Influential.
Takes the Gang of Four paradigm, stips it down even further, adding a sweet female vocal presence and a little kraut rock drone. Especially effective use of brevity in song-writing. Nab that entire disc 1, enjoy.

Superb.
There is a minimal amount of noise, but the instruments and vocals cut so smoothly through the air. It's become one of my go-to albums, and I am just in love with the music. Download some now
minimal-maximalism must have
proving all you need is a pure voice, melodics, and well played intertwined guitar/bass. this lays the groundwork of all decent pop/indie pop today. if you arent familiar with these guys and you consider yourself a student of music, then this is essential school supplies. lovely stuff. take note: Final Day.
Stellar. A landmark.
Disk 1 and tracks 7-9 from disk 2 are absolutely essential. In my opinion you don't really need the alternate versions. And the instrumental Testcard EP (tracks 1-5 of disk 2) is not as essential as the album and first single.
