7. Red House Painters - Red House Painters [Bridge] (1993): An inferior companion to the self-titled "Rollercoaster" LP, "Bridge" is not technically an afterthought -- the songs here were recorded at the same time as the songs on "Rollercoaster"-- but it feels like a collection of magnificent B-sides more so than an album of consequence. Some of Kozelek's finest sketches can be found here -- "Uncle Joe," "Helicopter," "Bubble" -- but they seem unfinished and occasionally meandering, as if they could have used more time and editing. Still, by nearly any other artist's standards, "Bridge" would qualify as a masterpiece.
