My rankings. Honestly, outside of Around The Sun, I'd recommend them all. And anything out of that top 10 could be somebody's favourite, they're that good. I think the top five are unchanging. But Monster might sneak in there some days. What a band!
1. Automatic For The People 2. Green 3. Fables of the Reconstruction 4. Murmur 5. Life's Rich Pageant 6. Monster 7. Reckoning 8. Out Of Time 9. Document 10. New Adventures In Hi-Fi 11. Up 12. Collapse Into Now 13. Reveal 14. Accelerate 15. Around The Sun

Automatic Murmur Out of Time Fables New Adventures in Hi-Fi Document Reckoning Life's Rich Pageant Green Monster Up Reveal Collapse Into Now Accelerate / Around The Sun (Don't really rate them) I think the band in general are very big fans of New Adventures. And most fans rate it really highly. I think it's a brilliant album, in my top 10 there's often little more than a fag papers separation between them. But it's just one that I simply haven't given as much attention to as the others and I feel obliged to give it some proper spins again. Anyway, here's a new interview with Rick Beato chatting to Mike Mills. A very compelling long interview, very technical and detailed. Mills talks with such integrity, no sense of hubris, ego or indulgence to the work they created. Just really humble, almost workmanlike perspective to making timeless records.

Love it! Such a mature, wise bunch too regarding reunions; 'it would never be as good'. They also stopped at the right time too. I don't think they have a bad album, I don't even dislike Around The Sun (which is bland at worst). Wise words indeed. Their hearts wouldn't be in it. I've only listened to Automatic For The People and I like it a lot. Nightswimming and Man On The Moon are the highlights for me. I should listen to the band more.
