Re: early Stereolab were really really good

no. not me. early lab isn't my favorite. I didn't buy a cd from 92- to early 97. those are my "lost" years. My favorite lab is from ETK to present. I also enjoy two or three songs off Space Age. I like the way they develop their sound. It's part of the fun. I can't even think of them as a guitar laden band. That's crazy, steady, brutal. I prefer later lab; it suits my taste just fine. but it's fun to listen to the early stuff, too. It's not my preference. I think they have continually improved with each release. When is Chem Chords Deux coming out? I am getting anxious to hear that one. It'll be worth the wait.

Well albums of 92 that are better:

PJ Harvey - Dry
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Beastie Boys - Check your head
Ministry - Psalm 69
End of Silence - Rollins Band
They Might be Giants - Apollo 18
Daisy Chainsaw - Eleventeen
99.9 F - Suzanne Vega
Spine of God - Monster Magnet
Ice Cube - The Predator
Tom Waits - Bone machine
REM - Automatic for the People (bar everybody hurts)

And if you were to go era including 1990, 1991,1993 then don't get me started. Stereolab were good then but this was the stuff of the era. Stereolab WERE just finding their feet.
Disagree on all of those but REM, and they weren't really as good by the time of that album really.

Mmm. I agree that their best years were well and truly behind them but this was an assured record and stronger than the early lab stuff.

Re: early Stereolab were really really good

Early REM might compete in my mind with early Stereolab, as I used to love those albums.

Listening to the "Switched On" compilation as I type. Beautiful stuff.

Re: early Stereolab were really really good

super falling star is the first track i ever heard and still one of my favourites today. their early output is wonderful. i'm glad they changed course over the years though and diversified their sound. listening to peng sound-dust for example the evolution is pretty remarkable.

Evolution

Seems incredible that fans turned away upon hearing Dots & Loops.
