It's hard to pick a favorite SD album. Here lately I can't get enough of Two Against Nature and this song "West of Hollywood". What draws me to SD is their production. I can understand why audiophiles used to bring SD records into stores to test the speakers. Listening to SD through some good headphones is quite an experience. Their sound quality, along with the catchy hooks/melodies, and cryptic lyrics, make SD a truly unique musical journey. No other band sounds like SD.
