tempted to go with that as well but a relisten is required (and will be v enjoyable). great band.

Life the best game for that face melting solo on the opener

They're all equally good. Even The Pleaser.

The Pleaser is the best stoner rock record nobody talks about.

my immediate first thought is "My Love is.." but looking at that options that entire catalog is pretty much unimpeachable. "The Pleaser" is a dark horse. Good number of songs off that album are on my gym workout mix!

also, creston spiers is one of the greatest lyricists of all time
My mama’s first love wasa vile ex-Marine,but the blood and guts in her heartcould have washed Pilate’s hands clean.
Her lips were like an anvildropped from a cliff,the fall had almost killed him,and then that anvil hit.
“Your father’s love was like a lanternlit on the brave dark ship,and my love was like the sea,surging for one taste of his wick.And today, your thirteenth birthday,I can see through these tears,that, my son, you’ll be a soldierbefore five more years.Then your love will be the lanternthat guides your ship through the night.Don’t forget the sea loves a soldierwho’s not afraid to die.”
Your love is like an anvil:cold and black as the earth.My love is like the hammer,forging shapes of new life on your curves.My mama told me,when I was fresh from the womb,“Boy you’ll be a soldier.Judging by the size of my wound.”

great band"life..." for me
― nxd, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:32 (six years ago) link
i voted for "life..." as well. it was the first one i heard by them and remains a sentimental favorite. "death goes to the winner," "motown," and "roses" are all-time jams.

Also, they had the best band shirts.
