Like...in their entire library? Because most of what came out before Long Drive is awful.

Also Strangers to Ourself has like five good songs. Which isn't great on a 15 track record.

Of their studio albums for sure. I havent ever heard their two early cassettes in their entirety, but their early stuff is fun. But as far as studio albums go

Crowded West > Long Drive > Good News > Strangers > Dead > Moon

Good news for people who like bad news will probably always be my favorite, Ocean Breathes Salty is such an amazing song

Lonesome Crowded West is, for sure, their best album.

Worst is definitely Strangers to Ourselves, imo.

M&A just doesnt keep my attention. I hit play and it goes something like

3rd planet heck yes! What a great opener!.... Gravity rides everything is the perfect follow up. Oh god...... Dark Center is a pretty good song.... Perfect Disguise, nice. Short and sweet before the real meat of the album... Tiny Cities made of- skip... skip.... I hate these two songs skip em both.... knock off Night on The Sun, skip... Wild Pack of Family Dogs! Great little tune!.... Paper Thin Walls! Now were getting somewhere!... skip... skip... skip.... skip.... oh I guess thats the whole album.

Very top heavy. The NotS and NaHNPT EPs are so much better.

I'm going to describe this poorly, but M&A to me is one of those rare albums that feels larger than life. Not in a pretentious post-rock Explosions in the Sky sort-of-way, but like an epic adventure novel with peaks and lulls and joy and destitution. It feels like it's telling a story even though it's not a concept album. It's exhilarating one moment and exhausting the next.

An album that gives me the same sort of feeling despite being completely different is Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space by Spiritualized.
