I've been enjoying Cherry Peel especially, and I picked up Sunlandic Twins which I like, but not quite as much. What else should I pick up?

Canada sucks.

Fun band. Hissing Fauna is pretty great, but I like Satanic Panic in the Attic a little better.

Of the earlier stuff, The Bedside Drama and Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies are about as good as Cherry Peel, from a quality perspective. My favorite record of that period (and I think this is widely agreed on) is The Gay Parade, which you should probably check out immediately. It is glorious lofi psychedelia. It's like what Brian Wilson would make if he were poor.
Of the second period albums, well, Satanic Panic in the Attic has lots of supporters, and while it definitely, 100% has some great great songs on it, I find it to be kind of sterile. Same goes, except moreso, for the Sunlandic Twins. Sunlandic Twins does have some cool songs. I like Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games, aka the Outback Steakhouse song:

I like Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? an awful lot. I would probably end up ranking it highly among last years new releases, and I think it is the best album from this portion of their discography. The lyrics are kind of introspective and more personal, a drastic departure from previous releases, and I think it works pretty well. Yes, he is emoing it up lyrically, but as an art-damaged dumbass sometimes it sounds like he's writing songs for ME! As far as music goes, it's a refinement of the sound of Satanic and Sunlandic, but it's more confidant sounding, like the band actually knows what it's doing outside of using gee whiz electronic and production gimmickry. So yeah, it's a bit indulgent lyrically, but the changeup, along with the refinement of technique, ultimately produced a better and more interesting record. The accompanying EP Icons Abstract Three is also pretty good, but you can tell the songs are basically leftovers.
There are a few releases by them I still have to check out.

HISSING FAUNA
YAY

Their older stuff is kind of unbearable. IMO, they didn't hit their stride until they snagged the Elf Power guitarist. Ever since then, they have been STELLAR.

Dun listen to him. The older stuff is fuck awesome lofi.

I youtubed some of the songs from the album. It's just not my thing. I think it's that guy's voice. Is it even a guy? I'm going to make up a title for an Of Montreal song..ready? Here we go: A Hubris Dawns on the Seltzer Fractal (Chinese Dreams on the Television) In Summer Time: Redux.
Okay, I'm done hating. I'll leave you folks alone.

Does that mean I have to listen to pretentious college-rock, art-cigarillo shit like you? I like all kinds of music. I know you ferociously googled Propagandhi and decided you learned everything about them in about 5 minutes.
-
I'm not sure how straightforward psychedelia with some lofi edges counts as art cigarillo shit, nor do I think their music is particularly pretentious. The last album, yeah, a little bit, but the rest of their catalog has very little pretension to it at all. The main draw of the band has always been how weird they sound.

Post 70's punk is the very definition of pretentious.
Which is the very antithesis of punk.
I bet you still tell your friends The Offspring were great before they 'sold out'.
Eat it.

Pretentious just means well thought out and calculated. I like pretentious work if it is quality.

Who the fuck even brought up punk rock? Who gives a damn about punk rock? You sound like you have schizophrenia. You're just talking to yourself.
Anyway, TVC: I made the mistake of judging music objectively - which is probably impossible. You can only judge the listeners objectively :P.
