Quite possibly the most overrated record of the 21st century. Also, a terribly uneven record.
Masterpiece: Suburban War
Excellent: The Suburbs, Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
Great/Very good: Ready to Start, Empty Room
Good: Modern Man, Rococo, City With No Children, Half Light I
Decent: Deep Blue
Mediocre: Sprawl I (Flatland)
Bad: Month of May, Wasted Hours, We Used to Wait
Terrible: Half Light II (No Celebration)
