They always seemed basically listenable and never painful but yes, lots of those albums do blur together for me and GOD they were all so loooooooooong.

It was really two things that kept me interested in them: one, my relisten to Emperor Tomato Ketchup went far better than my original listen, so I’ll buy that one someday. Two, there’s about six songs on Peng!, their forgotten debut album, that are the best fucking My Bloody Valentine imitations ever recorded.
