Seen them mentioned a few times on here and as I think they are great, I wanted to make a thread.

Albums ranked

Only heard Mwng, Hey Venus! and DDLY about twice each so I don't feel I can rank them yet.

[TripleJay97]

Yes!

They're criminally underrated as a band. I'm the only person in my circle of friends who knows about them.

[Rubi]

Got into them about five years ago, have been in my top 10 bands ever since. I agree with TripleJay, they're very underrated.

I would also recommend giving a listen to Gruff Rhys' Neon Neon project. Some really great tracks in there.

[TripleJay97]

One of the things I really like about the band is Rhys' vocal stylings (eg. the NA NANA NA NANA NANANANAs of Night Vision), so I'll be sure to check that out.

Underrated or unknown? I mean I've not really looked but I've never seen a bad review of them. I agree their music goes generally unnoticed but I thought this was more a popularity thing than anyone not really liking them.

[Rubi]

They're generally hailed by critics, but yeah, a bit unknown given the sheer quality of their music.

[TripleJay97]

I agree their music goes generally unnoticed

That was the point I was trying to make, yes. I meant underrated in terms of being unlikely to turn up on BestEverAlbum lists.

[TripleJay97]

Ah, cool! I've always wanted a copy of Mwng, its a wonderful album. Learned a little bit of Welsh from it!

[AdvertBreak]

So is this a deluxe reissue of Mwng or just a straight forward reissue?

[TripleJay97]

Apparently it's a "deluxe 15th anniversary reissue". So that's something to get excited about.

I would have been happy if it was just a standard reissue, because I'm sure it's out of print. I can't find the bloody thing anywhere.

[AdvertBreak]

Same here, and when I did find it, it was in a charity shop and it was much more expensive then the rest of the regular albums they were selling.

[TripleJay97]

Even on Amazon it's bloody expensive.

Always liked them, from when they first emerged in 1996. Bought a few of their earlier albums.
