Archers of Loaf - Reason In Decline

From the Merge Records website:
I adore Icky Mettle, Vee Vee, and the vs. The Greatest of All Time EP. This is truly a different animal, and it’s hitting me in all the right ways. Their traditional lo-fi production has been cleaned up and polished completely. The songs are all active ear worms. Kinda ironic that I didn’t even know that they had anything coming out and was made aware of the album from an email that I got from AARP.
Anyway, highly recommended to check out.

Reason in Decline, Archers of Loaf’s first studio album since the 1998 release of White Trash Heroes, is no nostalgic, low-impact reboot. When they emerged from North Carolina’s ’90s indie-punk incubator, the Archers’ hurtling, sly, gloriously dissonant roar was a mythologized touchstone of slacker-era refusal. But this new LP is an entirely different noise. In fact, it’s a startling revelation. Guitarists Eric Bachmann and Eric Johnson, once headstrong smartasses inciting a series of artful pileups on the band’s four studio albums and EP, are now a fluidly complementary, sonically advanced unit.

I see people bring these people up a lot. Can you give me maybe 3 best to start with? Like the ones that catch a new listener?

Archers of Loaf are great! Their live shows are even better!

Sure, here’s one track from each of the three releases I mentioned in my OP:
Web in Front from Icky Mettle
Audiowhore from the vs. The Greatest of All Time EP
Harnessed in Slums from Vee Vee

Those 3 albums are their best. New one sounds pretty good but not at the level of those 3.
