@gafacaode and @Gavaxeman probably have thoughts on this one.

The furrys! I adore this album. Actually I adore everything this madcap band of stoned Welsh misfits made. Gruff knows his way around a hook. Fuzzy logic is probably my favourite though.

This album was actually my introduction to them! As Joe I love them and Gruff (except that album he made with Tony da Gatorra).
Top 4 SFA:

Fuzzy Logic
RATW
Guerrilla
Mwng

Is there no way to browse their catalog before subscribing? Trying to see if they have other UK only released albums that I go looking for that aren't on Apple Music. If it has the original Manics "Know Your Enemy" on there sign me up!

It does not have KnownYour Enemy. I bought Know Your Enemy, Postcards from a Young Man and Wire’s first solo album on CD so that I could listen to them while I was deep diving their catalog the last few years.

You should be able to sign up for a free month.

Yeah, I see that. I have Know Your Enemy and Postcards CDs packed away in my basement somewhere. Sometimes I debate picking up the MOV version of Know Your Enemy but the reviews don't seem kind.

I have it. It’s pressed on one disc and so it’s really really really quiet because it’s almost 40 minutes a side which is absolutely insane. It does sound ok when you crank the fuck out of it but it’s not a patch on the reimagined one from 2022.

Really I just want "Royal Correspondent" and the real version of "So Why So Sad".
 
Oh, I love Rings Around the World. Fantastic album. I found out about the Super Furry Animals via Kliph Scurlock when he was the drummer for the Flaming Lips and kept posting about them. After he was let go by the Lips he ended up working with Gruff Rhys and other SFA guys for a bit as well.

Anyway, the Super Furry Animals to me have always been sort of a weird love psychedelic love child between the Flaming Lips and the Beach Boys. Great harmonies & melodies with just enough weirdness thrown in. 5/5 album for me.

My default elevator pitch for SFA is that they're like if The Flaming Lips were Welsh.
