The Revival was the most immediate for me but The Haves Have Naught is my favorite these days. That bridge part is amazing.

Album Rating: 4.5

The Revival is still my least favorite here, but it's grown on me. The Haves Have Naught was an immediate standout for me, still is. Probably in my top 3 off this.

Grew off me. Still a great band and incredible series of albums, but to me this doesn't touch II or IV.

I need to give this more time, but I think it's better crafted than IV, though without the individual highlights (Is There Anybody Here, Waves etc). I can see this just edging it over IV but falling short to II and III - but much more listening will come first!

Album Rating: 4.5

Act II doesn't even touch this, I've never understood the love for that album.

II has some of their hardest hitters - a good portion of that album is so damn solid that it bulldozes through the production, occasionally choppy tracklist, snooze tracks and (comparatively) unnuanced arrangements
