>>134285I personally first listened to Soundtracks for the Blind, but I wouldn't recommend it, that album is quite frankly their magnum opus and possibly one of the greatest albums to be made, its also quite avant-garde, and may be considered too much for first listeners.
Instead I suggest two paths, either begin with Children of God (their most listenable and best No-Wave album, No wave being a sort of extreme form of punk, and the reason as to why the band began in the first place), before going listening to the rest of their No Wave albums, which even I haven't finished. Or you can first begin with either White Light from the Mouth of infinity/ The Great Annihilator, and then either return to their pre-hiatus albums, or begin listening to Soundtracks for the Blind and the Trilogy (The Seer, To Be Kind, The Glowing man).
I've heard others say that they should listen to the band chronologically, which your free to do, maybe skip The Burning World
