Throwing Muses/50' Wave

[Special K]

I bought Golden Ocean, 50' wave's first(?) full length, and I absolutely love it.

I understand it's pretty much Throwing Muses with a different drummer, and since Throwing Muses is a band I've heard of, but never really heard, what albums should I pick up?

Thanks!

The s/t debut

House Tornado

The Real Ramona

University

 

The first two are the louder, more abrasive sounding Muses at their early peak. They became a bit more melodic by the time they released the other two albums but they incorporated that smartly into their original sound. Ramona was my first album and it was a real grower, from liking a few songs to liking the whole album. I think the debut is only avaliable on the In A Doghouse comp, at least in America unless i've missed a re-issue US release or something.

 

Not heard the other albums in full.
