Wall of Mouths

I would like to thank everyone for the suggestions and explanations, as well as apologise for not responding sooner, been a bit pre-occupied this past week. I havent been able to take Troublegum out of the CD player since I made my original post though, I had forgotten how much I love this album. For those who allude to the metal direction of that album, this is probably why I like it so much, because I am into metal. I just love the riffs, production, and some of the lyrics on Troublegum are so good, I love some of the almost apathetic quality of some of the delivery. I had a feeling that this album was a “one-off” which was why I was hesitant to pick up any of the other stuff. However, after reading all the responses I am definitely going to take some of the advice and check out some of the other albums suggested. I am also glad to see that I am not the only one who loves this album, it is indeed a masterpiece. Thanks again for the advice and I will report back (eventually!) with my findings.

Let me just say first off that I am not what you would call a “Therapy fan”. I saw them at Donnington 95 and at the same time a friend of mine kept playing Troublegum in my house to the point where I had to go and buy a copy for myself because I loved it so much. To this day it remains one of my favourite albums, a classic in my collection. However, due to the size of my music collection and the time I spend listening to other bands, I made a conscious decision to not investigate any other material by Therapy, my reason being that if the other stuff was different or not as good it might tarnish my view of the band. I know to some that may sound insane, but it makes sense to me…

Anyways, I had a listen to Troublegum the other day, it’s always a good tension reliever, and I decided I would like to find some other material finally, hence the discovery of this website and forum. Based on the fact that I love the aforementioned Troublegum, and based on the fact that a lot of you people are familiar with how the sound of the band may (or may not) have evolved over the past 10-15 years, could you please suggest another album or two for me to start off with? I would like something as good and as similar sounding as Troublegum, IF such a thing exists. I was thinking Infernal Love because it was the followup, but I see that a couple others get higher ratings from other members here, after reading the ratings thread. Thanks in advance.
