The new album is patchy but there's still some fantastic stuff on it: The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song, The WAND, It Overtakes Me, Free Radicals, Haven't Got A Clue, they're all top stuff.
I would recommend listening to The Soft Bulletin, then Clouds Taste Metallic. If you like Clouds then try Transmissions From The Satellite Heart and At War With The Mystics. I warn you though that their 1980s stuff is very different. They were hugely influenced by the Butthole Surfers back then, and it's very trippy, weird and punky. Their first few records aren't much cop but from In A Priest Driven Ambulance on it's pretty solid stuff.
You should check 'em out live too. Now that is an experience.
