recent tall dwarfs

"Stumpy" was an exception as it really was International Tall Dwarfs, which is more of an experiment interacting with lucky fans across the globe. While "Stumpy" is imho weaker than the rest, i feel it's a bit too misaligned amongst Dwarfsies.

That said, the subsequent albums to "Stumpy" are more like the classic onces, IMHO... although they take a little more growing on you. And the Knox songs are more like his solo stuff (i.e. rock, use of that big thudding beatbox, etc.).

I liked "50 Flavours of Glue" quite a bit, but I think "The Sky Above The Mud Below" is a little better, although this took a long while for me to get. It seems Chris is stepping back a bit these days in the Dwarfs, and giving Alec more of the spotlight. (not to imply that less Knox presence = better, mind you)
