Albums Overview
IPECAC albums are usually pretty short. They're also usually pretty bad. The only almost "good" album (IMO) is Live at Carnegie Hall, which, at 4 songs, is more like an EP.
For a starting point, check out Tripecac's Songs to Sleep By compilation. For every IPECAC song ever recorded, dive into Complete IPECAC.
