You Wrote These Songs After I Killed Your Physics Teacher (2011)
Some say this album is a return to the style of Long Hair's first two albums -- and those people are probably referring this album's relentlessness -- but, in LH's own opinion, this is more dense and creepy than the earlier stuff. Instead of fighting the hiss, hum, buzz, and unwanted background sounds, LH finally learns to embrace them. This album needs to be listened to in its entirety, at whatever volume you feel to be appropriate.

1. The Great, Great Wig Factories of Yore (I) [9:22]
2. I Wake Up Watching Movies On My Hand [11:35]
3. Water On My Brain [16:43]
4. City Cross the Land [17:31]
5. The Great, Great Wig Factories of Yore (II) [10:07]

Time Times Sound (2011)
This one compiles more of the best of Long Hair, picking up where the Dingus comp left off in early 2009. Sure, most of the tracks have been available on previous releases, but on here they sport all new mixes and even some new recordings of certain instruments. If that wasn't enough (and it wasn't), you get the simply fantastic new track, "The Sea of Milk".

1. The Sea of Milk [6:48]
2. Yeti [8:17]
3. There Is Nothing To Forget Anymore [4:35]
4. Wonderful Cocaine Tonight [5:30]
5. This Train Has Sailed [3:24]
6. Chasmed River [8:31]

Young Oceans (2009)
On its sixth album, Long Hair came dangerously close to taking itself seriously. The next stage in the evolution of a band that never stops evolving (or devolving), this one is equal parts Live/Dead, Crim, the Cow, and Music to Eat. Kinda feels like an Idiot's Guide to Prog, with an emphasis on the Idiot.

1. Chasmed River [13:57]
2. Popehead [12:47]
3. Yeti [8:14]
4. Baphomet's Diner [12:32]

Swallowing the V (2008)
This, LH's second album, is a sprawling, confusing epic. Most of the tracks are about dreams -- keep in mind, this is an instrumental album -- and one can't quite help but feel in a dreamlike state when listening. While it may be an uneven affair, there are vintage LH moments ("XTDSS54" and "Curse of the Witch" come to mind).

Disc 1
1. The Nocnitsa [13:56]
2. Attacked By Violence [2:24]
3. Curse of the Witch [8:43]
4. The V [5:08]
5. XTDSS54 [27:21]

Disc 2
1. Roref W'tes [7:11]
2. Niflheim [19:43]
3. I've Already Begun Killing... My Course is Clear [2:05]
4. Somnolence [13:55]
5. Ease the Effect [8:25]
6. Moderate-Potency Dosage [3:02]

The Rise, Progress and Termination of Long Hair (2007)
This is where it all began -- these three extended pieces containing classic LH riffs, the musicial equivilent of a kindergarten class on methadone. Two out of the three pieces contain drum solos. I mean, c'mon.

1. Rise [17:18]
2. Progress [17:50]
3. Termination [22:44]
