This record means absolutely everything to me. It's the ground zero for everything I would grow to seek out in music. Noise, post-punk, krautrock, shoegaze, weird, jittery rhythms, vocals that are "haunting" and "hard to like" and "too much". Melancholy, alienation, passion, nihilism. I bought this CD with my pocket money in sixth grade and immediately put it on in my mom's car in the parking lot, it quite literally changed my life more than anything else on this list.
