Avett Brothers

This is a band that has been on my radar for a couple of years but no one i talk to in my "music circles" is into them.

What album do i get to fall in love with these guys? Where should i start?

I got a 10 itunes gift card waiting to burn

please pardon yourself
if its the beaches
die die die
paranoia in b flat minor
murder in the city
the greatest sum
head full of doubt
ten thousand words

just a start.........

I would start with Emotionalism or the Live Vol 2 album.

Thanks Ajedigeko and the Look

I'm probably looking for albums, but i appreciate the songs as i'll take that into account when decideing which album.

I'm leaning towards Emotionalism right now. Still open to suggestions though.

Emotionalism is my favorite. That album gave me the Avett bug....Bad.

I think The Gleam II is very strong as well. It is an EP so it is cheaper.

1st song I heard was Murdered In the City, which prompted me to purchase Gleam 1 & 2, followed by Emotionalism... its all good

gleam II.......as look stated, you will not go wrong with any of the albums.

I watched their austin city limits show last night because i had it on my dvr.

They were pretty cool. I can see why they are liked. I'm not sure if they are for me. I will probably still track down a cd sometime in the near future and give them a chance.

Looks like their live shows could be fun. I regret not seeing them in the early 2000's when i lived in Charlotte. This girl i knew at the time wanted me to go with her but I never went to any of their shows she went to. :(

There was nothing great about the ACL show. It did not do the boys justice.

The ACL show last night was pretty sweet - but way too short.

I was shocked they didn't get the full hour. Good show except "kickdrum heart" - that song is fucking awful. Avett has a fun live energy.

I'm seeing these guys in one week - pretty stoked

samjam

Really hoping they come around here this year...seen em every year since 2011 and they are one of the best live acts around, not to mention one of the best bands around. Nothing but good things to say, these guys are downright incredible in so many ways!

Seth recorded an album with Jessica Lea Mayfield of Elliott Smith covers & it's really, really good.

Seeing them with Zac Brown Band this summer- will be a great show

I would start with Emotionalism or the Live Vol 2 album.

I would check out the The Carpenter as well. And "I and Love and You"

I just ordered one, waiting on it to arrive. Wish it was a full concert though on the DVD.

Just listened today on Spotify. Love that cover of The Boys Are Back In Town!! Is that Bob on lead?

They remain one of my very very very favorite bands. They are incredibly gifted musicians and their shows are some of the most fun I've ever had. Really excited to see them at MSG next spring with Brandi Carlile!

I like that... good song. They also have another version w/out the talking in it... 

pledgeagrievance

Liking the song. Just caught it live on Sirius @ Bonnaroo. Sounds even better

Yes i'm digging the new song, can't wait for their new album. My favourite band, and they seem like really nice group of people.
The only problem I have with The Avett Brothers, is that they are not well known in Australia, so i'll never get the chance to see them live in concert.
