Violent Femmes
1983
It's genuinely surprising that this released in the early 1980s, given it has such a late 90s-early 00s feel. This album was probably a major precursor to the garage rock revival and proves how much you can do with a slash of edge and a couple of instruments.
A pretty cool experiment in creating a punk sound with basically just a snare drum and acoustic bass on a lot of these songs. Largely feels like some good standout singles and a lot of filler. Good feeling is a great song but feels odd in the album.
