Off the top of my head, a top five would look something like:
The Diamond Sea
Star Power
Brave Men Run (In my Family)
The Sprawl
Wildflower Soul
Though I could swap out almost all of those (except Diamond Sea).

Definitely not for me. I think it's one of the low points of Rather Ripped.

It’s got a nice motorik thing going on. EVOL sounds so murky though. Sometimes I love the production and sometimes I don’t dig it as much.

You know what song I completely forgot about? Karen Revisited. Now there’s a hidden gem.

Yeah I don’t know why I said that. It’s the freaking centerpiece of Murray Street.

It's my favorite song of theirs to listen to while driving, which I think tipped it over the edge today considering I just got back from a long drive through Alabama, but by tomorrow it could be outside the top 15 and replaced by Shadow of a Doubt. I take that as a testament to how good this band is.

I’ve probably posted this before but this is one of those bands I feel like I would be really into but just never have given them a proper chance.

I don’t think I ever posted in this thread, I have all the albums up through Washing Machine, what’s a good one after that?
I did listen to their last 2 albums (Rather Ripped and The Eternal I think?), but that was when they came out years ago.
My favorites are Sister, Daydream Nation, Dirty and Washing Machine if that would influence recs.
