yeah I'm Not Scared is incredible. it was given short shrift in the PSB poll. i wonder if the Eighth Wonder version puts some people off.

started with Behaviour, gonna work my way back to Please

Behaviour is awesome of course

think Introspective might be even better? close-run thing

It's better.

(today at least)

yeah it's really elegant music, although Behaviour might be more vivid

this has some kind of indisposable charm, some hint at timelessness

'i'm not scared' was the tipping point into me posting that fwiw

basically every album is good to amazing aside from Release (which has a couple of amazing songs on it but ends up just being okay overall) and Elysium (which is hands-down the most embarrassing thing they've ever done)

― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP)

Agree that these are their only two weak albums but Release is still their lowest point for me. Think there are more embarrassing moments on Elysium but there are songs I like more than anything on Release.

Please is a fantastic album but Actually, Behaviour and Very are their three masterpieces. I wouldn't change a single thing about any of them.
