Again, I fucking love unwound also... I'm not sure why everyone suggests repitition though as it is my least favourite out of everything they've done. Also with Leaves Turn Inside you - which is undoubtedly great and otherwordly it's kind of unlike anything else they've done so i dont think a good place to start... Unless you're really into radiohead and godspeed and mogwai - because that's kind of why everyone loves it.
Anyway, im talking shit... My favourite by them is probably a toss up between Fake Train and Challenge for Civilized Society (though it has to be the version with all the extra stuff on it or might not think so)
Fake Train is like the raw in your face album - if you like that kind of thing and Challenge is great because it starts off with these solid catchy songs and then completly turns into a psychedelic noise freakout (maybe no the best way of putting it) but it eases so well into the other.
As for Future of What - that might be a good one to start on though as i'd say it's more of a song album than an album album... Like it's a pretty good indicator of what unwound is though it's not consistant it probably has some of their best songs on there.
