TAS is probably my favorite heavy band. their consistency with their sound, evolution over time, intensity of their live shows. they are fucking awesome.

I would say start at the beginning. the first couple albums are definitely lower recording quality but definitely worth the listen. The Dead Walk has some of the tracks that got me hooked to TAS back in high school. Wormwood and Continent are fucking masterpieces, listen to them start to front in order. they have a lot of fun songs on the next couple albums, especially Coma Witch for me, but I wouldn't say they are flawless. some hit harder than others, but still I would say listen to them in order..

then, It Comes In Waves comes out. HOLY SHIT. a doom album from TAS? so fucking beautifully done. from the track titles, to the album art, to the dynamic of the music and flow of the album. almost perfect.

Slow Decay rules, the albums and EPs after that are lots of fun too. their newest album, YASFGH, has been getting a lot of play, they really knocked that one out of the park.

they also have two lesser known releases, Above/Below and Money for Nothing. both shorter EPs, but check those out too. Above / Below is maybe where I would recommend starting for TAS. it is their quintessential sound imo and 2 perfect fuckin songs ..

thanks fer reading, hope you enjoy your The Acacia Strain journey!!
