Album number 3: recorded in London. Melancholic, cryptic, beautiful. And early evidence that this band was not one to repeat itself.

Album number 5, their last on the small IRS label before signing with Warner Bros: the transition from cult heroes to pop stars is well underway, with more politically pointed lyrics than usual.

Album number 2 manages to not disappoint after their debut.It doesn't push the enveloppe the way the next ones would, but consolidates the band's strengths.

I don't agree with all of your rankings, but I like the fact you have 'fables' in
Your top 5, most people do not give that album much credit.
Also, ' murmur' is my favorite. I actually saw them outside of Athens ga.
Right after that album was released, for free no less.
