Illness
    Take It To The Man

    • Take It From The Man

      Sorry, it's late and I'm tired!

  • thank god for mental illness is the best

    then take it from the man
    then strung out in heaven maybe

    they also have a greatest hits type thing called tepid peppermint wonderland or something upon those lines

  • take it from the man

    is best, but most are good.
    the we are the radio ep is also well worth getting.

  • i love methadrone

    but my favourite is bravery repetition and noise.

    my bloody underground is completely different but worth listening to

  • I can't get on with the BJM

    purely because I watched that documentary and that Anton geezer was such an insufferable arsehole.

  • Give It Back!

    ...is their best.

  • I like Methodrone

    it's their most consistently great album.
    The new one is great as well, but the production is awful.

    • Seconded on both counts

      The new album could have been one of their finest if it didn't sound like it was recorded in a chicken coup with said livestock in attendance throughout the entire session.

      • did you like the new one?

        it was very silly for some reason

        • its funny

          i liked their songs so much more in the documentary than when i sat and listened to the albums

          they have one song which makes my hair stand on end every time...

          "You look great when I'm high"

        • Give it back

          and My Bloody Underground are the best.
          and take it from the man
          and thank god for metal illness.
          those are the essentials.
          maybe strung out in heaven too.

          just get all of it, man. they are amazing.

          • The best of...

            That's a good start!

        • there's no standout album, but...

          Methodrone
          Take It From The Man
          Thank God For Mental Illness
          Give It Back
          Bravery, Repetition And Noise

          ..are all brilliant.

          Personally I don't get the love for Strung Out In Heaven.

          • GIVE IT BACK!!!

            strung out in heaven is DULL!!

            • wouldn't go that far

              but it sounds a bit tame and major-labelly and most of the best songs are re-recorded oldies

        • Some of it

          Golden Frost and Bring Me The Head... for example could have been immense with better production.
