Sunset is the best Mountain Goats album followed closely by the Babylon Springs. Everything before is a ramp up to this album and everything after is a slow ramp down. they're still great but nothing of substance beyond the title tracks these days.
[spoiler]Chavo Guerrero is one of their best songs in years[/spoiler]

All Hail West Texas is on the same level as Sunset Tree though
I absolutely love all of John's discography, especially lo-fi era, but there's no denying that he peaked in the early 00's

OP here, I was gonna mention West Texas too
don't know why I didn't
good call
Sweden > West Texas > The Coroner's Gambit > everything else
I dunno if this happens for anyone else but I get a connection or something when it comes to certain artists and I just end up loving absolutely everything they make, tmg is one of those artists for me, I can't rank their music or compare it to other music or anything like that because it's just not like that for me, ya know?

No yeah, that makes total sense. You're a casual and probably didn't vote.
