The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die--advice please
 
They're playing in my town next month and I was thinking about going. I've heard a few tracks by them I like. Where would be a good album of theirs to start with in checking out their discography? Also, if anyone has seen them live, I'd appreciate your thoughts on them, good, bad, or indifferent.

Never heard of this band, but regarding where to start the discography: You should start where all things tend to start, at the beginning. innit

I would actually start with their last album, if you're considering to see them live. That would usually take up most of the setlist. I don't know them either, their last release is a live album, so I would start with that one or check e.g. YT for a recent live performance
I might try it out later tonight, they seem to be similar to Godspeed You Black Emperor according to their wiki page

I hear some similarities with GYBE, but they seem to be a bit more "accessible", for lack of a better word.

I did what the diesels said and listened to this band but now I have crippling depression from being exposed to these E-boys cosplaying as musicians. Now I will drink beer because a beer a day keeps the dumb-fucks away

Whenever, If Ever is the album of theirs that I've heard, and is the one that seems to have internet clout.
