ITT: amazing albums in an otherwise mediocre discography

The Hurting was great though. Had their best song, Pale Shelter.

I actually didn't like SFTBC much but I do quite enjoy The Hurting.

Well shit, guess I have to check it out again. Wasn't too impressed when I listened to it a few years back but I guess I'll have to give it another chance.

love the songs and arrangements, but I'll be damned if those aren't two of the most punchable faces in music history

It could be argued that it's too self-indulgent and melodramatic but that in and of itself lends it a sort of catharsis. Still, I think the songcraft on it is quite strong regardless of how reliably its mood hits with the listener. Even if SFTBC is their true claim to fame, The Hurting is proof enough that that record was no fluke. They knew what they were doing.
