Agree! That album is a LOT of fun. And there's some good spacey soundscape kinds of stuff, like Needle-Gun.
I don't understand why critics rate the first SY self-titled thing so low. I think it's great. It's true, they depart from this sound rather quickly--mostly it's the drumming that seems out of place. But I also think you can pick up on elements they carried forward into later releases. It helps complete the SY picture for me.
