Depends what you like

If you like Sonic Youth-esque screeching, off-key madness, go for the early albums.

If you like more polished, solid, synthy stuff, go for 23 or Misery Is A Butterfly.

Personally I'd recommend 23, I think it's a masterpiece. I do like the early stuff too though, I'd recommend either La Mia or Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons.

Don't be put off if you don't like the early or late stuff, give both a chance, they've changed quite a lot.

i prefer their current

depeche mode/portishead phase. i'd say the intersection of their old and new style was around the time of the damaged lemons album, so you may want to start with that one.

That's true

Damaged Lemons is a bit of a mix, would be a good place to start and then choose which way you want to go depending on which tracks you prefer.

I don't think there's a "wrong" way to start

Well, except I think I have an ep in a foreign language (though I might be confusing with Yo La Tengo) but otherwise every BR album I have is solid. Also, good live band.

foreign ep

that's probably 'melodie citronique' - mostly remakes of damaged lemons tracks with foreign lyrics.

misery is a butterfly is probably my favourite, though any of their last 4 are strong contenders.

I really like 23

but La Mia Vita Violenta has its moments too.

Most of their albums are actually very good.

melody...

of a certain damaged lemon is rad... so are all the ones before, really like the s/t and "fake can be just as good". not of fan of 23 though, it's polished and quite boring actually, saw them live for the 23 tour and was really disappointed...
