that's a hard question

chronologically may work, since you'll follow their changes/evolution

if you want a general idea, this new live album is a good one also

AM is also a good option

so:

debut, AM or their new live album

These guys don't have a bad record. But their debut and AM (as bada said) are perfect records. Those are definitely the two to start with.

I would say start with Humbug.

Don't start with the Royal Albert Hall show as I'm finding it a tad lackluster.

Let’s do this. I saw them live opening for the Black Keys at MSG nearly a decade ago, but don’t remember any of it.

I was at that MSG show up in the cheap seats. Memories are a little hazy as well for me, but I remember enjoying their set. They played R U Mine? which was one of my favorite songs that year.

I listened to AM once or twice. Wasn't really into it.

I’ve seen them 5 times. They played this when they opened for The Black Keys. It was worth the price of admission, and I for sure left about 8 songs into the BK set.
