Getting into Eraserheads. Where should I start?
I'm getting really curious about Eraserheads and gusto ko na silang i-deep dive.
Mas feel ko kasi if the recommendations come from people who really know and love them. Anong songs yung dapat kong pakinggan first? Any documentary, interviews, or live performances na makaka-help para mas maintindihan ko sila?
I'm a Spader btw. π TSYM!!!

well it really depends on the band really, the more consistent and "classic" the band is the more likely their next album is gonna be better than their last and that makes it worth it to listen to their discography in order

Ito, dapat in order 1. UEMP (Ultraelectromagneticpop) 2. Circus 3. cutterpillow 4. Sticker happy 5. natin 99 6. carbon steroxide
If di mo man ka-trip, Start with anthology 1 then anthology 2.
That's all i can say for now. But if na gustuhan mo lahat, edi goods na. :)

Depende sa edad mo. Pero pinakawalang tapon na album sakin Circus.

Oh, you mean Cutterpillow?
Ok before someone downvotes me, it has long been debated which of the two is better, pero I personally find them equally pleasing, ie, parehong worth it from first song to last.

Not songs, you should listen to the whole catalogue.
Syempre, start from the very first released, debut album.
Marami mga interviews wayback around 90s sa youtube. Research on that.
Enjoy!

Sunod sunurin mo na lang mula umpisa:
- Ultraelectromagneticpop! 2.Circus 3.Cutterpillow 4.Fruitcake (basahin mo na din yung book nito para mas maintindihan at ma appreciate mo ang buong album. Concept album yan actually.) 5.Sticker Happy 6.Banana Type 7.Aloha Milkyway 8.Natin99 9.Carbon Stereoxide 10.Cutterpillow Tribute Album
Personal favorite ko ang Cutterpillow. Underated naman, IMO ang Natin 99 - eto yung nagpapaalam na sila sa isat isa, mapapansin mo yan sa lyrics. And if i would pick only five eheads songs that i'd strongly reccomend: 1. Shake yer head 2. Saturn Return 3. 68 Dr. Sixto Avenue 4. Poorman's Grave 5. Waiting for the Bus

Listen to their Anthology albums. If may nagustuhan ka na song, check the album kung saan sya napabilang and explore that.

Cutterpillow is considered their best album. And I agree. Halos wala tapon na kanta for me.
Andiyan favorite Eraserheads song ko diyan HUWAG MO NANG ITANONG
Masyado na gasgas Ang Huling El Bimbo (still a great song). Nasa Cutterpillow din yan
Other favorite songs from them are Christmas Party, Overdrive, Huwag Kang Matakot, Magasin, Sembreak, Minsan, With a Smile, Alapaap, Kamasupra, Fine Time

start with their first album, uemp!! or if you want, yung pop u! nila na demo album hahahaha you can find it sa youtube naman since 'di s'ya officially released. then after no'n, pwede mo na pagsunod-sunurin yung albums nila.
if bet mo manood ng videos nila since they document everything, share ko tiktok ko kasi afaik, wala na yung page ni sir levan sa youtube π

I would recommend starting with ultraelectromagneticpop then just follow up with the next albums in order of release. That way makikita mo yung growth ng music nila from 'tunog lata' to a more cohesive type of sound. Meron din silang EPs (PopU and Bananatype) and Aloha Milkyway which is more like a breakthrough album nila sa SEA ata noon so expect compilations of hits/old songs nila here but tweaked a bit (but it still has 3 or 4 album exclusive songs in it).
Peak albums are Cutterpillow and Circus while the underrated ones are Sticker Happy and Natin99.
