I agree.

They put out a live album shortly after Around came out, and the performances of some songs make it clear there's some good material to be found on their supposed worst album.

I disagree, although it is quite good.

I sort of don't think they ever made a totally bad album. I prefer some over others, or some are better for certain moods, but none really suck. That's pretty fucking rare in any discography.

Interestingly, my top 10 song choices don't really comment on how I feel about the albums. Example: Automatic may be in my top 3 albums, but not one particular song makes my list.

Wolves, Lower
9-9
Pilgrimage
Harborcoat
Photograph* (w/ Natalie Merchant, off the Born to Choose compilation)
Fall on Me
End of the World
Country Feedback
Beat a Drum ("This is all I want, all I need" from Reveal)
Uberlin

This list will change in an hour. Sooner. Yeah, I'm already swapping "Oh My Heart" for "Uberlin."
