A band I've wanted to check out, what would you recommend as a good entry point? Personally, I first listened to 98.12.28, but I don't know if that's the best thing to do. Having heard pretty much all their work at this point, it feels like the band's masterpiece and it kinda feels like watching the climax of a movie first without watching the rest of it. I think 'Long Season', which is basically one large song broken up into 5 parts, is a good point to start to get the essence of the band. Maybe 'Uchū Nippon Setagaya' is a good album after that, which is a bit more laid back and 'summer'-like. Depending on your preference in those 2 albums you can choose to listen to specific albums afterwards, since some of their albums are more electronic/ska-like, while their later albums are very different and are better classified as psychedelic dream pop. If you're especially in the dreamlike effect of their music, I'd say it's a good point to listen to 98.12.28. But once again, I listened to 98.12.28 first and I was absolutely blown away so I guess there are multiple entry points. I also found this handy scheme someone with a lot of time on their hands made on reddit on a roadmap throughout their discography:

Might be a good idea to finally try one on a band I'm coming to blind.
