Chronic Town and Murmur are my favs

they influenced bands that would become better than them

Murmur, Fables, and to a lesser extent Reckoning are all masterpieces. Everything after that is good, but not great. Until a few months ago, they were simultaneously my favorite band and the most disappointing band I knew

Automatic for the People is overrated as fuck

Murmur, Document and Green are stellar

there's lots of hits and misses in their discography, but they've never released an album that truly blew me away

I like Out of Time.

Oh no, I've said too much.

Sounds like your standards are too high.

This, inconsistent but as to be expected over three decades. Their compilation albums, particularly In Time are fantastic though.

it's their fault for having their first 3 albums all be 9.5+ (2 perfect 10s)
