The debut Throwing Muses album was released 21 years ago this week in the UK on 4ad.

Really? I feel so old....
The first TM song I ever heard was 'Rabbit's Dying' on 6UVS-FM (as it was called then) in Perth, Western Australia. Yes, it is/was a university station.
I recall buying the LP the very next day.

The first thing I heard was a demo tape with an early, creepy version of "Stand Up" that got circulated around Rhode Island.

I just digitized my early 4AD vinyl this weekend. Still classic.

Classic. Without a doubt.
I prefer Tanya to Kristin, probably because in a throw-down i think she'd fight dirty; biting, scratching, knee's to the kootch - you know, whatever it takes. The partnership between Ms. Donelly and Ms. Deal, however, was a great match, and today i'll listen to that first Breeders album even before something as good as "Ramona".

The Real Ramona and University are probably my least favourite of the Muses albums I own, despite the insane amount of love they get here. I think they're a touch too shiny sounding, especially University. House Tornado is classic from start to finish, it has a sort of raw countryish sound to it. I should probably hear the debut before I make any judgements on a best album though.
Tanya Donelly's songs are bright spots on the albums, they turn up just when you want a bit of variety. But Throwing Muses really is Kristin's band - it's the force of her personality that carries them.
Dave Narcizo's drumming is faultless as well. It's criminal how little recognition they get, honestly.

FACT: "Not Too Soon" sounds as absolutely perfect today as it did in 1991.
