RA is my favourite from a production standpoint.

If they stuck with Tchad Blake’s binaural sound, that would have been the best.

No Code is still probably my favorite from a sound perspective - it has a warmth in its production and vibe that no other of their albums quite have.

There are about 4 songs I really like, the rest are middle of the road. Not terrible though like Backspacer and 2/3 of LB.

This album, given time, has thrived for me. Still enthusiastically sharing tracks from it with friends.

Have barely listened to it in the past couple of years, but I did really enjoy it when it was released.

which are your all timers?

For me S/T is easily their most inconsistent album
