Just bought Music Has the Right to Children on a whim, and holy shit. Really, really awesome stuff. Couldn't find a thread on these guys, so here we are. What is their best album? I wanna look for it.

Really good music! I haven't listened in a looooong time but you've just reminded me!

Anyway, if you're looking for the best album, in my opinion you've got it with Music Has the Right to Children. However, Geogaddi is essentially on the same level of goodness and would certainly be my two cents as far as what to get next.

Good stuff, I'm not sure what my favorite album is, although that is a contender.

All I've heard from Geogaddi is Beware the Friendly Stranger, being a Salad Fingers lover.

And I gotta say that's one of my favourite 40 second tracks ever.

Cracking album, easily in my top 50 ever. I probably prefer The Campfire Headphase to Geogaddi, they're both good albums too though.

All I have is Geogaddi and it's really good!

Yes! Great music! Music has a right... is probably my favourite, although Geogaddi is a close second. Most of their material is awesome though

Listening to Geogaddi for the first time right now and it's fucking awesome. Not sure if I like it better than Music Has The Right To Children or not yet.

Music Has the Right to Children is fantastic.

Geogaddi is a great album.

zxlkho · « **Reply #10 on:** August 26, 2011, 01:29:53 PM »

Both of these albums are fantastic. They're really hard to digest at first, but I'm definitely going to be giving them more listens.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. 'The Campfire Headphase' is where it's at!

I need to get that. Me and a friend used to smoke while listening to it and I still really like Happy Cycling, especially that awesome transition at 5:07. Audio ecstasy and nothing less.

Obligatory EVERYTHING YOU DO IS A BALLOON FUCK YEAH post

I love me some BoC. Used to listen to them when high many years ago. Their music is so nostalgic in a sense. I love it.

zxlkho · « **Reply #16 on:** August 29, 2011, 09:46:36 PM »

I'm actually starting to think that I like Geogaddi better. Julie and Candy does it for me.

Thanks.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 30, 2011, 05:19:54 PM »

Everything You Do is a Balloon is my favorite BoC song. The video is soo creepy, too.

zxlkho · « **Reply #22 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:34:43 PM »

Any BoC experts want to recommend me another album? I already have Geogaddi, Music Has the Right to Children, In a Beautiful Place Out In The Country EP, and Hi Scores EP.

Oh you

They don't sound anything alike, at all.

He's scrobbled them 5 times on last.fm.

and I'll continue to make fun of him here (because he can't respond) until he listens to them more.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #26 on:** September 28, 2011, 04:41:31 PM »

I thought he liked BoC, lol.

Try the Trans Canada Highway EP.

Haha, I went and got The Campfire Headphase and loved it.
